Customer Succes
British Offsite – Shaun Weston
“We changed our approach several times—from nailing to screwing and back again,” Weston recalls. “Randek never pushed back. They engaged, listened, and responded when we needed to pivot. That kind of responsiveness is rare.”
“Their willingness to collaborate—especially at speed—has been critical to refining our system,” Weston says. “They didn’t just provide automation; they co-developed a process that works in a real-world, high-volume factory.”
“Eighteen months into automated production, we continue to refine and improve,” Weston says. “It’s not about getting everything perfect the first time—it’s about building a system that evolves intelligently.”
“Randek UK has been integral to everything we’ve built,” Weston says. “They gave us the flexibility to shape the system we needed. That relationship continues to evolve, just like our manufacturing process.”
Edge Timber Frame – Graeme Batey
“Initially, I thought we might be too small for their machinery, but after analysing our production needs, it became clear that investing in Randek would be a game-changer. The improvement in both speed and quality was almost immediate.”
“With Randek’s technology, we’ve increased efficiency while maintaining complete control over our output,” Graeme explains. “That kind of investment means we can confidently take on larger projects without compromising standards.”
Donaldson Timber System – Frank O´Reilly
“Our original site in Westhill, Scotland, has had Randek framers for over 30 years,” Frank explains. “We were probably one of the earliest Randek customers in the UK. The technology we had back then was quite basic, but even then, it was a game changer for framing speed and precision.”
“This investment allows us to manufacture closed panel products with greater precision,” Frank explains. “Previously, it was a more manual process, but now we have a properly industrialised workflow. Randek was willing to customise the system to meet our exact requirements, which made all the difference.”
“We run a double shift across our factories, producing around 34-35 homes per day,” Frank explains. “That equates to between 80,000 and 100,000 linear metres of timber being processed each month.”
“When we introduce new systems, we take a cautious, research-driven approach to ensure everything meets the highest standards.”
The precision of Randek’s robotic systems plays a vital role in maintaining this quality. “Automation has allowed us to eliminate a lot of the inconsistencies that can happen with manual processes,” Frank says. “We know exactly how much material we need; we minimise waste, and we maintain high repeatability.”
“Randek has been an integral part of our journey,” Frank says. “Their willingness to work with us and refine their technology has helped us push the boundaries of timber frame manufacturing. By focusing on efficiency and quality, we’re not just keeping up with industry demands—we’re shaping the future of timber construction in the UK.”
Saint Gobain Offsite solutions
“This investment (AutoEye Roof truss system) will allow us to significantly increase capacity, particularly in the South-East of England, while providing roof-trusses at even higher quality and with reduced waste”
Alexander Timber Design - Joint Managing Director Pat Glennon.
“This facility offers a tangible example of how the timber industry can lead the transition to a low-carbon economy. It reinforces Scotland’s role as a leader in modern methods of construction (MMC), helping meet the rising demand for energy-efficient, affordable housing.”
