Family-owned with a history of more than 150 years, the Umdasch Group fully appreciates the classic values of corporate sustainability: reliability, trust, responsibility.
With about 8,300 employees and over 170 sales and logistics facilities on 5 continents, the Group has come a long way from its early days in its home town of Amstetten in Austria. A global perspective is essential for international success. So too are orientation toward world markets, flexibility and dynamism, and a willingness to change. All combined they are a tremendous success factor. Successfully combining them all is a huge challenge.

Umdasch Group in Covid year 2020 - stable result in spite of decrease in revenue
The Umdasch Group is an umbrella organisation with three companies.
Doka is a world leader in providing innovative formwork, solutions and services in all areas of construction. The company is also a global supplier of well-thought-out scaffolding solutions for a varied spectrum of applications. For cast-in-place concrete construction the portfolio covers everything from the world's most complex construction projects to classic single-family housing builds. It is a field that calls for specific engineering expertise just as much as innovative technology and decades of experience. 90 % of Group business is non-domestic, so the focus is sharply international. Digitalization is a major focus for Doka: offering products and services that make its customers' projects more efficient and economical, as well as making construction processes more transparent and sustainable, is a declared goal of Doka
Umdasch The Store Makers is a specialist in the field from which it takes its name. Consulting and project management make the company an important partner for trade and commerce – particularly whenever the need arises for innovative concepts combining classic business and digital trade.
Umdasch Group Ventures deals with new technologies in construction as well as in retail. The company engages actively in models for optimizing a construction project along its entire life cycle. By participating in or initiating research and development projects, through supporting technology start-ups and by acquiring companies that specialise in pioneering methods.
The Umdasch Group forms the holding company for the three operating divisions Doka, umdasch The Store Makers and Umdasch Group Ventures. Its mission: the sustainable development of the entire company group through profitable growth. The holding plays a strong leadership role in this respect.
Dr. Wolfgang Litzlbauer will take over as President and CEO of the Umdasch Group on July 1, 2021, and thus the challenge of leading the global group into a promising future.
In 2018, the Umdasch Group decided to consider sustainability as an integral part of its corporate strategy. This means that the relevant operational processes of its divisions will be reviewed and successively adjusted with regard to their sustainability. This takes into account economic, ecological and social aspects in equal measure. Since 2019, the company has been reporting not only financially but also non-financially with the Integrated Annual Report.
The Umdasch Group is one of the most tradition-rich family-owned companies in Austria. Its roots extend all the way back to 1868. Nowadays full use is made of metal and innovative composites, but wood is the material that shaped the character of the company.
It is our conviction that the world would be a better place if everyone had equal educational opportunities. A well-founded, broad-based education followed up by specialisation in a field that suits the individual's interests and talents lie within our responsibility for society and are the key to our future competitiveness as a company.
