A major player

Asselin is now a major player in the restoration of historic monuments and partner of your wood projects.

Our crafts are rooted in a tradition of training and the passing-on of skills.

Asselin has therefore been able to forge its technical mastery by delving into our cultural roots and by opening up to new technologies allowing us to export our craft beyond our borders.

Design and implementation

Our traditional crafts are enriched by technological innovations. This means that there is no project or structure that is so complex that we cannot find a solution for it.

From design to implementation, there is constant synergy between everyone in the company, all of them men and women with honed  skills.
This richness of our craft is the fruit of an uncompromising approach to our work every single day, one that we wish to share with you and to implement in your projects.
ASSELIN
We invite you to discover our references and our craft and hope to be able to lend our motivation and our passion to your future projects, so giving us the opportunity to prove us worthy of your trust and of your expectations.

History

The name of Asselin has been associated with the most beautiful edifices for more than half a century.

Asselin

1950s

In 1957, a young carpenter by the name of Gérard Asselin set up his own company in Thouars (Deux-Sèvres).

Combining his demanding standards with his instinct, he was able to quickly gather a remarkable team around him, so enabling his company to be recognised for the high level of its workmanship.

1960s-1970s

With strong bases in carpentry, woodworking, cabinet-work and ironwork, the company forged a strong image and reputation in the 1960s and 1970s which led it to position itself as a major player in the renovation of historic monuments.

1980s

The 1980s saw the company take charge of the renovation of prestigious monuments throughout France. (Val-de-Grâce, Légion d’Honneur, etc.).

Thanks mainly to sustained efforts in the integration and above all the training of young craftspeople, as well as rigorous monitoring of quality, the company extended its scope, and its work won the recognition of many, in both the public and private sectors.

1990s

In 1991, François Asselin, the son of Gérard Asselin, took over the management of the company. Building on his father's experience, he pursued his efforts in the area of quality, but gave three new directions to the company:

fleche opening of an office in Paris,

fleche opening of an office in one of France's overseas dependencies (La Réunion),

fleche growth of the company internationally with the opening of the subsidiary Asselin Inc. in the USA (Atlanta, Georgia). Asselin already has thirty projects to its name in the United States.

2000 and beyond

With more than 140 staff in France, its overseas dependencies and the United States, the new century saw several major initiatives on Asselin's part:

fleche construction of Hermione,

fleche design and manufacture of a new range of wooden windows,

fleche desire of the company to innovate and to diversify, with the creation of Asselin Innovation,

fleche choice of an environmental direction and sustainable development through adherence to energy standards and the traceability of our supplies.
