REP PMCB: Valobat increases its capital with the entry of Le Commerce du Bois (LCB)

LCB has embodied, for more than twenty years, the guarantee of making the voice of these players clearly heard within the French forest-wood sector, the public authorities and the market more broadly. LCB members share strong quality commitments in terms of product offering, service policy and customer advice.

LCB accompanies them in particular on the aspects of purchasing and responsible sale of wood, CSR, market monitoring, training of sales representatives and even the promotion of wood materials.

This new shareholder confirms Valobat's desire to be the benchmark player for wood products and to have great ambitions for this material with its many advantages. Following the example of its shared commitments with the Union des Industriels et Constructeurs Bois (UICB) and the Fédération Nationale du Bois (FNB), the eco-organization will support LCB members in the changes brought about by the application of PMCB REP.

Crossed looks

“Welcoming Le Commerce du Bois in the wake of our shareholders is a source of pride for Valobat. It is collectively that we will succeed in promoting the recycling and recovery of wood, but also in encouraging its reuse and re-use. We can go further, together, to build eco-design criteria adapted to the wood sector. The first step being today for the players in the wood sector to join. ". Hervé de Maistre, President of Valobat

“By joining Valobat's shareholding, Le Commerce du Bois will carry the voice of marketers and especially wood-panel importers as well as planing manufacturers. We will be particularly active within the wood sector committee, the body in which decisions will be made relating to the definition of the sector strategy for the collection and recovery of wood. Many subjects will be dealt with over the coming months, including the choice of recycling channels, price changes and even eco-modulation criteria. Faced with such challenges, we had to respond present and mobilize our network of members in order to support them and weigh collectively. ". Jean-Louis Camici, Chairman of LCB.
