The parent company of the Caparol Group is the Deutsche Amphibolin-Werke von Robert Murjahn Stiftung & Co KG with its headquarters in Ober-Ramstadt in Germany and it operates in over 30 countries around the world. The success of the international business is not classical export but a model where the rapid interchange of Caparol resources and R&D technologies is matched to local market conditions and local manufacture and selling resources that understand local conditions. In this way Caparol has expanded through Asia (based in Shanghai) and the Middle East (based in Dubai).
