About
Business Strategy
"Our success in the years to come will continue to depend on the skill of our family and management in reacting to opportunities, whilst continuing with determination, integrity and the principles that have carried us successfully this far" – Lord Paul.
The Caparo group has been built through a combination of acquisitions, organic growth of established businesses and the development of greenfield projects. The Group is particularly proud of the latter, which demonstrates its skill at building technology based steel product companies from scratch, and penetrating export markets.
Under the leadership of Angad Paul, appointed as Chief Executive in 2002, Caparo continues this successful formula for growth. The grouping of independently managed business units, mainly operating in metal and related markets, gives both critical mass and a stable platform for growth. A customer oriented philosophy, striving to provide products, services and solutions of the highest quality at competitive prices is coupled with a lean and flat corporate structure ensuring low overheads and rapid decision making. These key features are at the core of Caparo’s success.
Stategy in Action - Caparo Aluminium
Caparo Aluminium is being developed to become a leading global supplier of high quality, specialist aluminium cast components. Substantial progress to achieve this objective was made during 2006. Two leading UK foundries, Zeus, now renamed Caparo Aluminium Technologies, and Bridge Aluminium have been acquired and work on a new greenfield foundry; Caparo Aluminium Foundries, has started in Chennai, India.
The group has a very strong technical and quality capability with a full range of quality approvals and testing facilities. It has the rare ability of being able to convert an initial idea through design and prototyping to volume production.
