Leafy greens growers in North America operate in complex environments where production, harvest, and post-harvest processes must be closely aligned. Small inefficiencies can quickly impact yield, quality, and profitability. To help address these challenges, Viemose DGS and Foray Enterprises Inc. have formed a strategic partnership to provide growers with more coordinated, on-the-ground support across their operations.
By combining Viemose DGS's knowledge in moving gutter systems with Foray's experience in post-harvest automation and systems integration, the two companies aim to help growers run more efficient, reliable, and streamlined operations.
Combining proven experience
The partnership builds on the North American track records of both organizations. Viemose DGS has delivered numerous moving gutter system projects across the continent, with several additional installations currently underway. This hands-on experience has given the company deep insight into the operational realities of commercial leafy greens production and how production systems can be optimized for efficiency and reliability.
Foray Enterprises, while new in name, is led by the team of Viscon Group NA Ltd. The team brings many years of experience delivering large-scale automation projects, including leafy greens production and post-harvest facilities. Their local presence, practical project knowledge, and strong industry networks complement Viemose DGS's production system expertise.

Local support for growers
As part of the partnership, Foray Enterprises will represent Viemose DGS in North America, providing local sales support, installation management, technical advisory services, and ongoing after-sales service. Together, the companies will offer growers a more connected approach by aligning production systems and post-harvest automation, reducing coordination challenges and improving overall operational flow.
"Although Foray is a new company, the team behind it has been active in North America for many years," says 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."
"We see this partnership as a win for growers," adds Floris Berghout, CEO of Viemose DGS. "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."
