As per website

 

AMALGAMATED Bean Coffee Trading Company Ltd (ABCTCL) is in the process of buying back the 30 per cent strategic stake that the private equity player American International Group (AIG) had picked up in the coffee major in 2002, Mr V.G. Siddhartha, Chairman, ABCTCL, said.

While stating that ABCTCL had already begun the buy back process, Mr Siddhartha told Business Linethat the company had decided to go ahead with the buy back plan, given that ABCTCL saw huge potential in the coffee business. AIG had invested close to $15 million in ABCTCL.

According to Mr Siddhartha, funds for expansion of ABCTCL's liquid coffee chain, Café Coffee Day, would be managed through internal accruals.

He indicated that funds would not be a problem, given that ABCTCL has 10 coffee estates across 5,000 acres of coffee plantation, in addition to sales in excess of 2,000 tonnes per annum.

According to Mr Siddhartha, ABCTCL has planned an investment of close to $20 million over the next three years, and with annual growth of about 25 per cent.

Café Coffee Day currently has 136 outlets in 33 cities, and ABCTCL has targeted 200 cafes by June 2004.

The company's smaller format cafes - by the name of Coffee Day Xpress - would be increased from 59 currently to 100 by March 2004, Mr Siddhartha said.

Also on the expansion agenda is Café Coffee Day's plan to foray into overseas markets such as China, West Asia and the Asia Pacific region, over the first quarter of the fiscal 2004-05.

The chain plans to set up about 50 outlets in 10 locations overseas. The expansion would be done through a new subsidiary company, Mr Siddhartha said.

In the packaged coffee segment, ABCTCL made a recent foray with its Fresh n Ground brand, beginning with Bangalore. Mr Siddhartha said that the company's recent distribution tie-up with GlaxoSmithkline would boost its distribution for packaged coffee.

Meanwhile, Mr Siddhartha indicated that ABCTCL was open to the idea of entering into a strategic alliance with the Starbucks coffee chain, which is expected to stage an entry into India shortly.

He, however, did not divulge details of the nature of the deal ABCTCL could consider entering into with Starbucks.
