Conceptualised to enhance logistical connectivity for Malaysia’s agricultural communities, Doka Malaysia’s stayed-cable bridge in northern Borneo will provide valuable access for farmers and traders while supporting the country’s food security program.

Why Doka’s long-term view on Ringlock scaffolding in the Asia Pacific is set to support a new era of ambitious construction projects across the region.

Since opening its main office in Jakarta and branch office in Batam just over a year ago, we examine Doka’s expansion into Southeast Asia’s largest country and why it is already paying dividend.

Fuelled by a flurry on inbound investments, we take a look at how material rental is just one of the ways developers and contractors are optimising profits as Australia’s construction industry booms.

Doka India has completed work on the 900-metre Dwarka Bridge, providing valuable connectivity within the northwestern region of Gujarat.

Doka, one of the world's leading suppliers of formwork with headquarters in Amstetten, Austria, completed the 100% acquisition of scaffolding manufacturer AT-PAC. Both companies initially partnered in 2020 to provide comprehensive global site solutions. The acquisition positions Doka as a single source for formwork and scaffolding for the global construction industry and strengthens the company’s new global business segment, "Industrial Scaffolding". For AT-PAC this means full access to a global market.

International formwork and scaffolding expert Doka pledged that it will be climate-neutral by 2040 as it addresses one of the most pressing issues in the global construction industry. By focusing on decarbonization and the circular economy, the company has already made an important first step towards achieving this goal. In summer 2022, Doka introduced Product Carbon Footprint – KPIs, making it the first formwork supplier in the industry to provide transparent emissions data for 6,000 products. The Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) has been generated to help customers make more environmentally responsible purchasing decisions.

Doka will present its new "scaffolding" business during the world's largest construction trade fair bauma 2022 when it opens its doors from 24 - 30 October. Demonstrating its commitment to “creating real added value for our customers” Doka is displaying its impressive new scaffolding options alongside advances in its formwork portfolio, and numerous highlights from the fields of digitalization and sustainability. The expanding product and service collection will be on display at the Doka exhibit (FN.421 – FN.423), which covers almost 4,500 square meters.

Robert Hauser will take over as chairman of the Executive Board on 1 July 2021.

Since Doka forged its strategic alliance with AT-PAC at the end of last year, Doka’s decision to include scaffolding as one of its core offerings is set to pay dividend as the construction and oil & gas markets turn their focus to more cost-effective, long-term solutions.
