About Us

About

Red Wood General Trading LLC, known as Redwood Technologies was established in 2011 by British engineer, Nathan Williams.

With a background in industrial engineering processes in the UK and after 4 years of UAE experience in the home technologies industry, Nathan identified a gap in the market for customer-centric and cost-competitive AV and home automation solutions. Around the same time, US manufacturer and now number 1 in luxury residential automation, Control4, was making headway into the Middle East; establishing distribution offices and looking for reliable partners to help gain a foothold on the market.

Since this time, Redwood has been the go-to solution provider for Control4 in the UAE, whilst also supporting new integrators throughout the country and other parts of the Middle East, facilitating Control4’s penetration of the local market.

Although originally established for luxury residential projects, Redwood extended offerings into commercial environments from the very beginning, providing solutions for the likes of Emirates Airline, Atkins Global, Nakheel, Chalhoub and partnering with Du Telecom all within the first 4 years of operation; delivering world-class AV solutions from conceptualisation, through installation and beyond with after-sales services.

Nathan’s philosophy of maintaining an efficient and self-motivated workforce shines through, with over 150 completed high-end projects to date, with a relatively small, but elite team of professionals.
