Doka Asia Pacific is reinforcing its position as a comprehensive provider of formwork, scaffolding, and engineering solutions across the region. Headquartered in Malaysia, the company serves as Doka’s central hub for critical regional operations, supporting Asia’s growing construction landscape spanning infrastructure, housing, and high-rise projects.

“We are committed to providing a versatile network of products, systems, and expertise to support the diverse needs of our customers,” said Pat Gorham, Executive Vice President, Doka Asia Pacific.

Doka’s product portfolio spans wall, slab, load-bearing, climbing, and monolithic formwork systems, complemented by scaffolding and engineering solutions. Its acquisition of MFE Formwork Technology in 2024 expanded its offering in monolithic aluminium formwork, while the integration of Lubeca Jumpform has strengthened its high-rise capabilities.

The establishment of the Innovation Hub Asia marks a major milestone, enabling locally produced and tailored solutions such as the DokaFit Handset and DokaFit Prop. At bauma 2025, Doka introduced Doka 360, a digital platform connecting planning, ordering, and logistics to enhance site productivity.

“Our vision is to be the ultimate one-stop-shop for customers, offering advanced formwork, innovative scaffolding, and comprehensive engineering support,” said Stefan Schedel, Regional Director, Doka Asia Pacific.

Aligned with its net-zero by 2040 goal, Doka has recorded the carbon footprint of over 7,000 products and is the first in its sector to commit to the Science Based Targets initiative.

Founded in 1958, Doka operates in 58 countries and employs around 9,000 people under the Umdasch Group. Its Asia Pacific arm continues to drive innovation, sustainability, and efficiency across the construction sector.
