OVERALL PERFOMANCE

 

Originally the company name was P.T. ESSAR DHANANJAYA was established in September 1993 with an authorized capital of US$ 75,000,000 and an issued capital of US$ 25,000,000 of which US$ 2,500,000 was paid up. The founding shareholders of the company are ESSAR GUJARAT LTD., of India and P.T. GARAMA ADIPRATAMA, a national private company. In December 1993 the company's issued capital of US$ 25,000,000 was paid up in full.  In July 1998, the issued and paid-up capital was raised to US$ 28,000,000. By the same time ESSAR GUJARAT LIMITED of India pulled out and replaced by ESSAR STEEL LIMITED of India. The deed of amendment was made by Mr. Rahman Arie Soetardjo, SH., a public notary in Surabaya under Company Registration Number C-17377 HT.01.04.TH. 1999, dated October 8, 1999.

 

In April 2005, the name of the company changed to P.T. ESSAR INDONESIA (P.T. EI). But, the amendment of its latest articles of association is under process at the Department of Justice and Human Right. Reportedly, the shareholder of P.T. EI namely ESSAR STEEL LIMITED the second largest steel producer in India will merge with ISPAT STEEL of India also known as the largest steel producer in India.

 

P.T. EI is sheltered under the ESSAR Group, a major business group of India. The majority business stakes of the ESSAR Group is controlled by Mr. Shashi Ruja and his family members. We note that the local partner, P.T. GARAMA ADIPRATAMA, is a member of the GARAMA Group, a small Indonesian business group headed by the late of Mr. Ir. Gunadharma Hartarto MBA and his younger brother Mr. Ir. Erlangga Hartarto (44), both the sons of Mr. Dr. Ir. Hartarto Sastrosoenarto, the former Coordinating Minister for Trade and Industry.

 

P.T. EI operates under Foreign Investment (PMA) facilities in the cold rolled steel coil/sheet manufacturing industry. Its plant is located on a some 14.0 hectares land area in the Bekasi Fajar Industrial Estate, Industri III Area Kav. B-I, Cibitung, Bekasi, West Java. The plant had been operating since September 1997 and had been expansion frequently to increasing production capacity. The plant has absorbed an investment of US$ 176.0 million coming from owned capital of US$ 47.0 million and the rest from loans. It used the ESSAR LIMITED technology of India. Firstly the whole products are marketed locally, but since mid-1998 the company attempted to export some 50% of the products to Bangladesh, Vietnam, USA, Sri Lanka, Canada, Malaysia, Philippines and other countries. Steel products produced by the company among others are tinplate, drums & barrels, automobile components, precision tubes, galvanized and others. P.T. EI’s operation is also backed by the ESSAR Group of India, a big size business group in India which has succeeded to develop extensive business network in several countries. The ESSAR Group’s business operation is including shipping, power plant, steel, financial and others. We observed that the company’s operation has been growing in the last three years.

     

Generally outlook, the steel industry in Indonesia has kept on declining since end 1997 under the impact of economic crisis battering Indonesia. The crisis caused the demand of steel products to drop because property sector, steel construction sector, automotive and other sectors using steel in the country have been in sluggish. Until mid of 2001, the local demand for steel products remained weak and estimated to continue sluggish until the end of this year. The large number of other similar companies operating in Indonesia also led to fierce competition. We observed that P.T. EI’s business position is still quite good in line with the increasingly growing of its export market in the  last three years.                                          

 

Until this time P.T. EI has not been registered with Indonesian Stock Exchange, so that they shall not obliged to announce their financial statement. We observed that total sales turnover of the company in 2003 is US$ 84.5 million increased to US$ 86.0 million in 2004 and to US$ 87.0 million in 2005 and it will be higher by at least 8% in 2006. The operation in 2005 yielded an estimated net profit at least US$ 5.2 million and the company has an estimated total networth by at least US$ 140.0 million. We observe that P.T. EI its financially strong being backed by foreign partner ESSAR Group of India. With strong and sound financial condition. So far, we have never heard of the company having been black listed by the Central Bank (Bank Indonesia). The company usually pays its debts punctually to suppliers.  

 

P.T. EI’s management is led out by Mr. K.B. Travedi (48). He is a professional manager of the foreign partner, ESSAR Group. In his day-to-day activities, he is assisted by a marketing general manager namely Mr. V. Shidhar, a professional manager also from the ESSAR Group with broad experience in his field. We observed that management’s reputation in said business is fairly good. The company has had wide relation in the realm of the private businessmen inside and outside the country. Their relation with the government is fairly good. So far, we have never heard that the company’s management involved in a dirty business practice or detrimental cases that settled in the country. The company’s litigation record is clean and it has not registered with the black list of Bank of Indonesia.

 

 

PT. ESSAR INDONESIA is fairly good for business transaction. However, in view of the unstable economic condition in the country we recommend to treat prudently in extending a loan to the company.
