BFG also offers customer solutions to better manage supply chains using innovative technologies.

GMS, headquartered in Danville, IL, was founded in 1993 and has served customers for 28 years. The company has in-depth technical knowledge of greenhouse structures and operations developed over many years of experience in the industry. GMS ships across the U.S. from warehouses in Danville, IL, and Sacramento, CA, totaling more than 100,000 square feet.

“GMS is a great fit with BFG, as both companies share a customer-centric culture and strong commitment to the green industry. The GMS team has an excellent reputation and brings extensive greenhouse technical and operating experience to BFG. The combined companies will provide unmatched product selection and service to greenhouse customers,” says Dave Daily, President and CEO of BFG.

David George, President of GMS adds, “We are excited to partner with BFG and I am confident that this combination will provide long-term benefits not only for our vendors and customers but also for our great team of loyal employees.
