Hydrofarm\u2019s Innovative Growers Equipment (\u201cIGE\u201d) commercial division will serve as the North American manufacturing and marketing hub for Growtainers\u00ae and Growracks\u00ae. IGE\u2019s Sycamore, Illinois facility combines manufacturing, research and development, and warehouse space serving the global market.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited about our relationship with Glenn Behrman and CEA Advisors. It will bring great enhancements to the creative solutions and support we provide to the CEA market,\u201d said Chris Mayer, SVP and Head of Hydrofarm Commercial. \u201cOur priority is to be one of the most important global providers of CEA products and services. We believe that the CEA industry has tremendous potential, and we are very excited to have a 50-year veteran of the global horticulture industry on our team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with the Hydrofarm team, IGE, and Chris Mayer is a dream come true for a company like CEA Advisors,\u201d said Glenn. \u201cI\u2019m convinced that collaboration is the key to success in today\u2019s challenging economic environment. We strongly believe that in CEA, there is great opportunity for new farmers globally, and that is why our first initiative will be the design and distribution of an affordable entry level Growtainer\u00ae. The beginning CEA farmer can learn and experience this type of production with minimal investment and then move on to other more sophisticated systems that are available.\u201d<\/p>\n
