Van Builder for Custom Van Fitouts

Asmat El Baba

Asmat El Baba is the founder and owner of Van Builder, one of Australia’s leading custom vehicle fit-out specialists.

His journey began in 2004 when he designed and built his first mobile food truck. What started as a personal project quickly attracted attention, with customers asking Asmat to build vehicles for their own businesses. Over the following two decades, that single project evolved into Van Builder, a specialist workshop delivering custom food trucks, coffee vans, mobile businesses, RV conversions, and commercial vehicle fit-outs for customers across Australia.

Asmat’s background in Aerospace Engineering continues to influence every project. The same focus on precision, structural integrity, problem-solving, and attention to detail that underpins aircraft design is applied to every build that leaves the Van Builder workshop. Today, Asmat leads a team dedicated to creating practical, reliable, and innovative vehicle solutions that help businesses and individuals bring their ideas to life.
