 WHO ARE WE ?

Developing from the family craft business founded in 1929, the Jacob Group specialises in the manufacture of wooden components for the construction industry. Its manufacturing activities are concentrated around two distinct areas:

  • • The manufacture of "Roof Trusses": JACOB Structures Bois, a subsidiary, manufactures industrialised roof trusses and traditional, digitally cut roof timbers

  • • The manufacture of "Pre-fabricated framework, walls and coverings for buildings": POBI, another subsidiary, offers a complete range of manufactured pre-fabricated components (floors, walls and roof parts) finished in the factory and destined for professionals working in the construction of private houses, social housing, professional premises and collective buildings.
         

 

The Jacob Group also has a Research and Development branch that is active in preparing its future relationships with clients by permanently offering technical development of our products as well as innovations.

Finally, The Jacob Group offers its customers a "Computerised Engineering" service for professionals in the wood industry via its branch SS2i « Microsit Welcom ».

The Jacob Group is based in La Charite sur Loire (nievre, Bourgogne), in the heart of one of the biggest European Douglas Pine forests (the Morvan) and in the department, which is the biggest oak producer in France.
