LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History :

 

Incorporated on 5 April, 1988, Hindustan Adhesives (HAL) was promoted L K Bagla and M S Bagla for manufacturing bi-axially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) self-adhesive tapes (cap. : 52 mln sq mtr pa) and BOPP films (cap. : 2500 tpa), at Ghaziabad, UP. The company has state-of-the-art equipment like the acrylic adhesive coating machine, hot melt coating and adhesive making machine and BOPP film making equipment.  

 
The BOPP adhesive tapes are mainly used in the packaging industry. HAL markets these tapes under the brand names Mystic, Stic Me, and Boss Tech, while its major clients include the Jindal group, SIEL, Dabur and Parasrampuria.  

 
The film manufactured by the BOPP film plant is used captively for manufacturing PSA tapes. In 1994, the company implemented its backward integration project for manufacturing bi-axially oriented poly-propylene films. To part-finance this project, the company came out with an issue of equity shares at a premium of Rs 15 in August 1994.  

 
The company has expanded its BOPP film plant by installing another plant of 1300 tpa. The project was funded through internal accruals. During 1999-2000, the company was awarded ASIASTAR' 99 award from the Asian Packaging Federation for developing self-adhesive tear tapes of world-class quality. As the demand for BOPP film products was increasing the company has opened the BOPP film unit which was closed since last 4 years.

 

OPERATIONS 
 
During the year under report : 

 
The Company has turned around and reported Profits after a long period of time due to the focused attention on the Production of Self Adhesive Coated products. The turnover for Adhesive Coated products has substantially increased and the company has also made plans for further enhancement of capacities to produce Packaging Tapes in view of the favorable market conditions. There is general buoyancy in the Indian manufacturing sector and the company sees this as an opportunity to expand the sales and enhance the profits in the years to come. 

 
As before the company restrained from selling BOPP film in the market due to the unfavorable market conditions and limitations of the installed BOPP film plant, but however continued to produce BOPP film for its own consumption. The Promoters are of the firm opinion that the BOPP film produced by it is of a superior quality, for the production of the finished product by the company namely BOPP Packaging Tapes. By consuming its own BOPP film for the finished product, the company commands a premium in the market for the finished product and hence the future strategy of the company is to enhance the finishing facilities by adding Coating capacities and hence also maximizing the production of BOPP film for captive consumption. 
 
During the year the company has also obtained Power connection from UPSEB and installed High Voltage Stabilizers and UPS systems so that the dependency on high fuel cost DG Sets can be reduced and the net power cost of the Company be lowered by utilizing more of State Electricity Board Power as against self-generation. 

 
During January 2006, unfortunately a major fire occurred in the adhesive tape division destroying raw material, working progress, finished goods, to the tune of approximate Rs. 3.783 millions for which Insurance Claim has been filed and the assessment of the same is under finalization, pending with National Insurance Company Ltd., likely to be completed in the current financial year. 

 
CURRENT SCENARIO 

 
The growing sales of Packaging Tapes and Specialty Adhesive Coated products have shown positive results and the company is focusing on these markets. The export sales have also increased by 29% and the Domestic Sales of adhesive coated products by 13%. The partial introduction of VAT last year has also been beneficial for the sales of the company and the complete implementation of the same in the current financial year will further strengthen the company's sales and expand the markets besides reduce unfair competition. The Company is now accredited with both ISO-9001 and ISO-14001 Certifications and commands a greater respect from its customers and this will also help in increasing the sales of the product in the current year. 

 
The expansion of adhesive coating, printing and slitting facilities by installation of additional machines in the current year will add to the sales and profitability of the company in the current year and the company is optimistic of better and more positive financial results in the current year. 

 
The Company has continued to get the support of the Financial Institutions and Banks and with their understanding and support it is hopeful of reducing the interest costs and repayment obligations so as to make them sustainable in view of the operations of the company, and adequately commensurate to the cash generations every year. 

 
FINANCIAL RESULTS 

 
The total income of the Company has increased by 15% in the current year and also the PBIDT has increased by 82% despite loss due to fire. This is an indication of the times to come in the coming year and the company is hopeful of increasing its performance on a year to year basis from the current financial year. The company is also making an effort to reduce the long-term debts by settling one-time the dues of the secured lenders and expects positive results in the coming financial year.
