AdeptAg, one of North America’s leading horticultural solutions providers, has announced a strategic partnership with FGM, a Danish innovator known for its Moving Gutter Systems (MGS). This collaboration unites two industry leaders dedicated to delivering and servicing solutions for the controlled environment agriculture (CEA) sector.
FGM’s Moving Gutter System has gained international acclaim among growers for its capacity to optimize space and enhance plant growth. Designed for crops such as lettuce, herbs, vegetables, and other leafy greens, MGS offers a revolutionary approach to improving efficiency and sustainability.
Through this partnership, AdeptAg will serve as the exclusive North American distributor for FGM’s grow systems and various FGM-manufactured horticultural equipment, enabling growers across the continent to access this cutting-edge, labor-saving technology. AdeptAg’s family of experienced companies — Agrinomix, Zwart Irrigation, and Plantech Controls—will contribute to these projects.
“North American leafy green, vegetable, and herb producers face the challenge of finding reliable growing systems that keep them competitive in the market for years to come,” says David Stienes, AdeptAg’s CEO. “We know our partnership with FGM’s Moving Gutter Systems will enable us to provide the most comprehensive solution on the market, along with the ability to maintain and service that technology throughout its lifecycle — a service that no other provider can truly match today.
Currently, many users of moving gutter systems lack a North American team of domestic service personnel, and when issues arise, they are dependent on remote support from companies an ocean away, Stienes says. “If a grower purchases an FGM system from AdeptAg, they can trust that we will be there on-site when service is required.”
Jeff Warschauer, FGM’s Director of Business Development and Key Account Sales, echoed this sentiment, adding: “A more formal cooperation was the logical next step after many successful years of collaboration with AdeptAg on various projects in North America. We know this partnership will provide growers with the best of both worlds — advanced technologies and exceptional North American service. AdeptAg’s comprehensive offerings include irrigation systems, water treatment, seeding, propagation, transplanting, harvesting equipment, UL/CSA electrical designs and installations, as well as controls for semi- and fully automated solutions. After 40 years in the greenhouse industry, I trust that AdeptAg will continue to deliver the highest level of customer service that so many North American growers have come to expect.”
