Greenhouse Technology Distributor Boosts Structures, Lighting Offerings
BFG Supply, a Burton, OH-based greenhouse technology distributor for the horticulture and controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) industries, has had a busy month. It started when it acquired DeCloet Greenhouse Manufacturing, a manufacturer of greenhouse structures and related components.
“DeCloet’s strong reputation for quality is a great fit with BFG’s strategy to be the premier supplier for greenhouse solutions in the horticulture and CEA markets,” says Dave Daily, President, and CEO of BFG. “DeCloet greenhouses have a reputation for quality and proven performance, from strength and durability to withstand harsh climates to innovative methods to improve ventilation and produce premium crops.”
DeCloet, headquartered in Simcoe, ON, ships greenhouse structures to growers throughout the U.S. and Canada.
“The purchase of DeCloet by BFG recognizes their commitment to, and their positive belief in, the growing greenhouse industry across North America,” says Ben DeCloet, Founder and President of DeCloet. “I am leaving the company and its employees in good hands and am excited for the future opportunities BFG will bring to DeCloet.”
New Fluence Partnership
BFG also announced a partnership with Fluence by OSRAM that will add to BFG’s lighting component offerings, while allowing Fluence to expand its market coverage to include growers of all crops and sizes.
“Fluence is the LED lighting provider for cultivators growing a multitude of crops,” Daily says. “The company’s proven LED technology has enabled commercial facilities and home hobbyists throughout the U.S. to successfully achieve their cultivation goals, and we’re pleased to offer our retail customers and the larger green industry the most innovative lighting technology for their facilities.”
Fluence’s LED technology will join and augment BFG’s diverse portfolio of cultivation solutions. Fluence’s full product line will be available to BFG customers, providing hydro shops, garden supply centers, and commercial growers throughout the country with highly efficient, broad-spectrum LED solutions for their indoor and greenhouse environments.
“The BFG team has a long, storied history in the U.S,” says David Cohen, CEO of Fluence. “We’re thrilled to partner with BFG to bring Fluence’s technology closer to more growers through BFG’s modern distribution facilities and skilled customer success team. Our collaboration enables BFG to meet and exceed cultivator demands by delivering advanced lighting solutions to growers throughout the country.”
