solution that might get the job done Rather, we continue fine-tuning it until we come up with a true benefit for our customers This is the only way a small woodworking shop could grow into a globally operating formwork company known by the brand name Doka since 1956 Thinking in terms of generations Based on its aim of making everything easier, better and more efficient, the company has continued throughout its history to set new standards in quality, functionality and efficiency around the world Without losing sight of its clear focus on its values in the process For generations the company

Engineering, Innovation Harald Ziebula Chairman of Executive Board Doka Group | Sales, Marketing Gerd Pechura Member of Executive Board Doka Group | Finance Continents 70 Countries 160 Locations Perfect formwork solutions Made in Austria Whether for sale or rent, Doka Group products for modular use across generations are exclusively manufactured in Europe Production takes place primarily in the central plant in Amstetten An additional plant is located in St Martin (AT) Production sites are equipped with cutting-edge and highly automated systems, utilising processes in compliance with the most stringent quality and environmental standards Understanding The construction site as a whole We focus not only on products, we focus on construction processes How can our customers achieve more with fewer expenditures? Which detail can be optimised, which formwork service provides cost savings? These are thoughts running through our heads over and over again each day until in cooperation with our customers we developed another innovative solution Understanding construction sites Three things are crucial in tough everyday construction site situations: efficiency, safety and handling – only someone who understands exactly what happens on the construction site knows how to produce better products compatible with one another and to continue their further development This is something we based on our construction site experts and a team of 1,000 engineers Smart products are the foundation for efficiency 10 Understanding construction sectors 18 Competence does not just happen; at Doka, it is created as a result of daily experiences and concrete insights we gain from our customer’s projects and then bundle in our Global Expertise Centers This is how we get the most out of each and every formwork unit In particular, when it comes to highrises, bridges, tunnels, power plants and fairfaced concrete projects Bridge-building expertise Understanding how to bridge obstacles Cycle times shortened by 20% while at the same time saving resources and costs: our bridge
