Sustainable formwork panel, partnership and anniversary alkus AG exhibits at bauma 2025

 

In recent years, the issue of sustainability has become increasingly important in the construction industry. alkus AG wants to lead the way. Just like when it was founded 25 years ago, when the company offered a durable alternative to wooden panels with the first formwork facing made of solid plastic that was generally available for practical use. Sustainability is also an important topic at the alkus stand at bauma 2025 (Hall B3, Stand 412). Other focal points include the repair demonstration, the presentation of an innovative lightweight panel for scaffolding applications and the company's 25th anniversary.

At its stand at this year's bauma in Munich, alkus AG will be demonstrating how far it has already come in terms of sustainability. For example, the Liechtenstein-based company is already recycling and reutilizing all production waste in line with zero waste production. "Our commitment in this area is a clear commitment to the goal of minimizing the environmental impact of the construction industry," explains Julian Dingler, Managing Partner of alkus GmbH.

Panel Competence Centre: How the alkus® solid plastic panel is repaired 

This year, alkus AG will also be focusing on live demonstrations. The company has reserved a special area for this purpose. In the so-called Panel Competence Centre, an alkus AG technician will be demonstrating how scratches, holes and even corners and edges of the formwork panel can be repaired in just a few minutes. "Our special repair process ensures smooth concrete surfaces and guarantees the longevity of our formliners," explains Pierre Jäger, Head of Application Technology. "An alkus® panel can be used up to 1,500 times and more. This makes it not only sustainable, but also an economical alternative to wooden panels.”

alkus CD disc: Partner Compoform B.V. represented at the trade fair stand 

Throughout the duration of the trade fair, alkus AG will also be supported at its stand by representatives from its partner Compoform B.V. - a specialist in scaffolding decking, among other things. alkus AG shares a commitment to quality and sustainability in the construction industry with the Dutch company. The two entered a strategic partnership in 2024. Since then, alkus AG has also had a polypropylene scaffolding panel in its portfolio, the alkus CD panel, which will also be on show at bauma 2025. The panel can be used in all common systems and impresses with its lightweight construction. Compared to conventional wooden decking, it saves around 50 per cent in weight and has a UV resistance of over 10 years.

25 years of alkus AG 

To mark its 25th anniversary, alkus AG is planning a special event for key partners and customers during the week of the trade fair. The company was founded in Vaduz/Liechtenstein in 2000. In the same year, the alkus® solid plastic panel went into series production. The innovative formwork panel was then presented for the first time at bauma in 2001, at alkus AG's first own stand, which at the time was only 40 square meters in size. The company is now represented at bauma 2025 with its largest stand to date in terms of floor space.
