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.
