IUNU Announces New Leadership Roles in Europe

IUNU, a company specializing in machine vision and AI for greenhouse operations, has expanded its European team with two new appointments. Gerard Flinterman, a former grower, has been named Director of European Sales and will be based in The Westland. Huub Franssen takes on the role of Enterprise Account Executive, operating from Warsaw to cover Central Europe.

Their expertise and deep industry relationships will help us strengthen our partnerships and deliver even greater value to growers across the region.”

This expansion signals IUNU’s continued investment in the European greenhouse sector, with a focus on combining technology and local expertise to support long-term operational success.
