LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Biodata

 

PBM Polytex (PPL) was incorporated in Nov.'19 as Petlad Bulakhidas Mills Company. It was taken over by the House of Patodias in 1978. Later, its name was changed to PBM Polytex in October 1986. It is chaired by K K Patodia. Other group companies are Patodia Syntex, Rajen & Company, Brijlal Purushottamdas, etc.  

 
The company came out with a Rs 12.600 millions public issue in March0990 to meet the long-term working capital needs and normal capital expenditure. The company manufactures all kinds of processing yarn, industrial Yarn, hosiery yarn ,etc.

 
 
PPL exports to the US, the UK, Germany, Belgium, Japan, and other countries. To diversify its activities, the company has set up a texturising and filament yarn division in Silvassa. PPL is the co-promoter of Eurotex Industries and Exports -- the first 100% export-oriented spinning unit in the private sector. The company has been winning trophies for exemplary export performances for the last six years from TEXPROCIL. 
 
During the year 1999-2000, the total export performance reached new heights of Rs.722.600 millions i.e 31% higher than the previous year. 

 
To improve the quality of yarn the company is planning to go in for Modernisation of its Power Plant in Petlad Unit. This will minimise production loss and also the quality of yarn will improve. The Petlad unit has got the ISO 9002 Certification for quality standards.

 

Operational Overview

 

The company has been able to maintain its profitability during the year despite steep rise in furnace oil prices, resulting in increased power and fuel cost. The production at Borgaon unit of the company, which was badly affected during the latter half of the previous year on account of illegal strike by the workers, had commenced in the month of April 2005 by sincere efforts of the management.  

 
Management is very vigilant and conscious in upgradation of its plant and machinery of latest technology so as to meet with the needs of the customers. During the year also the company has installed machineries for improving productivity and quality of the product.

 
The increase in fuel prices by about 60% over the previous year alone has eroded the profits of Petlad unit of the company substantially. The management is worried about constantly rising crude oil prices world over and in India. However, costs at other levels were kept in control and all possible efforts were exercised by the management in this regard, which has helped the company in achieving improved financial results.

 
Because of favourable market situations, the company has concentrated more on local market and reduced its dependence on exports market during the year under review.
