Deeside Timberframe announces a multimillion-pound strategic investment programme. As part of its expansion, Deeside Timberframe has opened a new office in Warrington, marking a significant step in the company’s strategic growth across England.

A key component includes a 5,500-square-foot factory extension at Deeside Timberframe’s Throsk manufacturing facility. Designed to accommodate a new automated wall production line, the expansion significantly boosts productivity and enables faster, more efficient delivery of timber frame systems. In line with the company’s Net Zero strategy, the site now benefits from a 108kW solar panel installation, generating 90,000 kWh annually – enough to supply more than one third of the facility’s energy needs.

Further investment in cutting-edge machinery includes the integration of a Hundegger Turbo-Drive Saw, a fully automated precision cutting system, and the addition of a new AV Birch Magna Truss Press and AB Birch UniRoll for open web joist production. These improvements bring critical design and manufacturing processes in-house, strengthening supply chain resilience, enhancing flexibility, and ensuring tighter control over quality and scheduling.

To support safer and more efficient factory operations, Deeside Timberframe has also commissioned a new dust extraction system from Indusvent, replacing the previous installation and aligning with its sustainability goals.

Ongoing enhancements at Throsk include upgrades to logistics infrastructure, office space, welfare facilities, electrical heating, and transportation. In parallel, the company has made significant investments in its design and engineering software, including continued development with Elecosoft’s 2D and 3D CAD design suite and an upgrade to MiTek’s PAMIR, an industry-leading tool for truss and joist design. Together, these technologies improve design accuracy and streamline integration with the factory’s automated systems.

Alongside these operational improvements, Deeside Timberframe has also upgraded the office and welfare facilities at its Stonehaven headquarters, further supporting its growing team and creating a modern, comfortable working environment.

Deeside Timberframe is a leading supplier of offsite manufactured timber frame solutions.
