Behind every piece of timber lies an entire supply chain. The origin of the material, its

harvesting and the successive stages of its processing all play a full part in its story

and its value. Scierie VUITTON is certified Bois de France, an initiative that highlights

the French origin of the timber and the fact that it is processed

locally, within France.

What does the Bois de France label mean?

The Bois de France label highlights timber that comes from French forests

and is processed in France in line with the requirements set by the label.

It gives greater visibility to the journey of the material and helps

professionals identify more clearly where the products they buy come from.

French hardwoods processed in the Jura

Based in the Jura, Scierie VUITTON works mainly with French hardwoods,

notably oak, beech and ash. Once they reach the sawmill, the

logs are selected, sawn and then put to the best use according to their characteristics

and our customers' needs. This processing relies on expertise

rooted in a deep knowledge of the material and in getting the most from every log.

Promoting a French industry and French expertise

Behind French timber stands a chain of professionals including

foresters, loggers, sawyers and processors. Promoting

this origin therefore also means promoting the skills found across our

region. From our sawmill in the Jura, our timber then continues its journey

to professionals in France and abroad, allowing a French material

to carry on its story well beyond our borders.
