Fibois Centre-Val de Loire

What Fibois Centre-Val de Loire does

Fibois Centre-Val de Loire is a French regional interprofessional association (interprofession) founded in 1987, representing the entire forest-wood value chain in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Headquartered in Orléans with a workforce of 9, the organization acts as the recognized coordination body between five distinct subsectors: forest owners and forestry operators, wood transformation (sawmills and processors), wood construction and bio-sourced materials, wood energy producers, and training/education institutions. Its services include a member directory of over 500 sector companies, certification and regulatory support, subsidies and funding access, training programs (notably the Concepteur Construction Bois Bas Carbone certification launching March–September 2026), industry events such as the Prix Régional de la Construction Bois, and community initiatives like the Pacte Bois-Biosourc\u00e9s.

The organization's underlying technology stack is non-existent in the conventional sense — it is a coordination and services body, not a software company. Its digital footprint consists of a website (fibois-cvl.fr), a newsletter, social media channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube/ARBOCENTRE), and the joint RESOBOIS platform developed in partnership with BOIS DE FRANCE for sector data sharing. Active R&D projects include Noir & Sens, Sycomore, and OPTMix, focused on wood-process innovation rather than software or AI.

Fibois CVL generates revenue primarily through recurring membership fees from companies across the forest-wood supply chain, supplemented by institutional funding from Région Centre-Val de Loire, EU regional programs, ADEME (ecological transition), DRAAF (agriculture and forestry), and France Bois Forêt. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization is part of the Fibois France national federation and operates under the legal presidency of Francis LHEUREUX. A new physical hub — the Maison du Bois et des Biosourcés in Tours — was inaugurated on 2025-09-30. The organization does not disclose specific financial metrics, and operates as a non-profit association rather than a commercial entity.
