The story

MEVA was founded in 1970 by Gerhard Dingler. The idea of developing a reusable formwork system led to the company's founding and to the development of the first frame-based, panelised formwork system with a facing integrated into a metal frame, which was named the formwork panel. These panels are produced in different sizes and can be freely combined, hence the name modular formwork system.

In 1971, MEVA presented the first modular panelised formwork system. In 1977, MEVA invented the formwork clamp that connects to panels. A year later, a lighter design of frame with hollow profiles and grooves is presented.

In 1981, the crane-independent formwork system for walls and slabs was marketed. In 1982, MEVA's Mammut wall formwork system was a heavy-duty system with a load capacity of 97 kN/m2. In 1989, MEVA developed the aluminium wall formwork system. In 2000, MEVA created an all-plastic facing design.

In 2012, MEVA's automatic climbing system, MAC, was used on sites in Europe after several years of use in Australia and the Far East.

In 2016, MEVA Mammut XT had flexible single- and two-sided anchoring without additional attachments.
