Understanding.
The roots of the business that grew into today’s Doka Group go back
nearly 150 years. Ever since, there has been one concept we value
more than any other: _ Understanding. It drives us, it is our passion and
our secret DNA. We build on our _ Understanding to create the added
value that drives us and our customers to the next level every day.

We are able to look back on a long history of understanding. Listening
intently, understanding the world as seen through the eyes of our
customers, learning to understand all aspects and thinking ahead. We
are passionate about not being satisfied with the first solution that
might get the job done. Rather, we continue fine-tuning it until we
come up with a true benefit for our customers. This is the only way a
small woodworking shop could grow into a globally operating formwork
company known by the brand name Doka since 1956.
A tradition of _ Understanding.
Thinking in terms of
generations.
Based on its aim of making everything
easier, better and more efficient, the
company has continued throughout its
history to set new standards in quality,
functionality and efficiency around the
world. Without losing sight of its clear
focus on its values in the process. For
generations the company has been living
the values of respectful and apprecia-
tive treatment of employees, fair and
transparent customer relationships and
a particularly well-developed sense of
responsibility when it comes to society
and the environment. We build on a long-
term vision, not short-term profits. As a
family business, we have a strong sense
of being connected with our home and
the people in the regions.

Understanding markets.
Truly understanding a project’s individual challenges requires an understanding
of the regional particularities, needs and building methods of our customers’
countries. For this reason, we have established over 160 sales and logistics
sites in more than 70 countries. This way our customers can always be certain
of receiving quick and full support for their projects. For anything from a simple
residential building, a football stadium, a bridge to the world‘s tallest tower. This
is our global strength on which Doka customers can rely locally.

Passionate about solutions
Few connect the Doka brand with a nearly 150-year family history. However, our
customers worldwide benefit from the values that have grown from it: reliability,
experience and trustworthiness. Especially in terms of global competition, our values
provide us with a solid foundation for developing and selling high quality formwork
solutions. From the initial planning through to reliable implementation on site: we help
our customers to build even more efficiently, better and safer. Take us at our word.

We focus not only on products, we focus on construction processes.
How can our customers achieve more with fewer expenditures?
Which detail can be optimised, which formwork service provides
cost savings? These are thoughts running through our heads over
and over again each day until in cooperation with our customers we
developed another innovative solution.

Understanding
construction sites.
Three things are crucial in tough everyday construction site situations:
efficiency, safety and handling – only someone who understands exactly
what happens on the construction site knows how to produce better
products compatible with one another and to continue their further
development. This is something we do based on our construction site
experts and a team of 1,000 engineers.
Smart products
are the foundation for efficiency.

Thinking efficiency –
think of renting as well.
Whether to rent or buy is simply a
question of economics. More and
more customers avail themselves of
Doka Group‘s rental model because
it increases efficiency and flexibility in
addition to serving as an ideal com-
plement for covering peak demands.
No investment, no warehousing, no
maintenance. These formwork products
are always kept up by our service team
and available any time in any quantity
and design.
12
Understanding projects.
Every construction site goes through its own process from planning stage
through to completion. And, the sooner we join the process, the better our
understanding of the project and the more we can improve its efficiency.
We are happy to support our customers in any phase of their formwork
projects. And we provide a single-source for products, services, planning,
project management and logistics. Only a few companies can offer this
understanding of all the many aspects of a construction project.
In good hands in
every phase.
Development of optimal form-
work solutions
Together with its customers, Doka Group
lays the foundation for project efficiency
with thorough analyses, objective risk
assessment, assistance with invitations
to bid, selection of the right formwork,
exact planning and calculation. Seen in
this light, "Engineered by Doka” is the
hallmark of unsurpassed engineering
competence.
Perfectly organised logistics
Delivery and return delivery just-in-time –­
formwork availability is an important fac-
tor for implementing any project on time
and on budget. Any delay costs money.
For this reason, Doka Group created a
worldwide logistics network ensuring
absolute proximity to the respective con-
struction site and offering the requisite
capacities.
On-site coordination of the
construction process
Different requirements for materials and
engineering exist for each country and
each project. This is the reason Doka‘s
central formwork instructors play a key
role on-site. Another way to ensure
professional on-site implementation is
through engineering training to instruct
the site crew in Doka Group products
and their proper use.
Perfect project management is
at the heart of success
In order to create a seamless experience,
Doka project management assists cus-
tomers during the project development
stage, decision-making stage, operations
scheduling, execution and completion of
construction.

