Our history

The Boulemberg company has been passed down from father to son since 1898 and is seen as a real family by its staff. A working atmosphere that reflects on the quality of your doors and windows. Since 1898 our know-how has constantly evolved to give you the best of ourselves. Jean-Baptiste Boulemberg created the family business, Léon Boulemberg nurtured it, Jean and Jacques Boulemberg refined it and finally Roland and Bernard Boulemberg modernized it.

The family business has often preceded its time by specializing and anticipating the ecological transition.
