Accsys is proud to welcome Lemahieu as its stocking distributor for Belgium and Luxembourg, strengthening the availability of Accoya® wood in the region. Accoya has already made a strong impact in Belgium, with notable projects such as the iconic SILT Casino and Hotel in Middelkerke, featuring a striking Accoya façade inspired by a skeletal structure.
With over a century of experience, Lemahieu Group, a family-owned business founded in 1911, has become an established partner in the wood, and panel industry with a strong focus on adding value to wood. Lemahieu Group carefully selects both solid wood and engineered timber, ensuring a comprehensive stock of materials for construction and design.
With an extensive range of sawing, planing, impregnating, dipping, CNC-machining, and fire-retardant treatment, Lemahieu Group is a loyal partner to the timber trade, DIY sector, and timber industry in Belgium and abroad. Lemahieu Group already offers Medite Tricoya® panel products, made from Accsys’ acetylated Tricoya® wood chips.
With a turnover of €125 million, Lemahieu operates from two large sites, in Ostend and Ghent. The Ostend site has a state-of-the-art wood processing capability suited to modern decking and cladding production.
