As the French market leader, the THEBAULT Group is leveraging its expertise in veneer peeling and its position as France’s leading plywood manufacturer to establish the first LVL plant in France and Western Europe.
Plywood and LVL are materials made from wood veneers, known as plies, obtained by peeling logs. The group processes four types of wood in its French factories: okoumé, poplar, maritime pine, and silver fir. The plies are then glued together crosswise to make strong, technical plywood panels, or parallel to each other to make LVL, large panels, and beams.
Wood engineering products used in many sectors

The THEBAULT group markets plywood manufactured in France from Maritime Pine, Poplar and Okoume veneers. The by-products of the production process are recycled, which ensures a material profitability rate close to 95% for the industrial process.
LVL is assembled from silver fir (Abies Alba) veneers and is mainly intended for the construction market in France and internationally.
Related products derived from production are valorized, ensuring a material recovery rate of close to 95% in the industrial process.
