Mathis: 210 years of innovation
in timber construction
Mathis, a family business based in Alsace, has enjoyed uninterrupted economic growth since it was founded in 1875, and has become a showcase for French expertise in timber construction. Its economic and technological success, backed by dynamic R&D, makes it one of the jewels in the wood industry's crown. A leading innovator, the company is recognized both nationally and internationally as a specialist in construction systems based on glulam, timber frame, CLT and steel structures, all designed to create genuine architectural feats.
Frank Mathis, the 5th generation of the Mathis family, was at the helm of the government's "Industries du Bois" plan, founded and presided over the Association pour le Développement des Immeubles à Vivre Bois, and is now co-piloting the "Ambition Bois" project created by the forestry and timber industry.
Joining Mathis means embracing the strong environmental values at the heart of a demanding and innovative corporate culture, which has produced a number of large-scale or highly technical tertiary and residential buildings, as well as sports, educational and cultural facilities. In recent years, Mathis has built the 1st wood-frame, energy-positive office building, the 1st all-wood commercial complex, the largest CLT residential building in Europe, the 1st energy-positive tertiary building, the Arboretum, Europe's largest wood campus...

Mathis is an industrial carpenter specializing in the design, manufacture and installation of large-scale timber structures. In this context, the company has developed the AZURTEC® construction system (wall, floor and roof), which forms the load-bearing structure of the building. These are large-scale, prefabricated honeycomb elements made of wood panels and stiffeners. This system - which has a verified parametric EHSF - reduces the use of materials by 25-50%, while storing carbon.
