Most greenhouse suppliers disappear after installation, leaving you to handle problems alone. After 29 years building CFGET, I’ve seen too many growers struggle with failed equipment and no support.
CFGET’s lifetime partnership model provides ongoing technical support, maintenance services, and system upgrades for the entire operational life of your greenhouse. This comprehensive approach reduces total ownership costs by 35-50% compared to traditional purchase models.
The greenhouse industry has a dirty secret. Most companies focus on selling equipment, not supporting long-term success. They compete on price, deliver basic systems, then move on to the next customer. This approach leaves growers vulnerable when problems arise.
I founded CFGET with a different vision. We don’t just sell greenhouses – we become your permanent partner in agricultural success. This partnership model has sustained our growth across 20+ countries for nearly three decades.
Our Core Philosophy: "One Purchase, A Lifetime of Support"?
Traditional equipment purchases create ongoing headaches. Systems break down, technology becomes outdated, and finding qualified service becomes impossible. Our philosophy eliminates these problems completely.
"One Purchase, A Lifetime of Support" means CFGET provides continuous technical assistance, preventive maintenance, system upgrades, and emergency support throughout your greenhouse’s operational life. This comprehensive coverage ensures maximum uptime and optimal performance year after year.
This philosophy emerged from my early experiences in the industry. I watched successful growers struggle with equipment failures during critical growing periods. A climate control malfunction during propagation can destroy months of work in hours. These disasters happen when you lack reliable technical support.
Our lifetime support model addresses every aspect of greenhouse ownership. Technical support helps optimize system performance for your specific crops and growing conditions. Our engineers understand that tomatoes require different environmental controls than lettuce or flowers.
Preventive maintenance programs identify potential problems before they cause system failures. Regular inspections, component testing, and performance monitoring prevent the catastrophic breakdowns that destroy crops and profits. This proactive approach saves money while protecting your investment.
System upgrades keep your facility competitive as technology advances. The greenhouse industry evolves rapidly, with new sensors, controllers, and automation systems appearing regularly. Our upgrade programs incorporate these improvements without requiring complete system replacement.
Emergency support provides immediate assistance when problems occur. Equipment failures don’t follow business hours, and crop damage accumulates quickly. Our emergency response teams understand the urgency and respond accordingly.
Training programs ensure your staff can operate and maintain systems effectively. Well-trained operators prevent many common problems while optimizing system performance. This training continues throughout your facility’s operational life as staff changes and technology evolves.
Support Component | Service Frequency | Direct Benefits |
---|---|---|
Technical Consultation | Ongoing as needed | Optimized performance |
Preventive Maintenance | Quarterly inspections | Reduced downtime |
System Upgrades | Annual technology reviews | Maintained competitiveness |
Emergency Response | 24/7 availability | Crop protection |
Staff Training | Annual refresher programs | Improved operations |
Protecting Your Investment: How Lifetime Service Lowers Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)?
Most buyers focus on initial purchase price, ignoring the lifetime costs that determine real profitability. Maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and downtime create expenses that often exceed the original investment.
CFGET’s lifetime service model reduces total cost of ownership by 35-50% through preventive maintenance, bulk purchasing power for replacement parts, and systematic upgrades that extend facility life. This approach transforms greenhouse ownership from expense management to profit optimization.
Total cost of ownership includes all expenses associated with greenhouse operation over its useful life. Initial purchase price represents only 30-40% of these costs. The remaining 60-70% comes from maintenance, repairs, energy consumption, and lost production during downtime.
Traditional ownership models leave you responsible for all these ongoing costs. Finding qualified technicians becomes difficult and expensive. Replacement parts cost premium prices when purchased individually. System upgrades require complete replacements rather than incremental improvements.
Our lifetime service model addresses each cost component systematically. Preventive maintenance reduces repair frequency and extends component life. Regular inspections identify wear patterns and schedule replacements during convenient periods rather than emergency situations.
Bulk purchasing power reduces parts costs significantly. CFGET maintains inventory for all systems we’ve installed, allowing immediate availability at wholesale prices. This inventory management eliminates the premium pricing and delays associated with emergency parts procurement.
Systematic upgrades extend facility life while maintaining competitiveness. Rather than replacing entire systems, we upgrade components incrementally as technology improves. This approach spreads costs over time while ensuring your facility remains state-of-the-art.
Energy optimization programs reduce operational costs throughout your facility’s life. Our engineers continuously monitor system performance and recommend improvements that reduce energy consumption. These optimizations often pay for themselves within one growing season.
Downtime elimination provides the largest cost savings. Equipment failures during critical periods can destroy entire crops, creating losses that exceed annual profits. Our preventive maintenance and emergency response programs minimize these risks.
The financial impact becomes clear when comparing 10-year ownership costs. Traditional ownership typically costs 180-200% of initial purchase price. Our lifetime service model reduces this to 130-150%, creating substantial savings while improving reliability.
Cost Component | Traditional Model | CFGET Lifetime Service | Savings |
---|---|---|---|
Initial Purchase | 100% | 100% | 0% |
Maintenance/Repairs | 60-80% | 20-30% | 40-50% |
Parts/Upgrades | 40-60% | 15-25% | 25-35% |
Downtime Losses | 20-40% | 5-10% | 15-30% |
Total 10-Year Cost | 220-280% | 140-165% | 35-50% |
A Partner in Progress: Our Unwavering Commitment to Government & International Projects?
