Les Constructeurs du Bois (LCB) recently announced impressive consolidated sales for the 2024 financial year. Indeed, with 23.3 million euros recorded, this represents an increase of 55.8% on the previous year, a striking performance that consolidates LCB's position as a major player in the wood construction sector. This significant leap testifies not only to the Group's efficiency, but also to its ability to adapt to often changing and demanding market conditions.
This performance is no accident. It is a reflection of the Group's dynamism and the robustness of its business model. In a market that has become increasingly competitive and complex, LCB has been able to maintain and even strengthen its positions thanks to a well-thought-out strategy and the adoption of eco-responsible practices that meet current consumer expectations. The Group constantly highlights its expertise in wood construction to distinguish itself from its competitors.
The Group's efforts to defend a resilient approach are reflected in its constant adaptation to market needs and anticipation of future trends, particularly in terms of sustainability and innovation. LCB continues to develop by integrating the latest technological and ecological advances into its processes, thus ensuring not only its long-term future, but also its role as a leader in eco-construction. This model is proving to be not only profitable but also relevant in today's context, where sustainable development is becoming a priority.
LCB strengthened its strategic positioning during the year, in particular by targeting the intermediate and social housing sectors. This strategic orientation is reflected in a striking figure: around 90% of sales were to institutional landlords. The decision to focus on this niche has enabled LCB not only to diversify its customer portfolio, but also to guarantee a degree of financial stability, as institutional orders often offer medium- to long-term visibility.
By consolidating its presence in this segment, LCB is demonstrating its ability to identify relevant growth opportunities while meeting strong demand for affordable, sustainable housing solutions. The Group also emphasizes the importance of partnerships with social landlords, with a number of projects planned for the near future. These strategic collaborations are essential to strengthening LCB's position in a rapidly changing sector.
Another dimension of LCB's growth lies in its territorial expansion project scheduled for 2025. The Group plans to establish a stronger presence in the Vosges region as well as in the south of France, a strategy aimed at extending its geographical reach and capturing new markets. This ambitious project aims to strengthen the Group's presence nationally, and potentially explore new opportunities internationally if conditions permit.
Finally, LCB's commitment to eco-construction in wood remains a cornerstone of its success. This specialization is not only a commercial asset, but also reflects the Group's commitment to the environment. Wooden construction, often perceived as a low-impact solution, aligns perfectly with LCB's sustainability objectives. This promising niche enables the Group to broaden its offering while ensuring greater profitability, capitalizing on the growing demand for sustainable construction solutions.
