Novafrut: pioneers in anti-hail netting and leaders in comprehensive crop protection

It all started in 2001, when talking about “anti-hail netting” in Spanish farming was still a rarity. At that time, Novafrut was one of the first companies in the country to specialise exclusively in installing nets to protect crops. And since then, we have never stopped innovating. Today, more than two decades later, Novafrut continues to lead the way in agricultural protection systems. With thousands of hectares protected in Spain, France, Portugal, Morocco and Mexico, we have become a technical and human benchmark in the fruit-growing sector.

2001: Novafrut is born. A new way of protecting the land is born

With fruit growing in full expansion, many growers were suffering heavy losses from hailstorms with no viable alternatives. Novafrut was born with a clear purpose: to design and install professional, durable structures adapted to each farm. We were among the first to introduce advanced technical solutions in the field, starting with land surveying applied to agriculture, and committing from the outset to certified materials and real structural design.

From wood to concrete: mixed structures as a natural evolution

During the early years, all structures were made of treated wood. But we were the first to introduce in Spain the combination of prestressed concrete posts for the interior and wood around the perimeter. The result? Installations that are more economical, just as solid, and need less maintenance. This approach has become the standard in most of the country's growing areas.

The Trampolín system: an innovation born in real fields

We were not content with copying what already existed. At Novafrut we developed our own Trampolín system, a direct evolution of the classic system with horizontal elastics, with:

• Better hail discharge
• Elastic that does not need replacing every 6-7 years
• Clear alleys for machinery
• Compatible with folding from the ground with a pole (Winterfix)

Today it is the most efficient system on the market, and it has been replicated by others… though never equalled.

From protecting against hail… to protecting against everything

Over time, Novafrut has gone from being “the anti-hail netting company” to becoming specialists in all kinds of agricultural protection:

• Anti-hail netting
• Insect netting for residue-free fruit
• Windbreak netting to prevent physical damage and moisture loss
• Anti-rain netting for cherries, plums, tomatoes or late apples
• Bird netting (also in the agri-food industry)
• Shade netting for agriculture, livestock farming and urban spaces
• Game fencing and perimeter fencing
• Combined protection and tailor-made solutions

In-house manufacturing, total control

In 2024, Novafrut went one step further: we became direct manufacturers of our own NovaNet® netting, produced in Spain to the highest quality standards. That means:

• Greater control over the quality of the yarn and the weave
• Better delivery times
• Flexibility in sizes, colours and finishes
• More competitive prices with no intermediaries
