UAE-based multinational group Mulk International has announced a partnership with Marses to launch Mulk Marses Robotics, a groundbreaking joint venture poised to redefine the global construction sector. The new entity aims to lead the shift from traditional, labour-intensive building methods to a technologically advanced, automated manufacturing model, promising significant gains in speed, cost-efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
A New Era of Automated Construction
Mulk Marses Robotics is set to accelerate the adoption of 4th Industrial Revolution technologies within the construction industry. The venture has laid out an aggressive roadmap that includes establishing a number of fully-automated modular construction factories, with initial sites planned for the UAE, Europe, and the USA. These state-of-the-art facilities will leverage robotics to produce high-precision wall panels, pods, and complete modular housing systems, effectively transforming construction sites into assembly points for factory-made components.
Tapping a Multi-Trillion Dollar Market
The launch comes as the global construction market is projected to grow from $11.39 trillion in 2024 to $16.11 trillion by 2030. In the Middle East alone, the industry was valued at over $104 billion in 2024 and is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.9% through 2030. Mulk Marses Robotics is positioned to capture a significant share of this growth by introducing efficiencies that can fundamentally alter the industry’s investment profile and profitability. Adnan Ul Mulk, Chairman of Mulk Marses Robotics, stated, “With robotic modular manufacturing, we can now build with a new level of precision, speed, and sustainability that will deliver immense value.”
Vision for a Sustainable and Efficient Future
The core mission of the joint venture is to address the long-standing inefficiencies of the construction sector. By automating production, the company aims to slash project timelines, lower costs, elevate quality control, and embed sustainability into every project by minimizing waste and optimizing resource use. Shaji Ul Mulk, Chairman of Mulk International, commented, “This partnership unites Mulk’s global market presence and building solutions expertise with MARSES’ unmatched proficiency in automation and advanced manufacturing. Together, we are creating a powerhouse that will shape how the world builds.”
Beyond Construction
While the primary focus is on revolutionizing construction, Mulk Marses Robotics also plans to extend its proprietary automation technologies into other high-growth sectors, including automotive, electronics, and heavy material handling. In a move to build a skilled workforce for this new industrial era, the venture will also establish a Construction Automation Training Academy to develop the next generation of professionals.
