BOIS DE FRANCE

What BOIS DE FRANCE does

Bois de France is a French specialty wood supplier and fabricator headquartered in Martignargues, Gard (1600 route de Vézénobres, 30360), operating as a SARL with €12,000 of share capital and led by Roselyne Denijs. Founded in 1985, the company sources exclusively 100% French wood from sustainably managed forests and stocks approximately 30 native species across hardwoods (oak, chestnut, beech, walnut, ash, olive, cherry, maple, plane, linden, among others) and softwoods (Douglas, spruce, larch, cedar, cypress, maritime pine, Scotch pine). Beyond raw lumber, it sells panel products (3-ply, OSB, plywood, melamine, MDF, Agepan), structural timber, outdoor products (decking, cladding, garden sheds, pool enclosures, carports, pergolas, tables, benches, fences), and indoor products (parquet, stairs, paneling, shelving, libraries, worktops, bathroom panels, skirting), supported by hardware and wood-maintenance lines from partners Rubio Monocoat and Blanchon.

Two proprietary processes differentiate the catalog: a 100% natural thermo-treatment process applied to French pine and ash that achieves Class 4 durability, and a "parquet bois debout" (standing wood parquet) production method described as unique in Europe. The company maintains a 15,000+ m² storage and showroom facility and runs an e-commerce boutique with 82 listed products.

Revenue mechanics are a combination of one-time wood product sales (per unit, priced by species, quality, and dimensions) and project-based custom fabrication plus installation services (terrace installation from €39/m², guardrails from €55/m², structure from €45/m², pergolas from €500, tables and benches from €150). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with a horizontal segmentation strategy, split between a primary professional segment (carpenters, contractors, craftsmen) and a secondary individual homeowner segment running DIY and home improvement projects. Operations are domestic to France with no disclosed international footprint.

Direct peers

• Panaget: French solid wood parquet manufacturer offering oak and other French-species flooring with custom profiles and finishes. Comparable as a specialty French-wood flooring producer serving projects where provenance and customization matter.
• Lapeyre: French home improvement retailer historically focused on wood products (windows, doors, staircases, flooring, decking), with custom fabrication and installation services. Most directly comparable incumbent in terms of wood-centric retail plus service model.

Broad incumbents

• Mr. Bricolage: French cooperative of independent DIY and home improvement stores selling lumber, panels, and outdoor wood products. Comparable retail format to Bois de France for individual homeowner customers, though with mass-market rather than French-species focus.
• Point.P: Saint-Gobain's French building materials distribution brand serving trade professionals and DIY consumers with lumber, panels, and structural wood. Overlaps with Bois de France's professional contractor segment but at much broader scale.
• BigMat: European cooperative of independent building materials merchants with significant French presence, supplying lumber, panels, and structural components to tradespeople. Comparable to Bois de France's professional buyer focus, but with a wider standardized product mix.
• Bricomarché: French rural-focused DIY chain (Les Mousquetaires group) selling lumber, decking, fencing, and outdoor structures. Competes with Bois de France for rural and peri-urban DIY and small-contractor customers across France.
• Leroy Merlin: France's largest home improvement and DIY retailer, stocking lumber, panels, decking, and basic wood products across hundreds of stores. While not specialized in French species or custom fabrication, it is the dominant benchmark for retail pricing and convenience in the same end markets.
• Castorama: Major French DIY retailer (Kingfisher group) selling lumber, panels, and outdoor wood products alongside a wide home-improvement assortment. Competes on price and convenience rather than French species depth or custom services.
• Gedimat: French cooperative network of building materials dealers supplying lumber and construction materials to professionals and individuals. Similar professional-buyer focus to Bois de France, though with standardized rather than specialty French-species assortment.

Regional players

• Tanguy Matériaux: Independent French building materials distributor focused on western France, supplying lumber and construction wood to professionals. Comparable trade-supply business model, though operating in a different geography than Bois de France's Gard base.
