Ducommun Menuisiers SA

What Ducommun Menuisiers SA does

Ducommun Menuisiers SA (legal name: Menuiserie Ducommun SA) is a fourth-generation family-owned carpentry firm founded in 1953 in Lausanne and headquartered, since 2025, in Le Mont-sur-Lausanne, Canton of Vaud, Switzerland. The company operates an integrated workshop combining conventional woodworking machines inherited from traditional know-how with modern equipment, supported by 2D/3D technical-drawing and visualization capabilities, and employs its own installation teams for end-to-end project control.

The firm runs six service lines: custom fittings and architectural elements (agencements et éléments sur mesure), cultural heritage restoration (patrimoine culturel bâti), carpentry renovation (rénovation de menuiserie), building maintenance (entretien des immeubles), electronic access-control systems using Glutz eAccess badge readers, and AEAI-certified Ei30 fire-rated doors (portes coupe-feu). Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven professional services and hardware installation, with multi-year maintenance relationships providing recurring work. The team comprises approximately 32 collaborators, including 2 federal certifications and 3 advanced diplomas leading 20 CFC carpenters.

Customers span enterprise property-management companies (régies immobilières), mid-market condominium associations (PPE), architects such as Ferrari Architectes, public institutions, and individual homeowners across the Canton of Vaud and, increasingly, Romandy. GTM is hybrid direct-to-consumer and sales-led B2B, delivered through the company website, dedicated intervention-request forms, Instagram, and newsletter channels, with the same assigned carpenter retained across each project as a deliberate continuity differentiator. The company is privately held, has no external funding, and is led by Michel, Gérald and Luc Ducommun alongside administrator David Ponsolle.
