MGB partners with Doka to advance IBS construction solutions
Doka Formwork Malaysia, a subsidiary of global formwork and scaffolding leader Doka GmbH, brings expertise in optimised formwork systems, scaffolding solutions, engineering design, and technical support for cast-in-situ concrete—complementing MGB's strengths in IBS precast concrete, particularly for large-scale residential developments.
Through the collaboration, both parties aim to enhance and integrate their respective technologies, combining formwork and scaffolding systems with on-site precast concrete components such as panels to streamline construction processes and improve efficiency.
They will also explore new opportunities, align technical strategies, and implement forward-thinking construction solutions that deliver tangible performance improvements and long-term value.
The MoC was formalised in the presence of key representatives from both companies, including MGB group executive chairman Tan Sri Ir. (Dr.) Lim Hock San, executive director and chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Lim Lit Chek, Doka GmbH CEO Robert Hauser, and Doka Malaysia country manager Teh Aun Kua.
"By partnering with a global formwork leader like Doka, we are not only enhancing the quality and efficiency of our projects in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia but also reinforcing our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and international excellence. We believe this will lead to stronger project outcomes and long-term value for all stakeholders," Lim said in a statement.
MGB noted that the partnership supports its ongoing efforts to digitise and optimise construction processes, which is in line with Malaysia's transition to a more modern and sustainable industry.
The company's IBS technology has already helped reduce material wastage and improve resource control.
In line with its ESG goals, MGB is also focused on upskilling its workforce—particularly in automation, design, and manufacturing—while continuing to lower its carbon footprint through sustainable practices.
