About MEVA
MEVA Schalungs-Systeme GmbH was founded in 1970 in Haiterbach in the Black Forest and is an independent, family-owned company for formwork technology. The company manufactures modular panel formwork systems, aluminium hand-set formwork, large-area formwork such as Mammut, and slab formwork such as MevaDec, supplemented by customised special constructions. The systems are manufactured at the company's own production site in Haiterbach (Plant I) from aluminium and steel; since 2000 the wood-free alkus all-plastic formwork sheet has been used as the formwork skin. Plant II handles cleaning and refurbishment of used formwork, Plant III special constructions, and Plant IV the storage of used formwork. In addition to production, MEVA offers rental, formwork design and training. With annual revenue of over €130 million and more than 40 locations worldwide, MEVA supplies the construction industry and concrete construction.