Project
management
"Previously our orders for formwork materials
were always compiled after the project planning
stage. Today we take advantage of Doka’s
professional consultation right from the outset of
the project development phase, and thus
achieve significant cost savings. The active
project support from Doka is a real added
value. In conjunction with the latest developments
in the area of formwork construction, we have
been able to set new benchmarks in our building
programme."
Bala Murali Balakrishnan,
Project Manager, Ali & Sons Contracting

particularly resistant coating of the form-
work product surface ensures adequate
protection from the highly alkaline mate-
rial that is concrete. Another example is
timber, a natural material: turning it into a
robust instrument requires a special pro-
cess of multiple crosswise glue-bonding
combined with removal of defects and
subsequent finger-jointing. The same
applies to steel used for our products:
the new CDP dip coating system has
increased coating stability from 150 h
with the traditional coating method to
1,000 h.
Optimising safety and
handling
It is one thing to make working with
formwork ever easier and save more
time as a result. It is quite another to
make working with formwork ever more
safe and therefore more cost-efficient.
Doka‘s response to this insight is
ongoing development of safety products.
One such example is Xsafe plus, a pre-
assembled working platform that can be
folded and equipped with side railings for
wall and column formwork.
Research and
development
As early as 1990, the Doka Group set
up an in-house research and develop-
ment centre. Its staff of more than 100
continuously test new materials and work
on developing innovative products and
services, such as new concrete formulas
or 5D planning. In addition, there is
pathbreaking research and development
work undertaken in cooperation with
universities, senior technical colleges
and research institutes as part of open
innovation processes.
Inspired by the efficiency
factor
Each year we invest in excess of
200,000 labour hours into developing
new products, technologies and services
for Doka customers. The range of work
is broad:
New development and
adaptation
One such example is Doka Concremote
moisture measurement: this technology
not only reduces cycle times, thus re-
sulting in savings of labour and material
costs; it also aids in optimising formu-
lations and purchasing concrete. Apart
from saving significant costs in materials
and rework, using the extended framed
formwork Framax Xlife plus yields time
savings of up to one third.
New technologies
Product life span is a function of the
quality of materials used as well as
careful treatment. For instance, only
"I have been working with Doka formwork for many
years now. What I appreciate most about it, is the
practical application and the functionality of the various
systems and technical solutions. Time and again, Doka
picks up on global trends in the construction industry
and develops systems and solutions that fully meet the
current demands of construction sites."
Štefan Galík, Doprastav Export s.r.o.
Understanding the future.
Keeping things moving forward is something like second nature to us. We are never quite con-
tent with our achievements and are always looking for new approaches. This is the reason we
invest so much time and money – to produce even better results for our customers.
14
Our experts focus in their work on customers in order
to achieve maximum efficiency.
16
Sustainable products and
services
High product quality and maximum pro-
tection against material wear means long
life span and safety. Thanks to ISO 9001
and ISO 14001, all Doka products com-
ply with the most stringent requirements
in terms of quality and environment.
Beyond that, each new product genera-
tion is compatible with the one already in
existence. Compatibility is a prerequisite
for a long product life cycle. Moreover,
an extended product cycle is resource-
sparing in every way and contributes to
positive outcomes in terms of efficiency.
Sustainable business models
Renting instead of buying – a sustainable
model offered by Doka Group to accom-
modate ever more last-minute contract
awards and abbreviated planning cycles.
Along the way, renting also saves resour-
ces such as energy and raw materials.
Doka‘s pre-assembly service is another
opportunity for customers to realise
savings, such as in assembly efforts and
complex work processes. Here formwork
units are tailor-made for the long-term
by combining existing Doka systems with
customized solutions. In addition, Doka‘s
reconditioning service extends the life
span, provides safety and saves time and
money by delivering perfectly functioning
materials.
Sustainable logistics
Logistics is a vital factor for ideal const-
ruction site implementation. Doka Group
plays its part with international logistics
hubs. With their proximity to customers
they ensure high availability as well as
flexible and fast delivery to construction
sites. Furthermore, short delivery paths
reduce CO2
emissions in the long term.
Sustainable training and
professional development
Well-trained employees are not only
smart but above all highly motivated
and solution-oriented workers. This is an
important aspect as construction pro-
jects are becoming ever more complex
and efficiency-driven. This is the reason
Doka Group makes significant invest-
ments in ongoing employee training. It
therefore benefits from aboveaverage
loyalty to the company in the long run.
Understanding sustainability.
Sustainability has many
dimensions.
Everyone talks about sustainability. However, unless lived in real life it
is but a trendy phrase. In our company, we have been actively living
sustainability for many decades because we consider it an important
component of efficiency in construction.
Return-on-Prevention
EUR 2.2 million (+ 120%)
Increased potential for
success as a result of
avoiding accidents
1 mn €
Capital investments
in safety measures
Construction site safety
User safety is another top priority at Doka
Group. This was the reason for establi-
shing Doka Safety, an important initiative
aimed at developing heightened aware-
ness of safety-related issues as part of
comprehensive safety training sessions at
customer sites. After all, safety motivates
construction site workers to perform at
maximum levels and reduces the risk that
in a worst-case scenario the construction
site comes to a standstill. By now studies
provide evidence that: the factor for
calculating "return on prevention” is 2.2.

