Griffin Greenhouse Supplies Assumes Control of 5 BFG Supply Facilities
Griffin Greenhouse Supplies has completed the acquisition of assets associated with BFG Supply and assumed immediate operational control of the five facilities in:
- Grand Rapids, MI
- Kalamazoo, MI
- St. Paul, MN
- Denver, CO
- Fife, WA.
The transaction expands Griffin’s distribution footprint and enhances its ability to provide products and services to wholesale growers, retailers, and more customers across key horticultural markets. Included in the transaction, Griffin has acquired inventory, assets, receivables, intellectual property, and the five operating locations, providing the foundation to continue serving customers with many of the same products, capabilities, and resources they have come to rely on.
The five facilities will now become part of Griffin’s existing nationwide distribution network. Over the past three months, Griffin has developed detailed integration plans, evaluated operational scenarios, and prepared for the transition. With the transaction now complete, Griffin is moving into the execution phase, putting those plans into action and working through the integration of all locations, including systems, data, and operating procedures. Griffin is targeting Nov. 9, 2026, for full cutover, with the goal of bringing the acquired facilities onto Griffin’s integrated operating platform and processes.
As part of the integration, Griffin plans to retain the teams currently operating the facilities. Their product knowledge, customer relationships, and familiarity with the day-to-day nuances of each location will provide a strong foundation as Griffin moves forward.
“Our focus now is on integrating these facilities effectively and connecting them with Griffin’s existing network, products, and service capabilities,” says Andrew Barry, a Managing Director at Griffin Greenhouse Supplies. “We have developed a clear roadmap for bringing our systems, data, and procedures together, and we are confident in our ability to execute that plan. Our target is to complete the full cutover by November 9, and we are focused on managing the transition carefully while maintaining continuity for our customers. We value the people who know these facilities and their customers best. Their firsthand knowledge will be instrumental as we bring these operations and team members into the Griffin family.”
As with any integration of this size, Griffin recognizes there will be complexities to work through as the teams bring the facilities and operations together. With plans in place, Griffin’s focus is on executing effectively and making the necessary investments to fully integrate the facilities and position them to serve customers heading into the 2027 season.
“We’re excited about what these facilities and teams add to Griffin and the opportunities ahead,” says Barry.
