NEW YORK, NY, June 01, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- RMJ Supply (“RMJ” or “Company”), a solutions-focused distributor of horticultural equipment and supplies providing a single source solution for the CEA industry, announced today that it has entered into a partnership with Patterson Pope, a leading provider of space optimization and storage systems, to offer the Spacesaver vertical racking product line to controlled environment agriculture (CEA) customers nationwide. This agreement comes as RMJ continues to build out its extensive network of product providers, further enabling it to bring its customers the best solutions at the best prices, with expedited lead times given the Company’s buying power.
Effective immediately, RMJ offers access to Spacesaver’s innovative vertical growing solutions, including both the mobile and stationary vertical racking systems. Spacesaver’s leading solution has been met with great enthusiasm throughout the CEA industry and allows for multiple levels of growing area, maximizes space, reduces energy use, and improves efficiency in plant cultivation. The systems are comprised of three main components: vertical racking constructed from heavy-duty steel and can be installed either stationary or on the Spacesaver mobile system; the carriages which house patented mechanisms that allow staff to safely move thousands of pounds with minimal effort; and rails which guide the carriages, creating a safe and easy path for movement around the grow facility. Additionally, Spacesaver and RMJ offer a harvest and drying rack solution that works seamlessly with the vertical grow solution, providing an overall efficient system for growing, harvesting, and transporting with fewer steps, translating to safer and cleaner operations.
