Nova formwork has many advantages over the conventional formwork available :

  • EASY HANDLING: is light weight very easy to handle by single labour as well.
  • SUPERIOR FINISH: Gives a Good surface finish of the walls, columns, beams, slabs etc. The surface is smooth, bright and clean, hence cast molding effect is good.
  • REUSABLE : It is re-useable and can be used for more than 100 times * very easily.
  • WATER RESISTANT:  Can be used in fresh and saltwater. It is acid and alkali resistance as well as corrosion resistant.
  • ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY: It is a Green product (even carbon credits can be earned if applied). It can be recycled and reprocessed, so it is environment friendly.
  • MODULAR & FLEXIBLE: It can be used to make different shapes and size formworks. Sizes can be changed very easily as it is modular allowing low inventory.
  • SAFETY: being plastic and light weight allows for safer working conditions avoiding fall hazard during both setup and dismantling.
  • FAST SETUP: The simple mechanics speeds up the assembling and removal operations saving a lot of time.
  • SIMPLIFIED LOGISTICS:

    The demand for the quantity of materials on-site is minimized, as the identical panels can serve multiple purposes such as walls, slabs, shear walls, columns, foundations, pile caps, rafts, and more.

  • LEAKAGE PROOF: No leakage between joints due to its good locking.
  • EASY CLEANING: No need of using shuttering oil if cleaned with water after each repetition.
  • STORAGE: No special storage space required can be stored even in water areas and in open as well.
  • PLASTER COST SAVING: There is no need to plaster as the finish is good.
  • LABOUR COST SAVING: Skilled carpenters are not required; the task can be performed by unskilled individuals under supervision. Additionally, the efficient process saves labor by reducing time requirements.
  • LIGHT WEIGHT: The average weight is around 18 kg per sq. mtr. It possesses exceptional tensile strength, resilience against impact, and durability against wear.

Vikas Kumar Mittal is the founder director of Wonder Moldplast Pvt. Ltd. A second generation entrepreneur, he is associated with the plastic manufacturing domain for the last 20 years. He was born and brought up in Bengaluru and after completing his education, joined his father’s business that was established in 1976. Post his joining into the family business, Vikas was initially given the responsibility of manufacturing plastic raw materials, and within no time he was managing the entire factory singlehandedly, making way for his father and elder brother to concentrate on business expansion.

In 1999, they made a foray into plastic molded furniture. With a passion for innovation, Vikas plunged into the family manufacturing business at full throttle and introduced new products that were well received in the market. Thereafter, he relocated to Delhi to set up a new unit for manufacturing of plastic furniture to cater to the north Indian market. Under his leadership, the company grew manifold and brought out many innovative products that are not just user-friendly and cost-effective but also time and energy saving. Vikas was among the first generation of visionary entrepreneurs who consciously worked towards a greener technology.

Possessed with a strong analytical mindset, Vikas explored opportunities in his domain and pioneered several products. In 2005, he was instrumental in the introduction of plastic corrugated sheets in advertisement and packaging industry. With the boom in the construction industry in 2005, he saw the potential of using good quality plastic formwork to replace traditional plywood. The plastic formworks could reduce labour cost, time and improve quality of construction and was therefore, very viable in the construction site. After several years of research and development and some failed attempts, he tasted success in 2011 when he launched Nova plastic formwork system which could easily give more than 100 repetitions. Vikas is focused on establishing his mission of having Nova’s footprints across India, and at least 30 other countries across the globe.

Vikas Kumar Mittal is a man of strong values and integrity. He believes in giving back to the society and regularly contributes to various charitable trusts. He is also actively associated with Round Table India, an NGO that builds schools for the underprivileged sections of society. Vikas aspires to make the world a better place and is ready to do his share for the same.
