Since 2010, Pinova has been developing and manufacturing agrometeorological stations and sensors for precision agriculture. Today, more than 750 of our systems are installed in Croatia and the region, and over a thousand users rely on their data every day, from the largest agricultural and food companies to family farms.
Pinova Meteo systems are used by leading Croatian food and wine producers, including Podravka, Belje, Badel 1862, Kutjevo, Đakovačka vina, Vupik and Blato 1902. These companies manage large areas of orchards, vineyards and field crops, and reliable, accurate field data is the basis for their decisions on crop protection, irrigation and harvest. Their choice is the best confirmation for us that they have recognised the quality of our equipment and the speed of our support.
The same trust has come from a number of specialised companies: fruit growers, winemakers and berry producers such as Fragaria, Moslavina Voće, Agrobiotest, Novi Agrar, Rabo, Voćnjak Čehovec and Voćnjak Nedelišće, as well as wineries such as Saints Hills, Testament, Vina Matošević, Vina Kozlović and others. For them, Pinova is not just a station on a pole, but a partner that helps all the way from installation to interpreting the data.
The largest group of our users are family farms: more than two hundred of them across Croatia, from Međimurje and Podravina to Istria, Dalmatia and Slavonia. They know best how valuable a timely warning of frost, disease or drought is, and how important it is that, when needed, they can reach someone who knows both the equipment and their crops.

Pinova is also a long-standing partner of the scientific community. Universities, colleges and institutes use our stations in research, experimental fields and teaching, where the highest accuracy and continuity of measurement are required. Public institutions and local governments, such as HAPIH, Zadar County and RERA Split, rely on Pinova networks to monitor conditions across entire regions and to advise growers.
We also bring our experience beyond Croatia: our largest single project to date was carried out in the Central Bosnia Canton, and our systems are also operating in Montenegro, Serbia, Romania, Slovenia and Kenya.
What all our users have in common, regardless of size, is what they expect from us: equipment that works reliably for years, data they can trust, and support that is always available. We thank them for their trust, and invite you to join them.
