Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Derivative financial instruments

All derivatives are recorded as assets or liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their respective fair values. For derivatives designated as cash flow and fair value hedges, the unrealized gain or loss related to the derivatives is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company assesses at the inception of the hedge, whether the derivative in the hedging transaction will be highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows or in fair value of the hedged item. Changes in the fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria for designation as a hedge are recognized in earnings.

Foreign Exchange: The Company manufactures and sells products in a number of countries throughout the world and, as a result, the Company is exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company's major foreign currency exposures involve the markets in Western Europe, South America and Asia. Some sales and purchase contracts contain embedded derivatives due to the nature of doing business in certain jurisdictions, which the Company takes into consideration as part of its risk management policy. The purpose of foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the economic impact of exchange rate volatility associated with anticipated foreign currency purchases and sales made in the normal course of business. The Company primarily utilizes forward foreign exchange contracts with maturities of less than one year in managing this foreign exchange rate risk. The Company has not designated these forward foreign exchange contracts, which had a notional value at March 31, 2026 of $597 million, as hedges and therefore does not apply hedge accounting.

The fair values of our foreign currency derivative assets are recorded within Other current assets and Other assets, and the fair values of foreign currency derivative liabilities are recorded within Other current liabilities and Other liabilities. The following table presents the fair value of foreign currency derivatives and embedded derivatives included within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

A master netting arrangement allows counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other as a result of separate offsetting derivative transactions. The Company enters into master netting arrangements with its counterparties when possible to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions by permitting it to net settle for transactions with the same counterparty. However, the Company does not net settle with such counterparties. As a result, derivatives are presented at their gross fair values in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, information related to these offsetting arrangements was as follows:

Net Investment: The Company uses cross currency swaps to hedge portions of its net investments denominated in Euro against the effect of adverse foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. The gains or losses on these derivative instruments are included in the foreign currency translation component of other comprehensive income until the net investment is sold, diluted, or liquidated. The Company elected to use the spot method to assess the effectiveness for these derivatives that are designated as net investment hedges for accounting purposes. Coupons received for the cross currency swaps are excluded from the net investment hedge effectiveness assessment and are recorded in Interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Cash flows related to coupons received on the swaps are included in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and the final exchange on the swaps will be reported in financing activities.

In the second and third quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a series of cross currency swap agreements that synthetically swap U.S. dollar denominated fixed rate debt to Euro denominated fixed rate debt with a combined notional amount of $2 billion. These cross currency swaps were designated as net investment hedges. Swaps with a combined notional amount of $986 million mature in June 2029, $578 million mature in June 2030, and $581 million mature in June 2031, respectively.

At March 31, 2026, the fair value of these derivatives designated as net investment hedges were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other assets of $20 million and as Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $15 million. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of these derivatives designated as net investment hedges were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other liabilities of $23 million and as Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $17 million.

Fair Value: On January 3, 2025, the Company entered into five cross-currency swaps expiring in January 2032 related to the portion of the U.S. dollar denominated Term Loan B drawn down by JBT Marel's European entity. These cross currency swap agreements have a combined notional amount of $693 million and synthetically swap interest rates from SOFR to EURIBOR and hedge the impact of variability in exchange rates on the U.S. dollar denominated debt and related interest payments, excluding the credit spread, by our euro-functional entity.

The Company has designated these swaps as fair value hedges and changes in the fair value of these swaps are recognized in earnings in the period realized. The gains and losses related to the change in the fair value of the hedged components of the swaps are included in other income and substantially offset the change in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt that is attributable to the change in euro to U.S. dollar exchange rates. Changes in fair value of the swaps related to excluded components of the derivative instruments are recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income and recognized into earnings systematically over the life of the hedged instrument.

At March 31, 2026, the fair value of these derivatives designated as fair value hedges was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other liabilities of $102 million and as Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $22 million. At December 31, 2025, the fair value of these derivatives designated as fair value hedges was recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as Other liabilities of $117 million and as Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $20 million.

Interest Rates: In March 2020, the Company executed four interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $200 million and in May 2020 the Company executed one interest rate swap with a notional amount of $50 million. These interest rate swaps fixed the interest rate applicable to certain of the Company's variable-rate debt and swapped one-month SOFR rates for fixed rates. The Company designated these swaps as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value of the swaps were recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income. The interest rate swaps expired during the second quarter of 2025.

Credit Risk

By their nature, financial instruments involve risk including credit risk for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. The Company manages the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and establishing credit limits, and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty, for all receivables and derivative contracts as of March 31, 2026, is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Refer to Note 1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, for a description of how allowance for credit loss is determined on financial assets measured at amortized cost, which includes Trade receivables, Contract assets, and non-current receivables.
