Sustainability-Driven Operations with Verified Sourcing
From timber optimisation to low-emission transport, sustainability is embedded in Pasquill Redhill’s operating model. The company is aligned with Saint-Gobain’s carbon neutrality roadmap and has introduced electric forklifts to reduce site-level emissions. Critically, all timber is sourced in full compliance with the EU Timber Regulation, ensuring materials come from reputable, verified sources. These steps reflect a wider strategy to embed low-carbon, responsible practices throughout the supply chain.
Investing in Technology to Improve Efficiency and Output Quality
To enhance productivity and reduce waste, Pasquill Redhill has invested in the advanced Hundegger single-blade saw—a fully computerised cutting solution offering increased precision and flexibility. The system supports leaner manufacturing with lower material waste and energy use. In parallel, the use of SL laser technology on the shop floor has driven significant gains in assembly accuracy, reinforcing consistent quality and traceability across production runs.

Optimising Storage and Intralogistics
Recognising the growing need for efficient space utilisation, Pasquill Redhill has expanded its storage vertically, moving from ground-level arrangements to a four-tier racking system. This not only improves stock visibility but also enhances internal logistics and workflow efficiency. To support operations in narrow aisle conditions, the company has partnered with Combilift to deploy five customised Combi-C4000 electric multidirectional trucks. These electric units improve manoeuvrability, reduce emissions, and enhance on-site safety—demonstrating a commitment to both operational excellence and environmental performance.
Towards Automated Truss Production
Pasquill Redhill is also preparing to commission the UK’s first fully automated truss production line. This significant step will enable a major uplift in production capacity and consistency—without reducing workforce numbers. The investment reflects Pasquill’s belief that automation and skilled labour can coexist to drive both efficiency and job quality, while meeting rising demand with speed and reliability.
Through its strategic focus on advanced manufacturing, responsible sourcing, and sustainable operations, Pasquill Redhill is setting a strong example within the timber construction and supply chain sector. As it continues to scale innovation and improve efficiency, the company reinforces its role as a trusted partner for those seeking forward-looking, sustainable solutions in timber frame construction.
