BusinessWorld: Hive Modular Expanding Philippine Manufacturing to Enable Future Exports

‍

Manila, Philippines, January 2025. Leading business and finance publication BusinessWorld featured Hive Modular in a profile on our Philippine manufacturing expansion and long-term export ambitions. The piece details how Hive is scaling its Cavite factory operations to meet growing demand for prefab homes in the Philippines, particularly from resort developers and Airbnb operators in Siargao and the Visayas.

‍

The article covers the launch of the Casita One45, Hive Modular's 45-square-meter one-bedroom prefab home priced at ₱7.5 million, alongside plans for the Casita One60 and Casita Two75 to follow within the year. It also explores why founder and CEO John Avrett chose the Philippines as Hive Modular's manufacturing base, pointing to the country's shipbuilding heritage and the depth of skilled labor available.

‍

BusinessWorld captures Hive Modular's broader vision: a scaled-up Philippine operation, 80% locally sourced materials, and modular homes ready for both Filipino landowners and future international export markets.
