About us

The secret to delivering value to customers.

A tradition of thorough understanding

We can look back on a long history of thorough understanding. We listen attentively, see the world from our clients’ perspective, learn to grasp every aspect, and think ahead. We never settle for the first solution that gets the job done. Instead, we continue to refine it meticulously until we achieve an outcome that truly benefits our clients. This is the only way a small woodworking shop could grow into an international formwork company whose Doka brand name has been renowned worldwide since 1956.

Countless construction projects worldwide attest to Doka’s enduring position as a powerful and trusted partner in the building industry. While providing formwork and scaffolding solutions, we deeply understand the challenges our customers face. We understand the keys to construction project success, which is why we approach every job—no matter the scale—with passion. On-site success begins with installing the right amount of formwork and scaffolding at the right time. For us, this is non-negotiable. We continuously refine our solutions, always ready to go the extra mile for our clients’ successful project outcomes.

Fully understand what truly matters

The foundation of today’s forwos traces back over 150 years. Since then, we have consistently prioritized one principle above all else: thorough understanding. This principle drives us; it is our passion and our secret. For only through such thorough understanding can we create added value and help our customers improve every day.

Fully understand the market

To truly grasp the specific challenges of a project, one must understand the regional characteristics, requirements, and construction methods of our clients’ countries. To this end, we have established 160 sales and logistics offices across 58 countries. This ensures our clients’ projects always receive rapid and comprehensive support—whether for simple residential buildings, football stadiums, bridges, or even the world’s tallest towers. This is our international capability, enabling forwos clients to access local support wherever they are.

Fully understand the entire

We focus not only on products but also on construction processes. How can our clients achieve greater returns with less expenditure? Which details can be optimized? Which formwork services can reduce costs? These questions constantly occupy our minds until we collaborate with clients to develop another innovative solution.

Fully understand the construction site

For everyday construction site conditions, three factors are paramount: efficiency, safety, and handling. Only by truly understanding on-site operations can we develop products with enhanced compatibility and drive further innovation. This relies on our construction site experts and a team of 1,000 engineers. Ingenious products form the foundation of efficiency.

Consider efficiency – and consider renting at the same time.

Leasing or purchasing is purely an economic consideration. An increasing number of customers are opting to lease multi-card templates, as they enhance efficiency and flexibility while serving as an ideal complement for meeting the most demanding requirements. No investment is required, nor is storage or maintenance needed. These template products are always maintained by our service team and can be provided at any time based on quantity and design specifications.

Fully understand the project

From the planning stage to project completion, every construction site undergoes its own unique process. The earlier we join this process, the better we can understand the project and enhance efficiency. We are delighted to support our clients at any stage of their formwork projects. We offer a one-stop service encompassing products, services, planning, project management, and logistics. Few companies can provide such comprehensive care for every aspect of a construction project.

Fully understand the construction sector

Strength doesn’t come from nowhere; forwos’s strength stems from the daily experience and specific insights we gain from client projects and distill into our Technology Center. This is how we maximize the effectiveness of every formwork unit. Especially for high-rise buildings, bridges, tunnels, power plants, or exposed concrete projects.
