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.

At bauma 2025, Doka, together with parent company Umdasch Group, will present more than 40 pioneering innovations in formwork, scaffolding, and other key areas covering the lifecycle of a building object. Visitors to the 5,300 m² exhibition space (booth FN.420 – FN.423) will experience new technologies, products, and materials designed to drive efficiency and boost productivity on the job site, with the aim of making concrete construction fit for the future.

Doka, a global leader in formwork and scaffolding, has confirmed collaborating with the prestigious Dubai-headquartered real estate developer Binghatti to deliver a series of groundbreaking architectural projects in Dubai. The agreement will see Doka provide formwork and scaffolding solutions for 4 new iconic building projects that, on completion, will reflect the best in contemporary architecture and augment Dubai’s skyline. Binghatti has selected Doka as their main formwork supplier to provide cutting-edge construction technology to realize the multifaceted, visionary architectural design incorporating physics-defying shapes, impressive heights and state-of-the-art building features.

Doka, a global leader in formwork and scaffolding, has become the first company in its industry to commit to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This milestone reflects Doka’s ambition to reduce emissions in line with the latest scientific guidance and contribute to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. By aligning its goals with the SBTi, Doka is positioning itself in the forefront to global effort to decarbonise the construction industry.

Peter Fischer, Managing Director, Advanced Formwork Co. Ltd. (Doka), shares his thoughts about the country’s USD 2.1tn construction pipeline, its evolving landscape, and the importance of early-stage involvement and technological innovation.

Doka, one of the world's leading experts in formwork and scaffolding, has been a reliable partner for years providing digital solutions for increasing efficiency and safety on construction sites. With the introduction of the new DokaXact Load & Pressure sensors in Saudi Arabia, Doka now enables real-time monitoring of the pouring process.

Doka, one of the world's leading suppliers of formwork and scaffolding, is once again demonstrating that it is a pioneer in sustainability by playing a key role in the development of minimum standards for calculating Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) – a milestone for the formwork and scaffolding industry and a further step down the road to decarbonising the construction sector.
