KUALA LUMPUR, MGB Berhad, the construction and property development subsidiary of LBS Bina Group Bhd, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Collaboration (MoC) with Doka Formwork Malaysia Sdn Bhd to jointly develop cutting-edge engineering solutions using Industrialised Building System (IBS) precast concrete components.
Doka Formwork Malaysia—a unit of global formwork and scaffolding specialist Doka GmbH—will bring its expertise in advanced formwork systems, scaffolding, engineering design, and cast-in-situ concrete support to complement MGB’s established strengths in IBS for large-scale housing projects.

The collaboration will focus on integrating Doka’s systems with MGB’s on-site precast concrete elements to optimise construction workflows, improve project efficiency, and enhance build quality. The partnership also aims to align technical strategies, explore new growth opportunities, and implement forward-thinking construction practices.
The MoC was inked in the presence of MGB group executive chairman Tan Sri Ir. (Dr.) Lim Hock San, CEO Datuk Lim Lit Chek, Doka GmbH CEO Robert Hauser, and Doka Malaysia country manager Teh Aun Kua.
Lim said the partnership with Doka not only boosts MGB’s capabilities in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia, but also reinforces its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and global standards.
“This collaboration will elevate our project delivery and long-term value creation for all stakeholders,” he noted.
MGB added that the alliance supports its broader mission to digitise and modernise construction processes, in line with Malaysia’s push toward a greener and more efficient industry. The company’s IBS technology has already yielded reductions in material waste and improved resource management.
As part of its ESG strategy, MGB is also investing in workforce upskilling—particularly in automation, design, and manufacturing—while continuing to lower its environmental impact through sustainable practices.
