New York's 432 Park Avenue Tower, at 426 meters the highest residential building in the western hemisphere; a tunnel more than 1.1 km long underneath the Elizabeth River; the reconstruction of the World Trade Center and the highest bridge in Virginia: only some ongoing construction projects in the US where the Doka Group is contributing products and services made in Austria. High-performance formwork systems with automatic climbing technology for challenging high-rise builds, made-to-measure free cantilever travellers for bridge-building and innovative tunnel formwork all figure largely in the extensive competence portfolio of the family-owned company from Austria. With expertise amassed in decades of industry experience and its path-breaking formwork solutions, the Doka Group now does business in more than 70 countries around the globe.

Skyscrapers soar higher and higher, and the Doka Group's US business has also been developing steadily upward over recent years. It's a success story that dates back to the mid-1990s. "Our entry into the US market almost 20 years ago was a key part of our strategy of international expansion and the right decision to take. That's proved by the increasing demand for our products and services and the continuing growth rates. The construction industry in the USA has recovered perceptibly and the outlook continues positive. We can extract above-average benefit from investment in the construction sector and the 2014 increase in turnover on the US market is a good two-figure entry", as Dr. Andreas J. Ludwig, Executive Officer Doka Group Engineering & Production, is pleased to report.
