In Vitro Excellence
With over 35 years of biotechnology expertise, IN VITRO SL leads Europe in plant micropropagation and sustainable forestry innovation.
Who We Are
35+ Years of In Vitro Plant Biotechnology
IN VITRO SL is a pioneering micropropagation laboratory headquartered in Spain, founded in 1986. With more than 35 years of experience in plant reproduction through advanced in vitro techniques, we are recognized both in Sant Feliu de llobreagt Barcelona Espana for our professionalism, innovation, and commitment to sustainable agriculture and forestry.
Since 2004, we have specialized in the large-scale production of Paulownia seedlings through micropropagation. Our own exclusive Paulownia Clon InVitro 112® (Hybrid between Paulownia elongata × Paulownia fortunei) is a non-GMO, extensively field-tested for over two decades globally. Selected for its fast growth, adaptability, and superior wood quality, this variety is trusted globally for reforestation, sustainable biomass production, and timber markets.
Our plants of paulownia clon invitro 112® are widely recognized for their strength, rapid growth, and perfectly cylindrical trunks, delivering premium-quality wood and contributing to sustainable forestry, carbon capture, and renewable energy solutions worldwide.
In addition to Paulownia, our laboratory propagates a diverse range of Rootstocks of fruit and ornamental trees. We also provide specialized cultivation techniques, high-efficiency multiplication services, and expert consulting for in vitro laboratory projects across Spain, Europe, and international markets.

In Vitro
Qualified Plant Micropropagation Laboratory
In 1990, by Ministerial Order of 19 June 1990 (published in the BOE on 11 July 1990), IN VITRO SL became the first laboratory in Spain to obtain the official SELECTOR certification. This recognition authorizes us to produce certified, virus-free plants under strict quality standards.
Our work is monitored and approved by the Department of Agriculture of the Generalitat de Catalunya, ensuring compliance with Spanish and European regulations. With our modern laboratory and greenhouses, we are capable of producing over 2,000,000 plants per year for agriculture, forestry, and reforestation projects across thew world.
Our official nursery registration number is ES/09/08-0016, guaranteeing the traceability and reliability of every plant we produce.
