Doka Forum
Doka keeps construction companies throughout the world supplied with “Safe, Fast, Efficient” formwork solutions and services. With revenues expected to reach £ 835 million in 2007, and an export ratio of over 90 percent, the Doka Group is one of the world’s premier companies in all areas of formwork technology. Its vigorous international expansion, with new markets being opened up in rapid succession, calls for high-calibre servicing of a growing number of clients, and for continual enlargement and enhancement of its personnel and production capacity. By investing in a new training and exhibition centre, Doka is responding to the great increase in the need for training and instruction among its customers, employees and other interested parties.To continue ensuring both swift availability and top quality on all its formwork products well into the future, Doka is making huge investments in strengthening its sales capacity, and in state-of-the-art production facilities.
The globe-spanning Doka Sales Organisation, with more than 100 branches in over 60 countries, is constantly expanding. Day in, day out, more than 5000 highly committed Doka staff support construction firms all round the globe by giving them the ideal formwork solution in every single case.
For several years now, demand for modern concrete formwork systems has been on the rise on the world market.This is mainly due to the overall growth in construction industry demand, and in a number of markets – to the substitution of system formwork in place of conventional formwork. With its expansion strategy, the Doka Group is working to win extra market share and to boost revenues to well over 1 billion euros by 2010. This growth strategy also provides for a substantial investment budget for expanding both Doka’s worldwide distribution network and its production capacity. To achieve even greater proximity to customers, Doka is determinedly continuing the build-out of its direct sales organisation.