Understanding
construction sectors.
Competence does not just happen; at Doka, it is created as a result of
daily experiences and concrete insights we gain from our customer’s
projects and then bundle in our Competence Centers. This is how we
get the most out of each and every formwork unit. In particular, when
it comes to highrises, bridges, tunnels, power plants and fair-faced
concrete projects.

  • 3. The roots of the business that grew into today’s Doka Group go back nearly 150 years. Ever since, there has been one concept we value more than any other: _ Understanding. It drives us, it is our passion and our secret DNA. We build on our _ Understanding to create the added value that drives us and our customers to the next level every day.
  • 4. 4 1868 1902 1937 1945 1956 1958 19611873 We are able to look back on a long history of understanding. Listening intently, understanding the world as seen through the eyes of our customers, learning to understand all aspects and thinking ahead. We are passionate about not being satisfied with the first solution that might get the job done. Rather, we continue fine-tuning it until we come up with a true benefit for our customers. This is the only way a small woodworking shop could grow into a globally operating formwork company known by the brand name Doka since 1956. A tradition of _ Understanding. Thinking in terms of generations. Based on its aim of making everything easier, better and more efficient, the company has continued throughout its history to set new standards in quality, functionality and efficiency around the world. Without losing sight of its clear focus on its values in the process. For generations the company has been living the values of respectful and apprecia- tive treatment of employees, fair and transparent customer relationships and a particularly well-developed sense of responsibility when it comes to society and the environment. We build on a long- term vision, not short-term profits. As a family business, we have a strong sense of being connected with our home and the people in the regions. Milestones along a history spanning 150 years Power plant Ybbs-Persenbeug, first use of the name: DOKA "Donaukraftwerk" (Danube Power Plant) "Permit for oper­ ating a carpentry business" appro- ved for Stefan Hopferwieser, great-grandfather of the present-day owners.

