Partnership Overview Between AdeptAg & FGM Moving Gutter Systems
AdeptAg, a North American provider of horticultural solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with FGM Moving Gutter Systems, a Danish company specializing in Moving Gutter Systems (MGS). This collaboration aims to bring advanced, labor-saving technology to North American growers while enhancing service and support capabilities in the region.
FGM’s MGS technology is widely recognized for optimizing space and improving plant growth efficiency. Designed for crops such as lettuce, herbs, and other leafy greens, the system provides a sustainable approach to greenhouse farming. AdeptAg’s role as the exclusive North American distributor will allow growers to access FGM’s innovative solutions with dedicated on-site support.
Industry Support and Service Capabilities
The partnership addresses a key challenge in the industry—many users of moving gutter systems in North America rely on remote technical support from European providers. AdeptAg’s network of experienced personnel will provide domestic service and maintenance, ensuring greater reliability for growers.
“North American leafy green, vegetable, and herb producers need dependable growing systems to remain competitive. Our partnership with FGM enables us to offer comprehensive solutions with long-term support throughout the technology’s lifecycle,” said David Stienes, CEO of AdeptAg.
“A more formal cooperation was the logical next step after years of collaboration with AdeptAg on North American projects. This partnership will provide growers with both advanced technologies and local service,” said Jeff Warschauer, Director of Business Development and Key Account Sales at FGM.

- Irrigation systems and water treatment

- Automation controls for semi- and fully automated systems
“After 40 years in the greenhouse industry, I trust that AdeptAg will continue delivering the high level of customer service that North American growers have come to expect,” added Warschauer.
By integrating FGM’s MGS technology with its existing horticultural solutions, AdeptAg aims to enhance efficiency, reduce labor costs, and improve overall crop production for greenhouse growers in North America.
