History

1939 - Founding

Originally, the company was a sawmill that impregnated electricity poles and manufactured floor pavers, delivered throughout Switzerland.

1960 - Evolution

This sawing and impregnation activity began to decline in the 1960s, so Mr. Paul BINGGELI, who managed the company until 1986, had to find other outlets and so began to develop a solid wood trading business.

1980 - Growth

It was in 1980 that the wood impregnation plant experienced a new boom and became CORABOIS SA, when it was taken over by the BALTESCHWILER group.

1986 - Flambeau

In 1986, Mr. Alain TRUCHET took over as Managing Director of CORABOIS SA, succeeding Mr. Paul BINGGELI who retired.

From 1986 to 2017, Mr. Alain TRUCHET continued to develop the trade in solid, cross-laminated, agglomerated and devirated wood of all kinds.

2002 - New site

In 2002, thanks to its new site in Vernier, the company expands considerably, increasing its trading capacity.

2017 - Current

Monsieur Rémy CONDEVAUX, after 27 years with CORABOIS SA, takes over the management of the company in 2017.

He further increases the company's trading capacity through the acquisition of modern, computerized machinery.
