LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Shalimar Paints Limited, a company primarily incorporated by British entrepreneurs under the name Shalimar Paint Colour & Varnish Company in 1902 to takeover the business of 'The Shalimar Works', a company which manufactures paints, colour and varnish from its factory at Shalimar and Goabaria in Bengal. It is having plants in Howrah (West Bengal), Nasik (Maharashtra) and Sikandrabad, Dist. Bulandsahar (Uttar Pradesh). 

 
Courtalds Coatings, UK was the holding company and it holds majority shareholding through it's subsidiary International Paint Company, UK. It became a private limited company in 1956 and later on in 1961, it was converted into a public limited company. The company acquired its present name in 1963.  

 
Courtalds slowly started disinvesting since 1978 and finally in 1989, it fully disinvested its stake and maintained only its technical and marketing collaboration with the Indian company till 1994. The Courtald's stake was acquired by G Jhunjhunwala, a HongKong based NRI (20%) and the Delhi-based O P Jindal group (42%). 

 
The company has three product segments - industrial, marine and architectural paint segments. It also manufactures varnishes, resins, etc. The company has two manufacturing units one at Howrah, West Bengal and the other at Nashik, Maharashtra. 90% of its raw materials are obtained from Kerala Mining and Materials (KMML). 
 
The company diversified in 1993 into aviation coatings. It also launched a premium range of wall finisher - Hussain Collections - in the decorative sector. It also entered into a technical collaboration with Salchi, Italy to manufacture solvent borne industrial paints. A joint venture company, Grace Shalimar (P) Limited, has been formed with W R Grace & Co, to produce 2000 tpa of packaging coatings for which a new plant will be set up at Nashik. 

 
In 1999-2000, the company introduced two new products, MELA, an acrylic distemper and XTRA, a premium 100% acrylic exterior finish paint. In 2000-01, the company has entered into a tie-up with Creanova, a world leader in colorants and in 2001-02 the company launched colour tinting system business under the brand name of Color Space. Several new products including Roadcoat, Shaktiman were introduced during 2001-02.

Review of operations 

 
The Company's performance in the year under review has been quite satisfactory. Sales have increased from Rs. 2180 Millions in 2004-05 to Rs. 2480 Millions, an increase of about 14%. The growth in sales has come from both the decorative and industrial segments with the industrial segment performing particularly well. However there has been severe volatility in raw material prices. 

 
The Company has laid special emphasis on sale of high value products and on improving operational efficiencies. In view of the steps taken by the Company, in spite of increase in raw material prices, the PBIDT has increased by 36% from Rs. 79.200 Millions to Rs. 108.100 Millions. 

 
The Company's borrowing costs have gone up due to hardening of interest rates, particularly on foreign currency loans and also higher utilization of working capital funds for financing increased volume of sales. The overall finance costs have increased from Rs. 17.800 Millions to Rs. 29.200 Millions. 

 
With the improvement in the operating margins the profit before tax has increased by 63% from Rs. 30.700 Millions to Rs. 50.000 Millions In view of increased demand from both the housing as well as the industrial sectors, the Company is poised for significant growth in the coming years. 

 
Technical collaboration with KCI 

 
The Company has signed a technical collaboration agreement for coil coatings with Kunsul Chemical Ind. Co. Limited, Korea. KCI is one of the largest paint manufacturing companies of Korea and is a leader in PCM coatings. 

 
With the signing of this agreement Shalimar is making an entry into the fast growing coil coating market.
