It was established with the objective of playing a leading role in the areas of bulk material handling, coal preparation and mineral beneficiation. 

 

In the year 1968, the company designed, engineered, built and commissioned the country's first coal handling plant at Talcher, Orissa.  In the year 1970, it constructed first mineral beneficiation plant in India at Kadipani, Gujarat and first carbon paste plant built indigenously for Indal.

Birla acquired 24% stake in the company.  In the year 2000, it acquired 90% control over Eroterv-Waagner Biro, Hungary, a world leader in Ash Handling Technology.

 

The company's another technical collaboration agreement followed in 1966 with Kennedy Van Saun Corporation, U.S.A., which gave access to their wealth of experience in the field of minerals processing. Today, the company has the unique distinction of being stewarded by two of India's biggest business houses: the blue-chip Williamson Magor Group and the industry major, G. P. Birla Group.

INDUSTRIAL RELATION


Industrial relations during the period under review have been cordial and the Directors record their appreciation to the workers, staff and officers at all levels for their sincerity and hard work throughout the year.  

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT 

 
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT: 

 
The Indian economy is projected to grow by 8.1% during 2005-06 as compared to 7.5% during the previous year. The Industrial sector remained buoyant with output expected to grow at 9% mainly due to encouraging performance from manufacturing and construction sectors as compared to 8.6% in the previous year. The area of concern is the continued rise in the international price of crude oil.  

 
Standard & Poor's (S & P) and Moodys have raised India's credit outlook from stable to positive on witnessing accelerated economic growth and other factors. 

 
During the year the liberalized external commercial borrowing norms in India have enabled Indian companies to attract International capital for funding future growth projects.

  
OPPORTUNITIES & THREATS


Obviously this growth in infrastructure provides the Company with several opportunities not only for business but for business at more profitable levels even though competition remains substantial. The principal threat remains from the public sector companies, which continue to enjoy purchase preference despite all protestations to the contrary. The other major threat is the inordinate rise in import costs, which adversely affect contract with fixed price. 


 
SEGMENTWISE OR PRODUCT WISE PERFORMANCE

 
The Company is engaged in turnkey projects in infrastructure and related manufacturing activities and therefore the question of segment-wise performance does not arise. 


 
OUTLOOK

Subsidiary Companies

EWB Kornyezetvedelmi Kft. Hungary: a 100% subsidiary of MBE. EWB Kft. is one of the leading ash handling solution providers in the world.

 

Eriez-MBE India Limited. - Bangalore : a 60:40 joint venture company between Eriez Magnetics, USA and MBE. Eriez Magnetics based in Erie, Pennsylvania is the World Authority in Magnetic, Vibratory and Metal Detection applications.

 

EWB Kornyezetvedelmi Kft. – Hungary

 

EWB Kft. is one of the leading Pneumatic conveying and ash handling solution providers in the world and has over 45 years of experience in Bottom ash, coarse ash and Fly ash handling technologies.

 

EWB Kft. originated from Eroterv Power Plant Engineers, a company formed by the Hungarian government to set up power plants on turnkey basis in Hungary and elsewhere in Europe. The Ash Handling Division of Eroterv was formed in 1955. In 1990, Wagner Biro, Austria one of the leading companies in Europe acquired 50% stake in the ash handling division and a new entity Eroterv Wagner-Biro Limited. was created. By 2000, Wagner-Biro increased its stake to 90%. Subsequently, following a corporate decision to hive off the power plant manufacturing business, Wagner -Biro sought to divest its stake in EWB.

 

Subject had a collaboration agreement with EWB since 1997 for setting up ash handling systems in India. When the sale of EWB came up, MBE acquired the shares of EWB from Wagner Biro and thereafter the balance 10% from the government and today EWB Kornyezetvedelmi Kft. is a 100% subsidiary of MBE.

 

Over 75 plants of various types have been executed by EWB Kft. till date employing either the hydraulic wet system or pneumatic dry system. EWB has built plants in Germany, Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Yugoslavia, Romania, Turkey, Greece, Indonesia etc.

 

EWB is a pioneer in the field of Dense Phase Pneumatic conveying systems and has built 40 such plants all over the world.

 

EWB works closely with the Budapest Technical University on technology development and testing. A 30 tph pilot plant is also installed at the University by EWB Kft. to undertake tests on difficult material prior to designing the handling systems.

Eriez-MBE India Limited. (EMIL) is a 60:40 joint venture company between Eriez Magnetics, USA and subject.

 

Eriez Magnetics based in Erie, Pennsylvania is the World Authority in Magnetic, Vibratory and Metal Detection applications. Eriez was started in 1941 by Orange Fowler Merwin, a salesperson for grain milling equipment, as a solution to his customers who often complained about damage to their Milling equipment from Tramp iron. Today Eriez is a USD 100 million company with plants in USA, Mexico, Australia, Brazil, China, Europe, Japan, Mexico and India and manufactures a range of products that may be largely categorized as :

Applications for Eriez products can be found in power, cement, material handling, Mineral Processing, aggregate, coal as well as other sectors as food, ceramics, sugar, flour milling, plastics, glass, pharmaceuticals, etc.

 

Subject were selling agents for Eriez for close to 15 years. As the economy opened and opportunities grew, it was felt a plant that could provide Eriez' products at Indian prices would help immensely in penetrating the market to a greater extent. The agency blossomed into a joint venture and EMIL was formed in 1999. It is engaged in the manufacture of almost the entire range of Eriez products in India while the Bangalore office of MBE takes care of the marketing of EMIL manufactured products.
