ZelenogradHOOB's own manufacturing site
A hookah does not begin at assembly. It begins with part geometry, material and a repeatable process.
HOOB machines stainless steel, aluminium and wood. The team makes stem elements, ports, valves, mouthpieces and stem sleeves, performs finishing operations, then assembles and inspects the finished hookahs.
An in-house cycle keeps design, manufacturing and quality control within one team.
01 · Precision machining
Lathes with live tooling, automatic feeding and workpiece changes are complemented by four-axis milling centres. They provide the repeatable geometry required for connections and fits.
02 · Material and finish
Materials arrive with certificates and quality passports. Metal composition can be checked with a spectrometer and wood moisture with a dedicated meter. Every finished component is inspected for dimensions, appearance and coating quality.
03 · Assembly and testing
Before packing, each hookah is completely assembled and disassembled. A vacuum station checks airtightness and valve operation, while completeness is verified against the technical card for that model.
04 · From prototype to series
A new model starts with a prototype and internal testing. HOOB then makes a mini-batch for practical trials in specialist hookah lounges. Only a successful design moves into series production.
HOOB makes the key structural assemblies in-house and uses specialist partners where a dedicated industrial process is required.
Machining, grinding, laser engraving, aquablasting, preparation and coating of wooden components.
Aluminium is anodised in HOOB colours by a partner in the Moscow Region; PVD is also handled by a specialist contractor.
Silicone seals, glass and acrylic bases, plus magnetic discs for ports and base connections are sourced externally.
A recoverable defect is corrected and inspected again. A component that cannot be corrected never reaches assembly.
In Zelenograd, Moscow. Since 1 June 2026, manufacturing, warehouse, assembly and packing occupy a 1,500 m² site.
As of 20 August 2026, there are 20 core turning and four-axis milling machines, supported by woodworking, drying, painting, aquablasting and ultrasonic cleaning equipment.
All stem elements, ports, valves, mouthpieces and stem sleeves. Silicone parts, bases and magnetic discs are purchased.
It is fully assembled and disassembled, tested for airtightness and valve operation on a vacuum station, and checked for completeness against its technical card.
