Diversification
A modern, innovative and eco-responsible company, Boen distributes its products in over fifty countries on four continents. Entrepôt de la Pierre CEO Olaf Masson and his team have every reason to be proud of this collaboration, which is already generating sales. “Boen is a perfect fit with our quest for strategic complementarity, aimed at offering our customers coherent, harmonious solutions. We share the same vision of quality, service and innovation, and this exclusivity testifies to our mutual trust, our commitment to offering prestige materials suited to all types of projects.” For Abhinav Gupta, Boen’s Sales Director for Asia and Africa, who “carefully selects its distributors based on their ability to meet high standards of quality, customer service and market expertise”, this alliance reinforces their commitment “to offer solutions that are tailored to the needs of our customers. to meet the specific needs of the Mauritian market”.
Durability
The Norwegian giant not only offers a product made from noble woods, but also from an environmentally-friendly manufacturing process. Abhinav explains what responsible forest management means, and the brand’s commitment to sustainable sourcing: “The wood – mainly oak, ash and beech for the top layers, and spruce for the bottom and middle layers – is 95% harvested in Europe, where these species are abundant. The environmental impact is minimal, favoring biodiversity and forest regeneration. Natural resources are preserved for future generations, while maintaining the highest quality standards. We are one of the few players in the sector to publish an annual report on the subject*.”
Singularity
“The inclusion of Boen parquet in our range enables us to offer architects, designers and homeowners in search of excellence a natural, elegant alternative,” says Olaf. Commenting on current trends in wood species and colors, Abhinav replies: “The market favors warm, natural tones, timeless species such as oak, lighter finishes and matte surfaces, reflecting an evolution towards a more sustainable, minimalist aesthetic.” As for board thickness, thicker (and therefore more stable) boards are compatible with high-traffic areas or underfloor heating systems. Thinner (and easier to install) are ideal for renovation projects, without compromising aesthetics or sturdiness. At Boen,” he concludes, “we believe that every tree tells a story. Our commitment to transparency ensures that every piece of wood we use is responsibly sourced and FSC-certified, guaranteeing ethical and sustainable forestry practices.” Discover these stories… at Entrepôt de la Pierre.
