Pre-Form Global is the international supply arm of Pre-Form (Pty) Ltd: formwork specialists who are passionate about concrete, now supplying projects across Africa and the wider international market.
Pre-Form (Pty) Ltd has spent almost four decades designing and manufacturing formwork and scaffolding in Pretoria, South Africa, and is widely recognised as one of the industry leaders in the field. For twenty of those years the company has also delivered supply-and-erect projects, taking responsibility not just for the equipment, but for the people who put it up.
The group has been exporting formwork by the container since 1990, holds partnerships with key European suppliers, and is South Africa's biggest independent importer of engineer-grade timber formwork panels, plywood, girders and LVL beams. Its systems comply with AFNOR and other European and South African norms, including EN 1065, EN 12813, EN 13377, SANS 0100 and SANS 1062.
Pre-Form Global was created to take those proven systems across borders as a dedicated supply partner. As construction accelerates throughout Africa, contractors need a formwork supplier who understands the demands on time, quality and cost, and who can deliver equipment, documentation and technical expertise to sites far from home. Your teams erect; we make sure they have everything they need to do it well.
Same systems. Same standards. Same passion for concrete. A bigger map.
Formwork determines the finish, safety and speed of a concrete structure. We manufacture and supply to standards we’re proud to stand behind.
We plan formwork around your programme, not the other way round, and we aim to beat the baseline, not just meet it.
On every international project we train and upskill local crews, leaving capability behind long after the last pour.
Formwork and access scaffolding are safety-critical. Our design, documentation and support practices treat them that way, on every site, in every country.
Borders, distance and remote sites are logistics problems to solve, not reasons to say no. We deliver where the project is.
It’s been the Pre-Form way from the start: we genuinely love this work, and it shows in the structures our formwork helps create.
In South Africa, Pre-Form (Pty) Ltd continues to design, manufacture, supply and erect formwork and scaffolding from its base in Silvertondale, Pretoria.
Pre-Form Global carries the same systems and engineering standards into the international market as a dedicated formwork supplier, with a primary focus on the African continent, so a contractor in Accra, Nairobi or Lusaka gets the same proven equipment a contractor in Johannesburg has relied on for decades, delivered with the documentation and technical support their own teams need to erect it.
