Asis Boats (stylized as ASIS Boats) is a privately owned company that manufactures inflatable boats, RIBs and similar vessels.[1] The company's headquarters are in Dubai, UAE near the Jebel Ali industrial area with an office and factory in Maryland, United States.[2]
ASIS is one of the largest three manufacturers of RHIBS in the world.[3] The company is completely vertically integrated.[4]
History
Roy Nouhra founded ASIS boats in 2005. He had been serving as Co-CEO of his family business Solico UAE.[5] He founded the company using the already existing network of customers and suppliers.[6] The company sold its first boat in 2006 and was established as an independent company.[7]
In 2014, ASIS was given the licence to assemble the Sealegs Amphibious System on their boats, making them the first manufacturer outside New Zealand and Australia to use the Sealegs technology.[8] The company presented its first amphibious inboard RIB at the Dubai International Boat Show.[9] The next year the company launched its first outboard amphibious boat at the Dubai International Boat Show.[10][11]
Initially the company manufactured boats for leisure and recreational segments, and later began producing boats for commercial and military purposes as well.[12] As of 2016, ASIS has reduced its leisure market to 10%, with greater focus on the professional and military segment.[13]
