What ARKI GROUP does

ARKI Group is a Dubai-headquartered interior design, fitout, and manufacturing conglomerate founded in 1996 by Hani Al Qasem. It operates nine wholly-owned subsidiaries across three pillars: contracting (ARKI FITOUTS), manufacturing (ARKI MOBILI for joinery and bespoke furniture, ARKI Glazing Aluminium Works / ARKIGA for glass and aluminum systems, SIXINCH ME for foam-coated furniture, and ARKI LIBART ME as exclusive regional manufacturer of LIBART retractable architectural systems), and trading/technology (ARKI Technology for IoT and Remote Environment Management, STUDIOVEE for online office furniture retail, ARKI Marine for coastal engineering and floating marine solutions, and Arki Laboratories).

The company delivers turnkey design-build interior fitout projects spanning design, MEP, joinery, partitioning, flooring, ceilings, custom furniture, and smart-building integration, primarily to enterprise and government clients across the UAE, wider MENA, Africa, and Asia. Core technical capabilities rest on in-house large-scale manufacturing (positioned as the regional leader for joinery), exclusive partnerships with LIBART and SIXINCH for proprietary architectural and foam-coating technologies, and ISO 9001/14001/45001 plus LEED and Estidama sustainability certifications. Notable clients include Emirates NBD, DIFC, ADNOC, UAE federal and Abu Dhabi government entities, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Microsoft, Marriott, Hilton, Anantara, Etisalat, FedEx, Emaar, and Porsche Centre Middle East.

ARKI Group operates an enterprise field sales motion with 500+ multi-disciplinary professionals, has completed 3,000+ projects, and maintains offices and showrooms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts (fitout), hardware sales (manufactured furniture, glazing, IoT devices), and e-commerce (STUDIOVEE), with no public pricing disclosed and contracts negotiated quote-by-quote against client specifications. The group is privately held by the Al Qasem family, with no external institutional funding disclosed.
