What Pasquet Menuiseries does

Pasquet Menuiseries (legal entity ETS PASQUET PERE ET FILS, a French SAS with capital of EUR 1.79M) is a family-owned industrial manufacturer of exterior and interior joinery, founded in 1925 by Victor Pasquet and headquartered at 29 Boulevard des Saulniers in Argentre-du-Plessis, Brittany, where it operates a single integrated production site. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes windows, French doors, sliding doors, pocket (galandage) doors, entry doors, interior doors, roller and folding shutters, garage doors, and exterior screens across four materials: wood, mixed (wood/aluminium), aluminium, and PVC. Manufacturing combines artisanal know-how with industrial processes (woodworking, aluminium profile working, PVC extrusion and injection, glazing) and is organised under five branded material ranges: Lignal and Racine (wood), Auralu (mixed), Empreinte (aluminium), and Saison (PVC), plus the Variations Modulares configuration system. Certifications include NF, FSC, PEFC, CE marking, and the Produit en Bretagne regional label; technical entry doors in aluminium and wood are CE-certified for external emergency-exit blocks and tested to 1 million cycles per NF EN 12400. Headcount stands at approximately 500 employees company-wide.

Revenue is generated one-time, via quote-based sales of custom, made-to-measure products. Distribution is exclusively physical: a network of approximately 20 agency showrooms and partner locations across France, each with a dedicated exhibition room, supported by travelling commercial advisors for larger projects; no e-commerce storefront is offered. End customers include self-builders, homeowners undertaking new builds or renovations, and a parallel professional channel of installers, craftsmen, developers, architects, and specifiers served via a dedicated Espace Prescription and a HubShare-based pro access portal. Marketing is content-led (catalogue library, FDES environmental documentation, state-aid guidance pages such as MaPrimeRenov) and uses analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Matomo. Group reach is France-only, with no international operations disclosed.

The company is in its fourth generation of family leadership. In June 2024 Jean Panaget succeeded Marie-Helene Pasquet as General Director after more than ten years in the business, and in 2025 Arnaud Hubert was appointed Industrial General Director across all production units, succeeding Vincent Pasquet.
