FIBOIS Landes de Gascogne

What FIBOIS Landes de Gascogne does

FIBOIS Landes de Gascogne is a French interprofessional association (association déclarée under French law) founded in 2019 to represent and coordinate the forest-wood sector of the Landes de Gascogne massif, a cultivated forest spanning 1 million hectares in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The organization brings together 11 founding member bodies covering public and private forest owners, forestry cooperatives, wood processing companies, construction federations, and architectural professionals, effectively serving as the unified voice for a sector that generates thousands of direct jobs and billions of euros in annual business volume.

The association's core offerings are programs and digital tools rather than commercial products. These include the Prix Régional de la Construction Bois (PRCB) annual competition (78 project submissions and 1,705 public votes in 2025), the Action Bois d'Œuvre communication campaign promoting Maritime Pine construction wood, the Fiche Pin Maritime technical publication, the FORETDATA collaborative GIS platform, and the broader Digital Chain (Chaîne Numérique) project integrating technology partners (Dashdoc, SOGELINK, ACTRADIS, EDT SAS) for sector-wide data exchange. It also runs workforce development programs (Festival des Métiers du Bois), societal dialogue initiatives (Dialogue Filière Société with SEPANSO and Canopée), and pursues a UNESCO Man & Biosphere labeling project for the Landes massif.

The business model is membership-funded: the organization derives revenue from contributions by its founding member organizations and operates with 6 staff from a single office in Gradignan, France. Go-to-market is community-led through industry events (FOREXPO, Festival des Métiers du Bois), social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, X), educational content, and direct stakeholder engagement. It is led by President Bruno Lafon and governed by its founding organizations. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, consistent with its non-profit status and association déclarée legal form.
