About

The Future

An expansion into automotive and aerospace markets, whilst maintaining and developing the steel and engineering business, is a key strategy for the group. This has been highlighted by the launch of the Caparo T1 high performance sports car in 2006, which showcases many of Caparo’s innovative new products and processes in this sector.

The development of Caparo Vehicle Products, a grouping of Tier 1 component design, engineering and manufacturing companies providing advanced solutions to the automotive, aerospace, military and motor sport markets is just one of the key initiatives being developed within the group. Furthermore the creation of Caparo Testing Technologies, a group of businesses specialising in comprehensive Destructive and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services will provide support to the aerospace industry and offer a valuable service to other Caparo group companies. Geographically, Caparo’s plans to create a leading automotive components manufacturing group in India are well advanced.

From an initial joint venture with the major Indian car manufacturer Maruti Udyog in 1994, Caparo have established a wide range of businesses and now operate on 22 sites in India and plans are in place to develop a further 9. Caparo India’s activities will serve not only the regional automotive sector, but also established Caparo customers worldwide where Caparo will continue to provide local service and support, with the benefits of Asian manufacturing.
