Built for Africa

Formwork that works where your project is

Africa is building power stations, bridges, silos, reservoirs, mines and high-rise developments. Pre-Form Global exists to serve that growth with formwork systems engineered for demanding conditions and delivered with the discipline our group has honed on major South African projects.

We understand the demands on time, quality and cost, and we understand what it takes to move equipment and materials across borders and into remote sites. We also supply complete packages for monolithic construction, from mass-housing cells to watertight tanks and reservoirs.

  • Cross-border logistics and customs experience

Our Heritage

Born from Pre-Form, passionate about concrete

Pre-Form Global is the international supply arm of Pre-Form (Pty) Ltd, one of Southern Africa’s recognised leaders in the design and manufacture of formwork and scaffolding, based in Pretoria, South Africa.

The group has manufactured formwork for almost four decades and exported it by the container since 1990, building partnerships with key European suppliers along the way. Pre-Form Global focuses on what travels best: supplying those proven systems, and the engineering behind them, to international projects with a genuine passion for concrete.
