LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

HISTORY :

 

Subject was incorporated in the UK in the year 1905 to take over the business of Venesta Limited, UK which was operating a factory at Kamarhati in Calcutta for manufacturing plywood boxes and subsequently aluminium foils.

 

Subject was incorporated in 1960 under the Indian Companies Act and operated as the Indian Branch of India Foils Limited, UK.  In 1977, the Indian business of India Foils Limited, UK was taken over by India Foils Limited and it became a public limited liability company.  In 1978, a public issue of equity shares was made and as a result of which the company became widely held with India Foils Limited, UK holding a 74% stake.  In 1985, the ownership of the company changed and India Foils Limited became an associate company of the Williamson Magor Group. In 1984 and 1987, India Foils Limited made two rights issues and the foreign shareholding was reduced to 39.99%.

 

The company is the largest manufacturer of aluminium foil in India and a member of the Williamson Major group.

 

The company also manufactures aluminium foil at its mother plant at Kamarhati, West Bengal which has an installed capacity of 19000 tpa and produces laminated flexible packages at Taralata factory. It has a technical collaboration with Pechiney Rhenalu, France.

 

During 1995-96, the company commissioned an European coating-cum-lamination machine at Heora, West Bengal, and achieved 90 % capacity utilisation manufacturing international quality foil.

 

The company expanded and modernised its production capacity of aluminium foil during 1996-97. The company also replaced old machinery with state-of-the-art equipment. Company’s Kamarhati, Taralata and Hoera factories have received ISO 9002 Certification and plans to obtain ISO 14000 certification for all its units.

 

BUSINESS :

 

The company is one of the largest producer of Aluminium Foil in Asia. A force to reckon within the field of aluminium foil manufacturing, the company was born as Venesta Limited in Kamarhati, near Kolkata, on the bank of the river Hooghly in 1905.

Strategic Alliance With Sterlite Group :

 

The company has entered into a strategic alliance with the Sterlite Group consequent upon which The Madras Aluminium Company Limited (MALCO),  a Group company of Sterlite acquired 38.80%  of shares in the company. 

 

Consequent upon the subscription agreement, The Madras Aluminium Company Limited has been allotted 11000000 equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a price of Rs. 23.50 per share and 10% of 10000000 warrants with an option to convert the same into equal number of equity shares of Rs. 10 each at a price of Rs. 23.50 per share.

 

During the year under report, the company had already developed and started marketing a wide range of extrusion coated laminates, ultra light gauge foil and laminates and cold formed laminates for packaging of pharmaceutical formulations.

 

The company operates within a framework dictated by an effective quality policy which has as its corner stone the promptness to deliver world class service and provide optimum customer satisfaction.

 

Ensuring continuous improvement of product quality through feedback, analysis, innovation and corrective measures,  the company implement and maintain a Quality System Standard as per ISO 9002, amended from time to time.

 

The company introduced new products and applications in India and to compete in the international markets, the research and development has been reinforced. The research and development has been set up with latest instruments, such as :

 

è           Spectrometer for chemical composition analysis

è           Instron Universal Testing m/c

è           Gas Liquid Chromatograph

è           Micro-hardness Tester

è           Ericsson cup depth tester

è           A range of paper testing equipment

è           Melt flow index tester

 

The Research and Development of the company will develop new products and processes in line with the state-of-art technology related to foil and foil related products of  the company.

 

The company’s process of the “Quality Assurance System” is as under:

 

è           Trial approval and contract review

è           Specification finalization for individual products

è           Raw material checks

è           Process inspection and Control

è           Final Inspection

è           Corrective and preventive action and feedback

 

Considering this as a guideline for superior performance, the company geared up to meet the demand and intend to remain as leaders and the lowest cost producer of aluminium foil in the industry.

 

The company’s fixed assets of important value include goodwill, freehold land, building (freehold and leasehold), plant and machinery, furniture and fittings and motor vehicles.

 

Operational Performance : 
 
 
The period under review has been a year of consolidation for single plant operation. During the current year aluminium foil, industry was badly affected due to unexpected and frequent serial increase in LME prices worldwide particularly in the second half of the year. Further, not only metal but also other raw material prices were also in their highs. The increase was so sudden and fast that Company and foil industry in general were unable to pass on in full, these increases to its customer. As a result the sales realization has not improved in the desired proportion of the increase in the raw material prices. The sales of the Kamarhati unit in the current period increased from Rs.1642.600 millions to Rs. 1909.300 millions registering a growth of 16% on year-to-year basis. Due to higher capacity utilization and better mix the production has increased from 6672 M.T. to 7803 M.T. in the same period. 
 
With the increase capacity utilization and sales, the Company has been able to reduce its losses from Rs.645.300 millions to Rs.130.900 millions for the year under review. Company is continuously focusing on the cost reduction for achieving the desired result. 
 
Future Outlook :  
 
The financial result of the Company for the year under review was better compared to last couple of years. Though the Company is still making losses but the same has come down and Company has started showing operational profit in the year under review. The concept of working under single plant with the lower manpower and operating cost from last few years has started yielding results. The margin is always an area of concern in the foil business therefore, Company has given absolute focus on cost reduction with success. 
 
Domestic Aluminium Foil sector outlook remains good and Company expects to increase its market share by catering to new customers both domestic and export front. The global Aluminium Foil outlook is steady and Company is taking opportunities to enter new export markets in Asia, Africa, and Middle East, where products are established and Indian manufacturers have a price advantage as well. 

 

Erosion Of Net Worth : 
 
The
company had made a reference under section 15(1) of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special) Provision Act, 1985 to Board for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR). Subsequently, the Hon'ble Bench of BIFR vide its letter 9th May 2006 declared the company a sick industrial company in terms of Section 3(1)(o) of the Act. 

 

Business Review : 
 
Foils: 
 
The Foil and packaging business continues to reel under excess capacity, low demand and lower realization leading to a fierce price war, which severely impacted volumes, realization and margins. The continued intense price competition from small producers and the substitution in the high value segments dampened prospect for this business. This had a telling effect on the overall profitability of the foil and packaging business. However, the Company mitigated the impact, at least partially, by improving utilization of the key converting equipment to enhance market share in certain high value added products. 

 

The Company’s Fixed Assets of important value includes:

n       Freehold Land

n       Freehold Building

n       Leasehold Building

n       Plant and Machinery

n       Office Equipment

n       Furniture and Fittings 

n       Motor Vehicles
