About MFE

A pioneer in the construction industry

The first and still the best

Vision: To be the world’s most trusted and innovative provider of aluminium formwork and construction technologies.

First established in Malaysia in 1991, MFE is now the world leader in aluminium formwork systems, providing customers with innovative product solutions and unparalleled quality and service.

Using high-grade aluminium alloy to produce lightweight but exceptionally strong formwork panels, MFE developed a formwork system that significantly increases construction speeds and provides substantial cost savings for construction projects.

As the first company in the world to successfully commercialize aluminium formwork for monolithic construction, MFE has since deployed over 2,600 successful projects in over 54 different countries.
