Caparo Group Snapshot
Caparo Group Limited is so diverse it could supply the steel needed to construct a hotel and then run the hotel, too. It is a holding company with operations in steel products, wire, aluminum casting, fasteners, shipping, hotels, and film distribution. Steel tubes account for most of the company's sales. Its European operations (primarily in Spain and the UK) account for two-thirds of its business, with the US making up the bulk of the remainder. Caparo Group expanded to the US when it acquired Bull Moose Tubes in 1988. Founded in 1968, the group is controlled and operated by the founding Paul family.
