Julien Gamerro joins the board of directors of Kebony, leader in sustainable wood

Kebony, an international leader in the manufacturing of sustainable modified wood, announces the arrival of Julien Gamerro to its Board of Directors. A trained engineer and graduate of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Julien Gamerro has extensive knowledge of the technical, industrial, and environmental issues related to wood and responsible construction.

Appointed last March, Julien Gamerro joins Kebony in a context of international expansion and anticipation of changes in the sector.

A career path dedicated to innovation and the wood industry

Julien Gamerro began his career with the Compagnons du Tour de France, before moving into applied research in wood engineering. His doctoral work at EPFL contributed to the standardization and digitalization of structural component manufacturing.

A committed entrepreneur, he then co-founded an engineering firm in Switzerland, specializing in complex, high-value wood projects. He also runs a project management company in France and has held sales positions in the wood construction sector.

A committed vision for Kebony

Regarding his commitment to the brand, Julien Gamerro says: “What convinced me was Kebony’s mission: to offer a high-performance alternative to tropical woods, while working to preserve the world’s forests. It’s an approach that combines positive environmental impact, technological innovation, and international growth—a rare and inspiring combination.”

Within the board, he intends to play an active role by providing an independent perspective, rooted in operational reality and guided by sustainability issues.

“The board acts as a strategic partner to management. My goal is to provide a clear vision and commitment to Kebony’s long-term development. I aim to support the brand’s direction decisions by drawing on my knowledge of the timber and construction industries, as well as an understanding of market expectations.”

A growth dynamic driven by innovation

As Kebony consolidates its positions in Europe and North America, the company is intensifying its efforts to expand its offering, forge new partnerships and meet the growing demand for sustainable materials.

For Julien Gamerro: "Kebony has all the leverage it needs to establish itself as a key player in major transitions in construction. Its exclusive technology, premium positioning, and product quality are real differentiators. Added to this is a strong brand, founded on sincere environmental values and increasingly recognized by specifiers—architects, designers, and developers. Kebony isn't just a materials supplier: it's a transformation partner for more sustainable architecture."
