Designed to perform in the region's demanding climate, Caparol's product portfolio reflects its commitment to sustainable, locally relevant solutions. Manufactured in its Dubai-based facility, the range addresses the growing demand for long-lasting, climate-adapted finishes across residential and commercial projects. Its low-VOC, weather-resistant, and design-forward solutions are widely trusted by contractors, architects, and designers across the region.
'The Middle East is a priority region for Caparol, and we are committed to growing our presence across the region, to serve both existing and future customers,' said Dirk Schilmöller, Managing Director Middle East, Africa & Asia. 'With the regional paints and coatings market projected to reach over USD 8.5 billion by 2035, fuelled by a booming real estate sector and rising population, the opportunity ahead is significant. We see enormous potential, not only in offering high-quality paint systems, but in long-term durability, energy efficiency and healthier indoor environments. Caparol will continue investing in innovative, high-performance solutions that meet the evolving needs of our partners and communities.'
Caparol has also doubled its Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) business over the last two years, reflecting a growing regional focus on energy-efficient and thermally insulated building solutions. This reinforces the company's commitment to supporting high-performance, sustainable construction practices.
Caparol's growing project portfolio in the UAE includes high-profile residential, hospitality and commercial developments. The brand has also deepened its support for industry professionals by investing in training, colour consultancy, and technical services to ensure projects are executed to the highest standard.

UAE has hosted more than 17,600 Afghan evacuees since 2021

Almost four years since the Taliban took power following the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, UAE authorities have provided details of how many Afghans it has hosted. The UAE has spent almost Dh1.35 billion ($367.6 million) hosting Afghan refugees before relocating them to other countries since 2021, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement. There have been 17,619 Afghans hosted in Emirates Humanitarian City in Abu Dhabi since there were widespread evacuations after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, two decades after they were toppled by the US and Nato. The assistance covered all the needs of Afghan citizens − including health care, logistical and diplomatic services, communications, shelter and food − ensuring comfort, a dignified life and well-being, said a statement from the ministry released on Thursday. EHC also provided services related to departure procedures, with 17 offices opened for the embassies of the countries to where Afghans were seeking relocation. School transport was also provided, along with on-site education and training courses. Almost 2,600 Afghans benefitted from training and professional development workshops, the ministry added. 'The UAE has spared no effort in assisting the Afghan people, being at the forefront of countries that have initiated support for Afghanistan,' said the ministry. 'This reflects its humanitarian mission, which is based on the values of giving, charitable work, spreading peace and consolidating coexistence, tolerance, and the principles of human fraternity. 'It also promotes solidarity with peoples during the most difficult circumstances and crises facing countries. 'The focus on caring for people and preserving their dignity has been a constant approach in the UAE's journey since its founding, regardless of ethnic, religious, or geographical backgrounds and in line with its noble humanitarian principles. It has become a global symbol of humanitarian giving and sustainable good.' A US news outlet reported earlier this month that the UAE was preparing to send a small number of evacuees back to Afghanistan in July.
