Henry Timber, wood supplier for professionals
We stock wood from all over the world. As experts in importing and trading wood, we supply our products to a client base of wholesalers and distributors throughout France.
Our history
Henry Timber has been a family business since 1895. We are one of Europe’s leading timber trading companies, importing wood from South-East Asia, Africa, North and South America, Russia and Europe.
In all, we stock around a hundred different species. From roughsawn timber, construction timber, planed-all-round products, to decorative wood for interior and exterior fittings.
Henry Timber started importing wood in 1975 under the leadership of Luc Henry. In 2004, the range was extended to integrate the distribution of construction wood products, joinery scantlings, interior and exterior cladding, to meet customer needs.
2006 saw the creation of the Wood Platform for specialists and generalist customers of the SAMSE Group, to benefit from the diversity of products, stocks and wood skills of the company.
Julien Renaud - Chairman
Henry Timber leverages its import expertise to offer its customers timber sourced exclusively from sustainably managed forests.
We are actively preparing for the implementation of the new European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR), effective from January 2026. We would like to remind you that our company is already FSC®, PEFC, OLB, and Bois de France certified.
Despite a challenging economic climate, the timber market is benefiting from the momentum generated by the RE2020 regulation. To meet market demands and enhance our offering, Henry Timber is expanding its range with imported panels and will invest in a dedicated wood and panel processing facility in 2025, thereby strengthening its service offering.
