Engineering and turnkey projects
Agricultural and industrial engineering to pharmaceutical standards
We design, license, build and certify demanding agricultural and agro-industrial facilities. The GACP/GMP methodology we use to design medical cannabis plants is the same one we apply to a substrate factory, a recycling plant or a processing building.
A single point of contact
From the feasibility study to commissioning, with no hand-offs between suppliers.
GACP/GMP quality
Documentation, traceability and validation from the very first drawing.
Certified projects
Facilities for the pharmaceutical industry, delivered with every certificate they need.
Funding
We help you structure the project for public grants and investors.
Engineering for projects with no margin for error
Medical cannabis facilities are among the most demanding in agriculture: controlled climate, full traceability, cleanrooms and audits by health authorities. Agropharm was founded to deliver them, which is why we work to pharmaceutical quality standards (GACP and GMP) from the design stage onwards.
The same method works for any agricultural or agro-industrial project whose success depends on getting the engineering right: a substrate plant, a recycling plant, a propagation nursery, an industrial hemp processing facility or a water and waste treatment system.
We coordinate process engineering, architecture and building services, permitting, procurement, construction and commissioning with our own team and a stable network of partner engineering firms and manufacturers.
How we deliver a turnkey project
Each phase ends with a deliverable that the client signs off before moving on to the next.

Frequently asked questions
What does a turnkey project mean?
It means Agropharm takes on the whole project under a single contract with a single point of contact: engineering, licensing, procurement, construction and commissioning. The client receives a working, fully documented facility, ready to produce or to be certified.
Do you only work with cannabis?
No. Medical cannabis is our speciality and requires us to work to pharmaceutical standards, but we apply the same engineering to industrial hemp, horticulture and propagation, substrates, recycling, the circular economy, and water and waste.
Can you take on just one phase?
Yes. We can carry out only the feasibility study, the technical design, the permitting, the site management or the audit of an existing facility.
Which countries do you work in?
We are based in Spain and have completed projects in Portugal. We work throughout Europe and assess projects in other markets.
