Caparol Paints, a global manufacturer of German paints and coating solutions, marked its 20th anniversary of successful operations in the Middle East and Africa. 

 

Caparol Paints is bringing its technologically advanced and sustainable solutions suitable to the region for two decades now, a statement said.

 

The company’s celebration of 20 years in the region witnessed augmentation of its operations to the next level by catering to larger interior, exterior and architectural projects across the Middle East and Africa. 

 

Over the last two decades, Caparol has introduced innovative solutions and products that have set new benchmarks in the region’s painting and coating segment. The German technology used in developing these solutions helped Caparol become the most reliable brand in paints and coatings segment across the region, it said.

 

The company celebrated the milestone with a gala event at the MusicHall, Jumeirah Zabeel Saray Hotel at the Palm Jumeirah. The event was attended by over 200 key dignitaries, including Caparol’s global and regional leaders, authorities from Germany and the UAE, key customers and representatives from top infrastructure development companies and patrons from across the region.  

 

“Caparol has always strived to be a trustful partner to customers, employees and stakeholders around the world for more than a century, with a social commitment to create a sustainable future.

Caparol offers a comprehensive product range, attention to detail, years of German tradition and sustainability that determine its core values,” the company said.

Caparol Paints recently rebranded its product packaging with new green buckets with a ‘Go Green’ motto and a new look-and-feel of the products. This is aimed to contribute to the sustainable infrastructure development agenda of the UAE and region. 

 

This helps Caparol remain the market leader in the category of external thermal insulation systems and stone finishes for the past 20 years, since its launch in 1999, said the company. 

 

In the UAE, Caparol has added two experience centres in Dubai and Sharjah. The third experience centre will soon open in Abu Dhabi.
