About Us
Redpost is the primary manufacturer of PU Monitors and accessories globally and having been active in the field since its infancy our products have helped mould the industry and forge its 'best standard' quality practices that preserve reputations and ensure the securing of long-term financial and energy efficiency.
The brain child of Geoff Webber and Edward Aldred, Redpost Electronics Products was founded by the duo in 1978. The pasteurisation monitor suggested itself because of Geoff and Edward's previous experience working with a large scientific instruments company making general purpose paper-chart temperature recorders. There had been attempts to adapt these to provide an instrument for brewers to monitor temperatures in their tunnel pasteurisers but with little success. It was thought that a solid state instrument could be designed that would record temperatures and also calculate the logarithmic integration of temperature against time that was required.
In 1988 Redpost purchased the former water pumping station in Bourn from the Cambridge Water Company and although it took a year and several meticulous re-designs to gain planning permission to refurbish the existing buildings and extend them with a new two-storey block, eventually all the hard work paid of as the extensive plans finally came into fruition when building work started in 1989, with the company eventually moving to their new premises in Bourn during June 1990.
Over the years Redpost equipment has been shown many times at the Drinktec Interbrau exhibition. Most recently the fourth generation of PU monitors (the RPU-352 and RPU-353, were shown at the 2005 exhibition in Munich.
Since 1984 Redpost and Haffmans B.V (now part of the Pentair Group) have had a mutually beneficial distribution partnership. To this end Redpost only sells and supports products within the UK market, even though our equipment is used throughout the globe. Haffmans sells Redpost manufactured equipment under the "Haffmans Redpost" or "Redpost Haffmans" brand.