With nearly EUR 1.1 billion company turnover is restored to precrisis levels. Acquisition of Conesco in the US.
  • 6. 6 Understanding markets. Truly understanding a project’s individual challenges requires an understanding of the regional particularities, needs and building methods of our customers’ countries. For this reason, we have established over 160 sales and logistics sites in more than 70 countries. This way our customers can always be certain of receiving quick and full support for their projects. For anything from a simple residential building, a football stadium, a bridge to the world‘s tallest tower. This is our global strength on which Doka customers can rely locally. 6
  • 7. Passionate about solutions Few connect the Doka brand with a nearly 150-year family history. However, our customers worldwide benefit from the values that have grown from it: reliability, experience and trustworthiness. Especially in terms of global competition, our values provide us with a solid foundation for developing and selling high quality formwork solutions. From the initial planning through to reliable implementation on site: we help our customers to build even more efficiently, better and safer. Take us at our word. Andreas J. Ludwig, Executive Officer Doka Group Engineering & Production Jürgen Obiegli, Executive Officer Doka Group Sales & Marketing Perfect formwork solutions made in Austria. Whether for sale or rent, Doka Group products for modular use across generations are exclusively manu­ factured in Europe. Production takes place primarily in the central plant in Amstetten. An additional plant is located in St. Martin (AT). Production sites are equipped with cutting-edge and highly automated systems, utilising processes in compliance with the most stringent quality and environmental standards.
  • 8. The construction site as a whole. Understanding. 8
  • 9. We focus not only on products, we focus on construction processes. How can our customers achieve more with fewer expenditures? Which detail can be optimised, which formwork service provides cost savings? These are thoughts running through our heads over and over again each day until in cooperation with our customers we developed another innovative solution.
  • 10. 10 2 5 3 Understanding construction sites. Three things are crucial in tough everyday construction site situations: efficiency, safety and handling – only someone who understands exactly what happens on the construction site knows how to produce better products compatible with one another and to continue their further development. This is something we do based on our construction site experts and a team of 1,000 engineers. Smart products are the foundation for efficiency.

