Opportunities & Threats.

 

There is a huge potential for export market, since Company has several West European Collaborations with renowned world leaders of these products, viz.

The Company's products are well accepted and hence there is growing potential for export market and Company is all set to exploit this opportunity. The major threat is that we are primarily depended on Automobile Industry, which is fluctuating. However, we are trying to counter this by developing larger share of exports.

Risks & Concerns:

Besides, there is new competition for imported tooling and excessive use of protective coatings to tools. Presently there is continuous rise in the price of High Speed Steel in the International Market, which will adversely affect the cost of raw material. All these risks are continuously addressed in the business plans, functional strategies and management review, and acted upon.  Foreign exchange risks are inherent in export of products, import of raw materials, capital goods, etc. The Company has a well-defined exposure management system to review its exchange exposure and to take appropriate measures to mitigate losses.
