Innovative Solutions to be Unveiled at bauma 2025
At bauma 2025, Doka, together with parent company Umdasch Group, will present more than 40 pioneering innovations in formwork, scaffolding, and other key areas covering the lifecycle of a building object. Visitors to the 5,300 m2 exhibition space (booth FN.420 – FN.423) will experience new technologies, products, and materials designed to drive efficiency and boost productivity on the job site, with the aim of making concrete construction fit for the future. “We cannot build the future with yesterday’s methods,” said Robert Hauser, CEO of Doka. “The construction industry is facing enormous challenges – above all, it must overcome its productivity stagnation. While we are just one part of the bigger picture, we are committed to creating real value within our field. Through new technologies and, most importantly, the consistent digitalization of the entire formwork process. Making this possible for our customers must be our ambition – nothing less.” At bauma 2025, Doka will be showcasing more than 40 innovative products and solutions, all designed to help customers boost their productivity. To further highlight its ambitions for the next era of construction, Doka will unveil its vision of a fully digitized formwork process. The focus is on enabling seamless process integration through a connected platform to unlock unparalleled transparency and full control over the entire formwork and pouring workflow, anytime and anywhere. Doka will present Doka LeanForm is a central pre-assembly platform that, just like an assembly line, allows complete formwork units to be assembled at a safe, controlled workstation, before being lifted into place by a crane. This brings numerous advantages, including shorter distances between storage and workspaces, which minimize transportation needs, reduced search and waiting times on the site, and more. Doka will present a glimpse into the future, as a robot will mobilize and place various components in the pre-assembly platform. The DokaXbot Lift has been completely reengineered for bauma 2025. Featuring intuitive ground-level operation, automatic fine adjustments, and compensation for floor unevenness, it now enables the precise positioning of formwork elements up to 5.7 m high, making overhead work safer and more efficient. With the next-generation drive system Doka FormDrive, Doka creates the basis for automated formwork solutions in high-rise and infrastructure construction. The heart of the new system at the high-rise exhibit is a mobile control unit for lifting the climbing system and steering all movements of the wall formwork. This reduces the manual workload while simultaneously increasing safety and productivity. To boost the spread of new, more climate-friendly concrete mixes, Doka has developed an intelligent heated formwork prototype. Through targeted heating, the prototype accelerates the delayed strength development of CO2-reduced concrete, enabling safe and efficient use on site. Integrated digital sensors allow real-time concrete monitoring to further optimize performance on-site. The prototype will debut at the international fair, following successful trials in research projects and on live construction sites. With this technology, Doka is proving that formwork is a key enabler in the transition to low-carbon concrete and the decarbonization of construction sites. “As one of the largest GHG emitters worldwide, the construction industry must evolve,” says Hauser. “CO2-reduced concrete is a key driver of change, and we are committed to supporting a lower carbon construction future, in line with our own ambitious goal of achieving net zero by 2040. We are excited to present our prototype at such an important show.” In 2024, Doka acquired Malaysian-based MFE, the market leader for monolithic aluminum formwork. Now, at bauma 2025, Doka is bringing monolithic formwork technology to the exhibition for the first time, demonstrating its impact on modern, high-speed construction. Doka, together with AT-PAC will showcase new scaffolding solutions designed to enhance efficiency and safety for both construction and industrial customers. These new product lines will be showcased alongside an impressive 30-m scaffolding tower with an integrated viewing platform, a standout booth feature that offers visitors a breathtaking panoramic view of the bauma fairgrounds.