Whether to rent or buy is simply a question of economics. More and more customers avail themselves of Doka Group‘s rental model because it increases efficiency and flexibility in addition to serving as an ideal com- plement for covering peak demands. No investment, no warehousing, no maintenance. These formwork products are always kept up by our service team and available any time in any quantity and design.
  • 12. 12 Understanding projects. Every construction site goes through its own process from planning stage through to completion. And, the sooner we join the process, the better our understanding of the project and the more we can improve its efficiency. We are happy to support our customers in any phase of their formwork projects. And we provide a single-source for products, services, planning, project management and logistics. Only a few companies can offer this understanding of all the many aspects of a construction project. In good hands in every phase. Development of optimal form- work solutions Together with its customers, Doka Group lays the foundation for project efficiency with thorough analyses, objective risk assessment, assistance with invitations to bid, selection of the right formwork, exact planning and calculation. Seen in this light, "Engineered by Doka” is the hallmark of unsurpassed engineering competence. Perfectly organised logistics Delivery and return delivery just-in-time –­ formwork availability is an important fac- tor for implementing any project on time and on budget. Any delay costs money. For this reason, Doka Group created a worldwide logistics network ensuring absolute proximity to the respective con- struction site and offering the requisite capacities. On-site coordination of the construction process Different requirements for materials and engineering exist for each country and each project. This is the reason Doka‘s central formwork instructors play a key role on-site. Another way to ensure professional on-site implementation is through engineering training to instruct the site crew in Doka Group products and their proper use. Perfect project management is at the heart of success In order to create a seamless experience, Doka project management assists cus- tomers during the project development stage, decision-making stage, operations scheduling, execution and completion of construction.
  • 13. Coordination of the construction process with on-site experts Global network of sales and logistics locations Development of optimal formwork solutions Project management "Previously our orders for formwork materials were always compiled after the project planning stage. Today we take advantage of Doka’s professional consultation right from the outset of the project development phase, and thus achieve significant cost savings. The active project support from Doka is a real added value. In conjunction with the latest developments in the area of formwork construction, we have been able to set new benchmarks in our building programme." Bala Murali Balakrishnan, Project Manager, Ali & Sons Contracting
  • 14. 14 particularly resistant coating of the form- work product surface ensures adequate protection from the highly alkaline mate- rial that is concrete. Another example is timber, a natural material: turning it into a robust instrument requires a special pro- cess of multiple crosswise glue-bonding combined with removal of defects and subsequent finger-jointing. The same applies to steel used for our products: the new CDP dip coating system has increased coating stability from 150 h with the traditional coating method to 1,000 h. Optimising safety and handling It is one thing to make working with formwork ever easier and save more time as a result. It is quite another to make working with formwork ever more safe and therefore more cost-efficient. Doka‘s response to this insight is ongoing development of safety products. One such example is Xsafe plus, a pre- assembled working platform that can be folded and equipped with side railings for wall and column formwork. Research and development As early as 1990, the Doka Group set up an in-house research and develop- ment centre. Its staff of more than 100 continuously test new materials and work on developing innovative products and services, such as new concrete formulas or 5D planning. In addition, there is pathbreaking research and development work undertaken in cooperation with universities, senior technical colleges and research institutes as part of open innovation processes. Inspired by the efficiency factor Each year we invest in excess of 200,000 labour hours into developing new products, technologies and services for Doka customers. The range of work is broad: New development and adaptation One such example is Doka Concremote moisture measurement: this technology not only reduces cycle times, thus re- sulting in savings of labour and material costs; it also aids in optimising formu- lations and purchasing concrete. Apart from saving significant costs in materials and rework, using the extended framed formwork Framax Xlife plus yields time savings of up to one third. New technologies Product life span is a function of the quality of materials used as well as careful treatment. For instance, only "I have been working with Doka formwork for many years now. What I appreciate most about it, is the practical application and the functionality of the various systems and technical solutions. Time and again, Doka picks up on global trends in the construction industry and develops systems and solutions that fully meet the current demands of construction sites." Štefan Galík, Doprastav Export s.r.o. Understanding the future. Keeping things moving forward is something like second nature to us. We are never quite con- tent with our achievements and are always looking for new approaches. This is the reason we invest so much time and money – to produce even better results for our customers. 14
  • 15. Our experts focus in their work on customers in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
  • 16. 16 Sustainable products and services High product quality and maximum pro- tection against material wear means long life span and safety. Thanks to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, all Doka products com- ply with the most stringent requirements in terms of quality and environment. Beyond that, each new product genera- tion is compatible with the one already in existence. Compatibility is a prerequisite for a long product life cycle. Moreover, an extended product cycle is resource- sparing in every way and contributes to positive outcomes in terms of efficiency. Sustainable business models Renting instead of buying – a sustainable model offered by Doka Group to accom- modate ever more last-minute contract awards and abbreviated planning cycles. Along the way, renting also saves resour- ces such as energy and raw materials. Doka‘s pre-assembly service is another opportunity for customers to realise savings, such as in assembly efforts and complex work processes. Here formwork units are tailor-made for the long-term by combining existing Doka systems with customized solutions. In addition, Doka‘s reconditioning service extends the life span, provides safety and saves time and money by delivering perfectly functioning materials. Sustainable logistics Logistics is a vital factor for ideal const- ruction site implementation. Doka Group plays its part with international logistics hubs. With their proximity to customers they ensure high availability as well as flexible and fast delivery to construction sites. Furthermore, short delivery paths reduce CO2 emissions in the long term. Sustainable training and professional development Well-trained employees are not only smart but above all highly motivated and solution-oriented workers. This is an important aspect as construction pro- jects are becoming ever more complex and efficiency-driven. This is the reason Doka Group makes significant invest- ments in ongoing employee training. It therefore benefits from aboveaverage loyalty to the company in the long run. Understanding sustainability. Sustainability has many dimensions. Everyone talks about sustainability. However, unless lived in real life it is but a trendy phrase. In our company, we have been actively living sustainability for many decades because we consider it an important component of efficiency in construction.
  • 17. Return-on-Prevention EUR 2.2 million (+ 120%) Increased potential for success as a result of avoiding accidents 1 mn € Capital investments in safety measures Construction site safety User safety is another top priority at Doka Group. This was the reason for establi- shing Doka Safety, an important initiative aimed at developing heightened aware- ness of safety-related issues as part of comprehensive safety training sessions at customer sites. After all, safety motivates construction site workers to perform at maximum levels and reduces the risk that in a worst-case scenario the construction site comes to a standstill. By now studies provide evidence that: the factor for calculating "return on prevention” is 2.2.
  • 19. Competence does not just happen; at Doka, it is created as a result of daily experiences and concrete insights we gain from our customer’s projects and then bundle in our Competence Centers. This is how we get the most out of each and every formwork unit. In particular, when it comes to highrises, bridges, tunnels, power plants and fair-faced concrete projects.
