Doka is an Austrian manufacturer of formwork and shoring systems, established in 1956 and headquartered in Amstetten, Austria. A subsidiary of the Umdasch Group, the company has grown to become one of the world’s largest suppliers of formwork technology, operating in more than 60 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and the Middle East.

Doka employs over 7,000 people and maintains an extensive network of branch offices, forming centres, and technical support teams to serve contractors on major construction projects globally. The company is particularly well known for its work on high-profile infrastructure and civil engineering projects including tunnels, bridges, and skyscrapers.

Doka’s product range centres on engineered formwork systems for walls, slabs, columns, and complex curved structures, alongside shoring and propping solutions for civil and building construction. The company has increasingly invested in digital construction tools, including planning software and smart sensor technology for concrete monitoring.

Whilst Doka’s primary focus is formwork rather than scaffolding in the conventional sense, its climbing systems and safety platforms are widely specified on high-rise and major civil engineering projects. Doka UK Ltd serves the British construction market with a network of regional depots offering hire, sales, engineering support, and training.
