Story



We are Middle East’s largest mobile & modular business manufacturer. 

Engineered in Dubai. Shipped worldwide.

 

We design and manufacture fully operational mobile and modular units for brands across industries - from F&B and retail to healthcare, events, and beyond.

Whether it’s a single unit or a large-scale rollout, we build spaces that are engineered to perform in real-world conditions.

Since 2017, AHOY has engineered and delivered over 850 projects - from bootstrapped street food startups to full franchise rollouts for some of the region’s biggest brands.

Every truck, trailer and container leaves our factory in Dubai built to the same standard: safe, durable, beautiful, and ready to earn from day one.

And for projects that go beyond mobility, our modular construction arm, AHOYmodz, delivers large-scale builds with the same precision and expertise. Click here to explore AHOYmodz

Our payment structure is milestone-based, designed to align with the progress of your build.
