Viemose DGS Expands North American Reach Through Foray Partnership
Viemose DGS has announced a strategic partnership with Foray Enterprises Inc. to deliver integrated production and post-harvest automation solutions for leafy greens growers across North America. The collaboration brings together Viemose DGS’s moving gutter system technology with Foray’s experience in post-harvest automation and systems integration.
The partnership is positioned to address the growing operational complexity faced by commercial leafy greens producers, where misalignment between production, harvest, and post-harvest processes can impact yield, quality, and profitability. By aligning these systems more closely, the two companies aim to provide growers with a more streamlined and coordinated operational approach.
Combining Production and Post-Harvest Expertise
Viemose DGS has delivered multiple moving gutter system installations across North America and currently has additional projects underway. According to the companies, this experience has provided detailed insight into how production systems can be optimized for efficiency and reliability in commercial-scale leafy greens operations.
Foray Enterprises, while newly established as a standalone company, is led by the management team of Viscon Group NA Ltd. The team brings extensive experience delivering large-scale automation projects, including leafy greens production facilities and post-harvest processing lines. The partnership leverages Foray’s local presence and project execution capabilities alongside Viemose DGS’s production system expertise.
Viemose DGS Partnership Focuses on Local Support and System Integration
As part of the agreement, Foray Enterprises will represent Viemose DGS in North America, providing local sales representation, installation management, technical advisory services, and ongoing after-sales support. The companies stated that this structure is designed to reduce coordination challenges for growers by offering more integrated project delivery across production and post-harvest stages.
“Although Foray is a new company, the team behind it has been active in North America for many years,” said Albert Pinto of Foray Enterprises. “We see Viemose DGS’s moving gutter system as a strong complement to our post-harvest automation solutions, enabling growers to improve efficiency while simplifying how different parts of the operation work together”.
Floris Berghout, CEO of Viemose DGS, said the collaboration is intended to provide growers with more complete solutions and stronger operational support. “By combining our moving gutter technology with Foray’s local expertise and post-harvest know-how, we can offer a more complete solution and stronger support across the entire production process,” Berghout said.
Addressing Operational Pressures in Leafy Greens Production
The companies noted that North American leafy greens producers continue to face rising labor costs and increasing operational complexity as production scales. Viemose DGS and Foray Enterprises view the partnership as a practical response to these pressures, offering integrated automation solutions designed to remain manageable in day-to-day operations while supporting return on investment.
