Austria has long been a pioneer in sustainable and high-quality construction. From the historic architecture of Vienna to the modern industrial hubs in Upper Austria, the demand for precision and efficiency is paramount. As the Austrian construction sector (Baugewerbe) faces increasing pressure from labor shortages and rising material costs, Magnetic Formwork Systems have emerged as the "Gold Standard" for precast concrete factories looking to optimize their production lines.
In Austria, the ÖNORM standards dictate strict quality controls for concrete elements. Whether it's producing filigree slabs (Elementdecken) or complex double walls, the traditional method of bolting or welding formwork to the casting table is becoming obsolete. Our magnetic shuttering technology provides a non-destructive, highly flexible solution that perfectly aligns with the Austrian focus on Langlebigkeit (longevity) and Präzision (precision).

The global construction industry is pivoting towards "Building Information Modeling" (BIM) and automated manufacturing. Magnetic formwork is no longer just a manual tool; it is a critical component of the Factory 4.0 ecosystem. For Austrian exporters and local companies serving the DACH region, adopting magnetic systems is essential for integrating with robot-arm placement systems and automated shuttering cleaners.
Our "Factory 4.0" model in China ensures that Austrian partners receive consistent, high-grade Neodymium magnets with optimized steel casings. We mitigate global supply chain risks through strategic raw material stockpiling and agile manufacturing.
By switching to magnetic fixing, precast concrete plants in Austria report a significant increase in daily output. The "Push-Button" activation of our magnets allows workers to secure formwork in seconds, not minutes.
In line with Austria’s Green Deal objectives, our reusable magnetic systems eliminate the waste associated with single-use wooden formwork or disposable fixing components.
As a leading exporter, we don't just "sell magnets." We provide an integrated engineering solution. Our manufacturing facility utilizes advanced CNC machining and automated assembly lines to ensure that every shuttering magnet meets the specified pulling force. For Austrian procurement officers, this means traceability and reliability.
Did you know that the magnetic flux of a shuttering magnet is highly dependent on the thickness of the steel casting table? In Austria, many modern factories use 10mm to 12mm thick tables. Our engineering team provides custom flux-simulation reports to ensure you select the right magnet for your specific table gauge, preventing both "slippage" and "over-magnetization" which can hinder efficiency.
Tailored solutions for precast concrete factories serving the Austria and Central Europe market.
For standard 15-20cm concrete walls, a magnet with 2100kg (4600 lbs) pulling force is highly recommended. It provides sufficient resistance against the hydrostatic pressure of wet concrete while maintaining ease of handling for workers.
Yes, our magnets are designed with standardized adapter holes and dimensions that integrate seamlessly with major European robot-controlled shuttering systems. We also offer customization for specific H-profiles or U-profiles used in Austria.
We use a combination of Neodymium (NdFeB) magnets protected by stainless steel housings or high-quality carbon steel with an electrophoresis or galvanization finish. This ensures resistance against the high pH levels found in concrete and the moisture present in Alpine regions.
Absolutely. We provide 3D CAD models and STEP files of our magnetic systems, allowing Austrian architects and engineers to include them in their digital twins and BIM workflows during the factory planning stage.
QCM Magnet specializes in offering complete magnetic fixing solutions for the production of precast concrete components. Our primary products include Shuttering Magnets and their corresponding accessories, Formwork Magnets, Magnetic Chamfering Strips, and various pre-embedded insert magnets.
Utilizing magnetic fixing in precast concrete component production prevents damage to the platform, enhances work efficiency, reduces labor costs, and promotes economic efficiency as the magnetic fixing devices are reusable. We are willing to share our expertise with you to help you solve your specific application needs for magnetic components in the Austrian market.
