DOKA has completed the acquisition of US-based scaffolding manufacturer AT-PAC.

The two firms initially teamed up in 2020 to provide global site solutions. Doka said the  acquisition positions the business as a ‘single source’ for formwork and scaffolding for the construction industry and strengthens the company’s new business segment, ‘Industrial Scaffolding’. For AT-PAC the move provides access to a global market.

The potential for cooperation between the businesses was demonstrated at bauma 2022 in Munich. Doka and AT-PAC highlighted their partnership with a dual-branded stand that was visited by over 100,000 people.

Robert Hauser, CEO of Doka, said, “I am very enthusiastic about the opportunities that will be offered to existing and future customers, providing them with a wealth of knowledge, integrated products and turnkey solutions for formwork, shoring and scaffolding from a single source.”

Josh Dundon, previously COO, has been announced as the new CEO of AT-PAC. He added, “It is an exciting milestone for AT-PAC to become 100% part of the Doka and thus the Umdasch Group family. It further strengthens and demonstrates the success of our partnership since its inception three years ago.”
