Portable kitchens from the industry leader

More than a quarter century ago, Kevin Carlin wanted to prepare fresh, quality food on location. When he couldn’t, he got busy.

Kevin was a caterer. He saw how he could improve his business – help others in his industry – by providing excellent mobile kitchens and kitchen facilities.

That idea is what still drives Carlin Manufacturing today.

Mr. Carlin built his first mobile unit in 1980 and founded Carlin Mobile Kitchens in 1981. Twenty-five years later, Carlin Manufacturing produces mobile kitchens, re-locatable buildings and specialty vehicles for an array of clients.

Carlin's products currently serve customers in more than 30 countries around the globe with vehicles built for fast food giants like McDonald's, Burger King, and Pizza Hut.

Our Midwest manufacturing facilities produce mobile and modular units for all branches of the military, as well as the American Red Cross and Salvation Army.

From disaster relief vehicles to the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile, Carlin continues to discover new ways of satisfying clients in many different fields.

Partners Ralph Goldbeck, Steve Rubin and Fred Stowell carry on the tradition Kevin Carlin began. Over 25 years in business with units around the world, Carlin is still driven by a passion for perfection.
