Your carpenter since 1934

Lathion Frères is just like its material of choice, wood: it's a company that lasts over time and is reliable. It's also, and above all, a fine family business.

Denis Fournier, great-grandfather of the current manager, opened the first carpenter in Haute Nendaz in 1934. He had learned the carpentry trade from his father. Later joined by his son Maurice, the company has survived the decades. 

In 1978, Denis' grandchildren (Maurice, Jean-Marc and Roger) founded the company in its present form: Lathion Frères. They were greatly assisted in this adventure by their father, André.

Renovated and then extended, the building housing the company took on its present form in 1986. Frédéric Lathion, Denis' great-grandson, has been managing the company since 2010.
