J. Huete International

What J. Huete International does

J. Huete International (legal entity J.HUETE GREENHOUSES, S.L.) is a privately held, family-owned Spanish engineering and construction firm founded in 1994 and headquartered in Alcantarilla, Murcia. The company designs, engineers, manufactures, and commissions high-technology greenhouses for agricultural producers, seed companies, berry growers, ornamental plant nurseries, and licensed medical cannabis cultivators across more than 35 countries and four continents. Its product portfolio centers on turnkey greenhouse solutions in multiple configurations — Venlo glasshouses for cold climates, Gothic multi-tunnel plastic structures, the Opticlima semi-closed greenhouse for hot/dry climates and cannabis, and the Berryfesta gothic macro tunnel for strawberry production — supported by an integrated equipment ecosystem covering heating, cooling, ventilation, climate-control software, irrigation and water treatment (including reverse osmosis and desalination), screens, lighting, dehumidification, buffer-tank thermal storage, and a recently added AI-driven automation layer.

The company's revenue model is project-based enterprise sales: each greenhouse is custom-designed to client site, climate, and crop requirements, with revenue recognized as one-time turnkey project delivery, hardware sales of proprietary equipment (e.g., the patented hydroponic gutter-with-spacers system), and ancillary agricultural consulting and advisory services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise field sales with technical consultation, supported by industry trade-show presence (Fruit Attraction, Greentech Amsterdam), content marketing through case studies, and a multi-language digital footprint spanning EN, FR, ES, MX, and RU websites.

J. Huete serves a diversified enterprise customer roster including seed-industry majors (Syngenta, Rijk Zwaan, Enza Zaden, Corteva, Takii Europe, HM Clause, Dummen Orange), produce and berry operators (Bonnysa, Driscoll's, Planasa, BioSabor, Featherbed), ornamental plant nurseries (Planta Livre), and licensed medical cannabis producers (a Portugal facility identified as one of Europe's largest). The company operates a 12,000 m2 manufacturing facility in Murcia, maintains regional subsidiaries in Mexico and the CIS region, holds registered patents on its hydroponic gutter system and proprietary mesh-fixing profiles, and benefits from a 2025/2026 strategic partnership with Repsol to bundle preferential energy pricing into client offerings. Headcount sits in the 11-50 range and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
