Daniel Bories

What Daniel Bories does

Daniel Bories SAS is a French artisan menuiserie (joinery) firm founded in 1974, headquartered in Fabrègues near Montpellier and operating a 200 m² retail showroom in Mauguio under the "Maisons de Lumière by Technal" brand. The company designs, fabricates, and installs custom-made aluminum, PVC, and wood fenestration products — including windows, sliding doors (LUMEAL), bi-fold doors (AMBIAL), entrance doors, verandas (JADE, TOURMALINE), bioclimatic pergolas (SUNEAL), swing and sliding shutters (NOTEAL), Bubendorff roller shutters, aluminum gates, and Gypse guard-rails — out of a 1,000 m² in-house workshop. As a long-standing Aluminier Agréé Technal (Technal-approved craftsman), the company leverages Technal's proprietary aluminum systems, 200+ color palette, and certifications (ISO 9001, Qualicoat, Qualanod, Qualamarine, Cekal, NF fermetures) and complements them with partner-supplied shading (Harol) and door-panel (VOLMA) offerings.

The business serves individual homeowners undertaking new builds or energy-renovation projects (the latter eligible for MaPrimeRénov subsidies) and architects/design professionals specifying aluminum fenestration for residential projects across the Hérault and Gard departments. GTM is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via the website's online quote request form and the Mauguio showroom, combined with project-based field sales to architects and master builders. Revenue mechanics are one-time project sales priced on a custom quote basis (no public price list), with installation services bundled into the offering. Two named showcase customers — Agence Brengues Le Pavec (Maison CML, Maison CTN — Prix Agrandir Technal 2019) and Atelier Pascual Architecte (Villa L) — illustrate the architect-channel projects the company pursues.

Daniel Bories is structured as a privately held SAS with no disclosed parent, investors, or M&A activity, and operates within a 11–50 employee band. The company's competitive positioning rests on 50+ years of in-house French craftsmanship, Technal network membership, regional brand presence in Montpellier, and a bundled product portfolio spanning fenestration, shutters, shading, and outdoor-living structures.
