Mulk International, a division of United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based Mulk Holdings International, and Marses have formed a joint venture (JV) called Mulk Marses Robotics.

The new entity aims to shift construction from traditional manual methods to automated manufacturing, according to a release posted on Zawya.

Mulk Marses Robotics chair Adnan Ul Mulk said: “This joint venture represents a monumental shift in our vision for the future of construction.

“For too long, the industry has been held back by traditional, time-consuming methods. With robotic modular manufacturing, we can now build with a new level of precision, speed, and sustainability that will deliver immense value and transform the industry’s investment profile.”

Mulk Marses Robotics plans to open fully automated modular construction facilities in the UAE, Europe, and the US.

These facilities will use robotic technology to produce wall panels, pods, and modular housing systems, with a focus on reducing costs and time.

Mulk International group CEO Arbab Khan said: “Robotics and construction are not just technologies - they represent a turning point for the way humanity builds. By merging automation with construction, we can slash timelines, lower costs, elevate quality, and embed sustainability at the core of every project.

"With Mulk Marses Robotics, we are laying the foundation for a new era in global infrastructure - an era defined by speed, intelligence, and resilience.”

Mulk Marses Robotics will integrate resource optimisation and waste reduction into its operations to lower carbon emissions.

It also plans to create a Construction Automation Training Academy to train workers in these technologies.

Mulk Marses Robotics intends to expand this automation technology into other sectors beyond construction.

According to leading data and analytics company GlobalData, global construction output grew by 3.1% in 2024. The forecast for 2025 shows expected growth at 2.3%.
