Reds10 Group’s MMY US acquisition secures U.S. offsite beachhead
UK-based construction and manufacturing firm Reds10 Group will expand into the United States market through a majority-stake acquisition of MMY US, a vertically integrated modular homebuilder, the company announced.
The deal, whose financial details were not disclosed, pairs Reds10’s capital and industrialized building technology with MMY’s American manufacturing footprint. The combination scales production capacity across the UK and US to approximately 640,000 square feet across 14 operating companies and more than 1,000 employees.
Reds10 Group operates a 300,000-square-foot off-site manufacturing facility in Drillfield, Yorkshire, representing the largest off-site residential manufacturing facility in the UK. MMY US, meanwhile, has a 100,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Louisville, KY, and is planning to open a 185,000-square-foot facility in Cleveland.
For Reds10, which has operated across the UK defense, healthcare, justice, education and housing sectors for more than two decades, the majority stake gives the group an established platform to deploy industrialized construction methods into the US housing market.
“This investment marks an important step for Reds10 Group, giving us a presence in the world’s largest economy through a business that shares our values and ambition,” said Paul Ruddick, CEO of Reds10 Group. “By combining its US market expertise with our capability across design, manufacturing, construction and technology, we are creating a powerful platform for growth and, most importantly, for delivering more high-quality, affordable homes.”
MMY US completes roughly 85% of its construction off-site and can build everything from single-family homes to multifamily buildings, including the 36-unit Sellersburg Scholar House in Sellersburg, Indiana. One of its key products is the MMY US 9-plex, which uses 27 modules to deliver nine units for urban infill projects.
“The combination of our local market knowledge and delivery capabilities with Reds10 Group’s experience in industrialized construction will significantly increase our own production capacity, improve delivery efficiency and expand not only the volume, but the range and type of projects we can undertake,” said Robin Bartram Brown, CEO of MMY US, in a statement.
Modular housing facilities get a public boost
Earlier this year, MMY US announced it received $2.56 million in Ohio historic preservation tax credits for its upcoming project in Cleveland, which will involve redeveloping the historic Wellman-Seaver-Morgan Engineering Company building, largely abandoned over the last few decades.
In a statement, Cleveland Mayor Justin M. Bibb said that the investment “creates more opportunities for Cleveland residents through good-paying jobs, workforce development and a stronger local manufacturing base.”
This project fits a broader trend of states and cities offering incentives to companies that build modular housing facilities, as off-site construction becomes one of several tools for tackling the nation’s housing affordability crisis and concurrent construction skilled labor shortage.
For example, California awarded $10 million in grants in August through its Strategic Growth Council to accelerate factory-built housing across the state. The funding will support 10 projects, including modular housing, factory-built affordable housing and manufacturing infrastructure.
Oregon is also putting significant public funding behind factory-produced housing. In June 2026, Oregon Housing and Community Services selected five projects for potential funding through its recently formed, $25 million Factory-Produced Housing Initiative.
In Pennsylvania, Governor Josh Shapiro announced $2.4 million in investment in 2025 to help Pittsburgh-based modular manufacturer Module expand its Pittsburgh-area facility.
A project in Russell County in Southwestern Virginia offers a more direct example of government support for modular manufacturing. The Virginia Coalfield Economic Development Authority committed up to $3 million to help develop a roughly 92,000-square-foot modular housing manufacturing facility, including $2 million for the facility and $1 million for workforce development. Once complete, the facility is expected to eventually produce up to 400 homes annually.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker’s 2027 city budget, proposed in March, allocated $10 million to attract a modular housing factory to the city. The proposed investment is part of Mayor Parker’s broader plan to add 30,000 housing units by 2028 and reflects the city’s growing interest in modular construction to expand housing production.
Against that backdrop, Reds10 Group’s U.S. entry is well timed, arriving as state and local governments grow more willing to fund and support modular housing facilities.
