Caparol

The success of the Caparol Group is largely due to its various core capabilities. For the Professional Business Unit the primary feature in this regard is the high quality standard of the Caparol products. In line with the motto "Experience Caparol quality", our highest quality items are held in high regard as top class paints, both at home and abroad. The special Caparol expertise in the field of building coatings and the consistent combination of product and environmental quality gives our customers competitive advantages on their national markets.

A further decisive success factor is the company's innovative capability. The Caparol Group is the pioneering company of modern, environmentally friendly, water-thinnable, plasticizer-free and non-noxious E.S.F (emission minimised and solvent free) paints. Our interior paint Sensitiv® is the first interior dispersion paint which is free of preservative. With the Caparol Clean Concept® Caparol has implemented the results of a research project lasting many years. The outcome is the especially contamination resistant facade coatings AmphiSilan®, AmphiSilan® Render/Plaster and ThermoSan®, whose application is recommended where dirt and contamination presents a particular problem. The Nespri-TEC System® is a completely new concept for coating facades. With this system it is now possible to apply a specially formulated paint by spraying using the airless method without the problem of unwanted spray mist being deposited on surrounding surfaces and objects. That saves time and labour costs. The mist-free, machine-applied airless spraying of facadepaints has in a short time caused quite a stir in the trade.

A recognised strength of the Caparol Group is the scope of the products with a complete range for all the needs of the decorating trade for the protection and improvement of buildings. The range is subdivided into the business sectors of paints and renders/plasters, enamels and glazes, ColorExpress tinting technology, decorative interior wall technologies, facade insulation technology and building protection. Together with the complementing ranges for wholesale, Caparol is offering the trade unbeatable problem solving expertise, which is supported by professional technical advice and customer proximity in the external sales team.

A special core capability is our range of decorative materials for the innovative, creative and aesthetic design of facades and interiors. Not only the Capadecor range, but also Capapor Facade Profile, Meldorfer Flat Facings, the Lithodecor Natural Stone Light Facade and extra light and thin Lithoboard Natural Stone Elements for interior finishing are examples of this design capability.

Also in this connection it is worth mentioning our main areas of services, such as the ColorDesignStudio and the Planning and Property Service.

The exact and fast tinting ability of Caparol products at the point of sale with the ColorExpress technology is an outstanding field of competence, not only in Germany but also internationally. With this technology Caparol is at the forefront of the latest, localised, computer-controlled machine tinting. A wide range of base materials for paints, enamels, glazes and renders/plasters is available. A modern ColorExpress system is a small paint factory with which colour requirements can be fulfilled a thousand times over, quickly and exactly.

Lithodecor

Lithodecor with its headquarters in Netzschkau/Saxony is a special company for modern facade technology. The Lithodecor products are produced according to a patented method which enables materials and surfaces (e.g. natural stone or glass) to combine like a sandwich with a lightweight concrete substrate with a fascinating visual effect. In this way small or large-format facade elements are produced with a low specific weight and therefore also with low demands on the strength of the foundation.
