LB Belliard, an iconic company in the wood construction sector, is a key player in the construction of the next Halles Gourmandes in Laval. Founded in the 1980s, the company has prospered and reinvented itself over the decades. More recently, it became part of Groupe LB, a move that has enabled it to increase its industrial potential and take on large-scale projects in the Grand-Ouest region.
From the outset, LB Belliard has specialized in the use of glued laminated timber, a technique that enables the design of beams of impressive dimensions and varied shapes, meeting the specific requirements of modern projects. For example, in their gluing workshop, boards measuring between 3 and 6 meters are transformed into beams up to 50 meters long, offering unprecedented architectural flexibility.
LB Belliard is extensively involved in various projects throughout the Grand-Ouest region, encompassing constructions as varied as warehouses, residential buildings, administrative buildings, schools, gymnasiums and even aquatic centers. The diversity of these initiatives testifies to LB Belliard's versatility and competence in meeting today's needs for innovative, sustainable construction.
The company, which has always been based in Gorron, has managed to maintain close links with the region, while opening up to new prospects through gradual industrialization. This transition to a more mechanized and efficient production chain has enabled LB Belliard not only to meet growing demand, but also to strengthen its capabilities in ecological and environmentally-friendly construction.
The importance of the Halles Gourmandes in Laval goes beyond their gastronomic functions. This event will mark a high point in LB Belliard's commitment to providing sustainable timber structures, highlighting the advantages of natural materials in the face of global environmental challenges. Scheduled to open this summer, these halls promise to be an island of cultural and economic dynamism in the region, embodying the marriage of wood's authenticity and architectural modernity.
