Mobilhouse

What Mobilhouse does

Mobilhouse A/S, founded in 1961 in Fredericia, Denmark, manufactures, sells, and rents modular buildings and mobile units for construction site welfare, temporary housing, and student accommodation. Its product portfolio spans mobile residential wagons (Beboelsesvogne Types 33/33G/33L/33M4/33XL4/34B), modular residential units and pitched-roof pavilions (Types 42–58), student housing units (New York 22 m², Copenhagen 30 m², Stockholm 60 m², Paris 26 m²), crew and environmental wagons, dining/office wagons, mobile bathrooms, storage containers, and a small portfolio of Nordic Swan Ecolabel-certified tiny houses in Tørring. Underlying technology is conventional modular steel-and-timber construction with integrated plumbing, electric heat tracing (el-tracing), and stone-wool winter mats (vintermåtter) for cold-weather operation; units are refurbished in-house between rental cycles.

The business operates a recurring rental model (typical monthly pricing DKK 600–9,100 per unit ex. VAT) supplemented by used-unit resale through brugteskurvogne.dk and one-off sales of tiny houses (DKK 1.15–1.43M). Distribution is direct, consultative phone/email sales supported by Mobilhouse's own nationwide delivery and retrieval fleet operating from Vejle and Slagelse, with EDC Bolig acting as an external real estate channel for the tiny house range. In 2024 Mobilhouse merged with Dalsgaard Byg and Dalsgaard Pavilloner to form the Conrum group (180 employees, four Danish locations), with the Mobilhouse brand retained for the cyclical portable-cabin rental business and a full Conrum brand rollout scheduled after end-2025. The company is privately held, currently under Kirk Kapital ownership following the 2023 acquisition from Adelis Equity.

Products include residential wagons, crew wagons, canteen/office wagons, toilet/bath wagons, environmental wagons, and storage containers. Minimum rental periods vary (1 month for wagons, longer for modules).
2. Sale of used units: Units that no longer meet rental standards are sold onward to buyers who do not require the same quality standards. Sold through brugteskurvogne.dk. Extends the lifecycle of equipment and generates secondary revenue.
