Exclusive partnership brings advanced Moving Gutter Systems with dedicated local service support to North American CEA producers

AdeptAg, North America’s leading horticultural solutions provider, has entered into a strategic partnership with FGM, a renowned Danish innovator celebrated for its advanced Moving Gutter Systems (MGS).

This collaboration, aimed at revolutionizing the Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) sector, will enable growers across North America to benefit from cutting-edge, labor-saving technology designed to optimize space and enhance plant growth.

The new partnership positions AdeptAg as the exclusive North American distributor for FGM’s grow systems and a range of FGM-manufactured horticultural equipment, thus uniting two industry leaders dedicated to both innovation and robust service support for crops such as lettuce, herbs, vegetables, and other leafy greens.

FGM’s Moving Gutter System has garnered international acclaim for its ability to maximize growing area while promoting efficient plant development.

By addressing the challenges of space optimization and sustainable production, MGS offers a transformative solution that has been widely recognized among growers seeking to improve their operational efficiency.

Through this partnership, growers will now have access to state-of-the-art technology that not only enhances productivity but also contributes to environmental sustainability by streamlining the growing process within controlled environments.

AdeptAg’s extensive network includes a family of experienced companies Agrinomix, Zwart Irrigation, and Plantech Controls which will collectively contribute their expertise to support the implementation of FGM’s systems.

These companies bring decades of industry knowledge in irrigation, water treatment, seeding, propagation, transplanting, harvesting equipment, UL/CSA electrical designs and installations, as well as controls for semi- and fully automated solutions.

Their combined experience is set to provide a comprehensive support structure for growers, ensuring that the technology is integrated seamlessly and maintained effectively over its lifecycle.

The partnership is not only about delivering state-of-the-art growing systems but also about ensuring unparalleled service throughout the product’s use.

“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. 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.”

David Steines, AdeptAg’s CEO

This statement underscores the company’s commitment to delivering not only advanced technology but also the local expertise required to support it effectively over time.

“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.”

Jeff Warschauer, FGM’s Director of Business Development

The mutual recognition of each company’s strengths forms the foundation for a robust partnership that promises to redefine service standards and technological support in the horticultural sector.

The strategic alliance comes at a time when growers are increasingly challenged by the demands of modern agricultural practices.

With the rise in controlled environment agriculture, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions that not only improve production efficiency but also ensure sustainability and ease of maintenance.

AdeptAg’s role as the exclusive distributor in North America will bridge a critical gap by offering growers immediate access to FGM’s innovative systems, backed by a domestic service team that can promptly address any issues and support long-term operation.

This local presence is expected to set a new benchmark in the industry, where previous reliance on overseas support had often led to delays and increased downtime for growers.

Furthermore, the collaboration is anticipated to foster further innovation in the sector, encouraging the development of more advanced horticultural technologies that address the evolving needs of modern growers.

With a proven track record of excellence and a reputation built over decades, AdeptAg is well positioned to lead this transformative shift in the market.
