Business

MEVA designs, constructs, produces and markets frame formwork systems for all types of in-situ concrete applications in the building industry. MEVA’s product portfolio is completed by the company’s service and consulting packages for formwork users.

History

MEVA was founded in 1970 by Gerhard Dingler. The idea of developing a formwork system that would be re-usable led to the company’s foundation and to the first frame-based panelised formwork system with a facing integrated into a metal frame, the so-called formwork panel. The panels are produced in different sizes and can be freely combined, hence the name modular formwork system. In the course of its history, MEVA developed several innovations, part of which have become standard features in the industry.

The milestones:[1]

  • 1971 – MEVA presents the first modular panelised formwork system.
  • 1977 – MEVA invents the formwork clamp that connects panels tightly and firmly.
  • 1978 – The frame with hollow profiles and grooves is presented. It is lighter than previous frames, supports a higher fresh concrete pressure and is easier to clean as no dirt can enter the closed hollow profiles.[2]
  • 1981 – The first crane-independent formwork system for walls and slabs is marketed.
  • 1982 – MEVA’s Mammut wall formwork system is the first heavy-duty system offering a fresh concrete load capacity of 97 kN/m².
  • 1989 – MEVA develops the aluminium wall formwork system.
  • 1992 – The crane-independent MevaDec slab system offers 3 methods for all types of slabs.
  • 2000 – MEVA presents the first all-plastic facing and is the first formwork producer to use this kind of facing in all formwork systems. Contrary to wooden facing, the all-plastic facing lasts as long as the panel frame, can be cleaned with high-pressure cleaners and repaired with identical material on the construction site and delivers a consistently high-quality concrete surface. MEVA’s all-plastic facing alkus [3] comes with a 7-year long term warranty that so far has never been claimed.[4]
  • 2012 – MEVA’s automatic climbing system MAC is used on sites in Europe after several years of use in Australia and the Far East.[5]
