OPERATIONS:

 

VHmm Glass:

 

This Division manufactures world class Amber Glass Bottles for the Pharmaceutical Industry. Over one million bottles are manufactured every day on four fully automatic production lines. The year under review was a difficult one for Vitrum Glass. Though turnover was higher compared to the previous year margins were under pressure due to increase in cost of inputs which could not be passed on to the customers. Vltrum's glass melting furnace was built in 1995 and is now due for rebuilding. Furnace rebuilding along with major overhauling of machinery and equipment is scheduled for October '06. However, the market is currently improving.

 

EMPIRE MACHINE TOOLS – MFTM (Metal Forming, Testing & Metrology):

 

This Division is engaged in agency business covering sales, execution and service support of hi-tech machines in Metal Forming, Metrology, Assembly Lines, Welding, Melting, Heat Treatment and Process Consultancy. Demand for integrated solutions is increasing from customers. Local sourcing for turnkey jobs is becoming a new area of activity. Higher investment in automobile sector is opening up new opportunities. This Division has done well and is expected to repeat its good performance in the current year as well.

 

EMPIRE MACHINE TOOLS – MCAT (Metal Cutting S. Allied Technologies):

 

Due to focus on high value orders, majority of business is procured from Public Sector Undertakings and the Automotive Sectors. There has been an upswing in the investment in the Automobile Ancillary Sector. The investment climate in the areas in which this Division is operating is good. Backlog of Orders is healthy. Whereas competition continues to be stiff, the Division has succeeded in increasing its market share. This Division has achieved excellent results which will continue in the current year.

 

Empire Chemicals:

 

Empire Chemicals Division operations continued to focus on Pharma Intermediates, APIs and Fine Chemicals. The Pharma industry went through some degree of uncertainties owing to government moves on regulation. Government had also initiated moves on a changed interpretation for the basis of Excise Duty calculation and also towards declaring MRP inclusive of local levies. These moves tended to act as dampeners for an industry poised for aggressive growth. During the year, Empire Chemicals succeeded in concluding arrangements with some major buyers for their long term monthly purchases and the impact will be felt during the current year.

 

Empire Instrumentation:

 

This division deals with high value Medical Equipments in Radiology, Cardiology, etc. This year the division has been able to procure good orders, but with lower margins, but is poised to post high revenues in the year ahead. With a wider market coverage and emphasis on government customers in the North, they hope to achieve major success in the coming year.

 

Empire Industrial Equipment:

 

This division has been continuously performing well and as the market is good, the growth of this division will be sustained. Automobile industry is bullish, Oil & Gas sectors are in investment mode, and the Steel sector is expanding. Looking at the above market conditions, the Division is expected to perform better.

 

The Empire Institute of Learning:

 

This Division will be closed by July 2006.


 

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE:

 

Capital Expenditure incurred during the year amounted to Rs.74.4 millions as against Rs.87.8 millions in the previous year. The major Capital Expenditure of Rs.28.1 millions was incurred towards the proposed rebuilding of the furnace and Rs.19.4 millions for developing the Lower Parel property of the Company for the purposes of offering the same-on Leave & License basis to banks/multinational companies. At present, the Company has entered into Leave & License Agreements with ABN AMRO Bank Central Enterprise Services Private Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of ABN AMRO Bank, ICICI Bank Limited, Maersk India Private Limited, Saurer India Private Limited, Television Eighteen India Limited, Turner International (India) Private Limited And ABN AMRO Bank N.V.
