Our intuitive locking system eliminates the need for carpenters on-site. No binding wire, no nails, no specialized tools—just simple, effective construction.
Unlike wood that warps or metal that rusts, our PP formwork can be stored outdoors in rain or sun without degradation, ensuring year-round reliability.
Cast walls up to 3.6 meters in a single day. Quick assembly and dismantling means faster project completion and earlier revenue realization.
Lower resale value compared to metal formwork means your equipment stays on-site, reducing security costs and project delays.
