Entreprise Rousseau
About us
Founded in 1958 by Rémy Rousseau, the company originally specialised in the manufacture of vine stakes. From the 1980s onwards, after the second generation (Rémy’s four sons) took over, production diversified (trellising, fence posts, purchase of a sawmill, etc.) and mechanised, moving from small-scale to industrial production.

Forestry exploitation
Industrie Bois Rousseau owns a large forest that is managed on a long-term basis with a constant concern for profitability and the environment. It has its own equipment for the entire farm.
Mechanised with a machine specially adapted to our regions to cut and stack chestnut wood, which is not an easy task.
We also use our own resources, with very high-performance equipment for our profession and region, because we have very rugged terrain.
The wood is stored by the roadside so that semi-trailers can pick up the raw material and take it back to the factory.
ROUSSEAU’s strength lies in its high-performance equipment, which enables it to work in optimum conditions. This enables us to be present on the ground every day, and to respond immediately to demand.
