Fibois Pays de la Loire

What Fibois Pays de la Loire does

Fibois Pays de la Loire is a non-profit professional association (association loi 1901), founded in 1990 and headquartered in Nantes, France, that serves as the regional interprofessional organization for the entire forest-wood value chain in Pays de la Loire. Its membership of more than 500 organizations spans forest owners, sawyers, carpenters, wood constructors, packaging manufacturers, furniture makers, architects, engineering firms, local authorities, and training organizations. The association is supported institutionally and financially by the Région Pays de la Loire and the French State, and is a member of the national Fibois France federation alongside France Bois Forêt.

The organization's service portfolio is centered on network animation rather than technology products. Core offerings include the Bâtiment B ecodesigned showcase building in Nantes (which co-houses ONF, FCBA, Néosylva, PEFC, FNB, and Bois de France), the monthly PARLONS BOIS networking breakfasts, bi-monthly PNDB construction site visits, the ÉMULATION CONSTRUCTIVE innovation encounters, the annual Prix Régional de la Construction Bois awards (11th edition in 2025), and specialized training modules (BE, BC, 2CBBC). It also operates an online member directory (Annuaire des pros) with more than 500 entries and a digital resource center (Boîte à outils).

Revenue is generated through annual membership fees, event and training fees, and venue rentals at Bâtiment B, supplemented by public subsidies from regional and state government. The association previously operated under the name Atlanbois before rebranding to align with the national Fibois identity. Headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, consistent with a lean interprofessional secretariat focused on coordination, communication, and event execution rather than large-scale operational delivery.
