OUR STORY
Since 1830, the family tradition has been at one with wood.
Six generations of the YVON family have been involved in the woodworking trades.
From clogmaker to operator, from operator to sawyer, from sawyer to distributor, from distributor to importer… Almost 200 years of love between the YVON family and wood.
