Océwood

Océwood is Oceplast’s consumer brand, a French manufacturer of eco-designed composite outdoor fittings (decks, fences, gates, wicket gates and cladding). The brand was created in 2005 by Oceplast, a company founded in 2002 in Vendée by Bertrand Dubin and Stéphane Coutand, initially specialized in PVC extrusion. All teams are brought together on the same production site in Aizenay, Vendée. Now led by Nathalie Gamby, Oceplast claims around 70 employees and a turnover of about €23M. Oceplast’s core business is the design and extrusion of composite profiles, which it offers to the general public under the Océwood brand and to industrial customers in B2B. In 2017, the company replaced wood flour with flax shives, a local natural fiber from the flax sector, combined with recycled PVC. It developed the patented Tech-Sture technology, which combines an eco-designed composite core and a printed skin using exterior inks without VOCs. The Océwood catalog covers decking boards, fences and gates (Boréale and Tech-Sture ranges), wicket gates and cladding. Several decking ranges include a patented clip system designed to make installation easier. Océwood positions its activity within a circular economy approach. The cladding is certified Origine France Garantie, and the company highlights the MORE label, the recycling of its production offcuts, and the Récup'Chutes program to recover and repurpose construction-site waste.
