In 2010, the Charlois group acquired a laboratory, and began research on an oak extract for cosmetic purposes.
In 2016, on the strength of innovation and a first patent, the Charlois group invested in the world of cosmetics by launching the La Chênaie brand, born from the exceptional anti-aging properties of a patented oak extract.
In the same year, the La Grange cooperage factory was created, a prestigious artisanal cooperage whose barrels are handcrafted by the best craftsmen of the group. Two exceptional activities which are the imprint of the excellence of the Charlois group.
In 2018, Sylvain Charlois created the Charlois Fund, for art and the forest, in order to develop, promote and enhance art, culture and heritage in connection with the forest, its trades, traditions and values.
