In 2024 Binghatti Holdings, one of the largest Emirati Real Estate Developer, joined forces with global formwork and scaffolding leader Doka on a series of landmark projects shaping Dubai’s iconic skyline. Construction is now advancing on the Burj Binghatti Jacob & Co Residences, a residential tower envisioned to become a world-first in architectural horology. The project is supported by Doka’s formwork engineering and advanced climbing systems, which play a central role in driving construction progress.

Doka has been awarded a Silver rating by the internationally recognised sustainability rating provider EcoVadis. This places Doka among the top 15% of all companies assessed worldwide and once again underscores its commitment to responsible and future-oriented business practices across the entire value chain.

Doka is pleased to announce that, in December 2025, the company has joined the United Nations Global Compact – a voluntary initiative for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible business practices. By doing so, Doka joins thousands of other companies globally committed to taking responsible business action to create the world we all want.

The Mumbai-Pune Expressway, a vital artery connecting two of India's major cities, is undergoing a significant upgrade with the construction of the 13.3 km “Missing Link” project. This aims to revolutionise connectivity by reducing travel distance by over six kilometres and travel time by approximately 30 minutes. Doka plays a pivotal role in this project, providing expertise and innovative systems for the construction of this complex cable-stayed bridge.

Doka launches DokaFit, a new product line engineered at its Asia Innovation Hub to deliver scalable time and cost savings for construction projects of any size. Designed to be truly ‘fit for purpose’, the DokaFit product line sets a new standard for formwork by offering a unique blend of durability, cost-efficiency, and multipurpose functionalities.

In today’s construction industry, unlocking the full potential of digital transformation isn’t just an option, it’s essential. Doka is leading by example with a proprietary AI solution that automates the counting and identification of formwork and scaffolding materials. The technology is already in use at over 50 Doka locations worldwide.

Doka, a global leader in formwork and scaffolding, is launching Xlife top, the first Doka formwork sheet featuring a core made entirely of recycled plastic. Optimising innovative plastic composite technology, Xlife top delivers exceptional durability and multiple reuse cycles to radically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Making its debut at bauma 2025, its introduction to the construction industry marks a major step towards proving that climate action and cost-efficiency can go hand in hand.

At bauma 2025, Doka is unveiling one of the most ambitious digital initiatives in the formwork industry to date: Doka 360. The integrated customer platform digitally connects and streamlines all key touchpoints – from planning and ordering to site operations and return logistics – along the formwork process. This marks a new chapter in construction partnerships – one that frees up time, simplifies workflows, and unleashes the full productivity potential on the jobsite.

At bauma 2025, visitors will experience an array of brand-new scaffolding innovations at the Doka booth in the open-air area north/west (booth FN.420–FN.423). With the introduction of new scaffolding product lines, Doka is further expanding its offering as a one-stop shop for formwork and scaffolding. Developed in close cooperation with global scaffolding provider AT-PAC, the new product lines are tailored to the practical needs of today’s construction sites – from high-load applications to public access, façade works, and complex geometries.

Rising costs, growing demand for affordable housing, and an acute shortage of skilled labour, combined with stubbornly low productivity, is putting the construction industry under pressure. To support a more productive future, Doka, a technology leader in the formwork sector, is evolving automation for the construction sector. At bauma 2025, the company is showcasing its latest innovations in robotics, sensor technology and automated climbing formwork, which are setting new standards for safer, faster, and more efficient building sites.
