SPL is also moving towards developing a sector specific SEZ for plastics processed goods.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

 

With a view to expand its business in gulf countries, the Company has promoted The Supreme Industries Overseas (FZE), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, incorporated in SAIF Free Zone, UAE by investing a sum of AED 150,000 (equivalent to Rs1.888 Millions). Statement required pursuant to provisions of section 212 of the Companies Act, 1956 is provided in the Annual Report.

 

 

The company has initiated plans for development of its properties at Andheri in Mumbai and evaluating proposals

for Salt lake in Kolkatta To pursue these projects, the company has incurred a capital expenditure of Rs. 1 76.300

Millions during the year.

 

As part of its strategy to focus on changing needs of market segments, the Company has plans for capital expenditure of over Rs. 1 200.000 Millions during 2006-07. These investments are expected to further improve the financial performance of the Company in the coming years. The requirement of additional funds for financing its capital projects will be met by internal resources and borrowings.

 

The gross working capital comprising of receivables and inventories as at 30th June 2006 is 21 .39.% of net sales as compared to 20.2% of net sales as at 30th June 2005. The Company has adequate facilities granted by the consortium of bankers for its working capital requirement. The short term debt rating of P1 has been re-affirmed by CRISIL.

 

The increasing credit demand from the industry and increase in administrative rate by Reserve Bank of India at

regular intervals has put the interest rate under pressure.

 

The Company has restructured its debt profile to reduce the incidence of interest on operational performance. In

spite of increasing rate of interest on borrowed funds, close monitoring of working capital has resulted into reduction of interest and financing charges in terms of percent to total income at 2.73% for the year as compared to previous financial year at 3.04%.

 

2. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The Company is engaged in processing and manufacturing of plastic products, components and other end-user

industry products, and is market leader in various products.

 

The Company is preferred partner to user industries with commitment to supply high quality customised products

and integrated services.  India is one of the countries with very low per capita consumption of plastics. The consumption of plastics in India during the financial year 2005-06 was around 4.6 Million tons indicating a growth of around 12% compared to previous year. After several years of low consumption, the industry appears to have come back to a growth path.

 

They expect that the pace of growth may continue and per capita consumption of plastics will improve. India is far behind in export of plastics products due to various factors. The export of plastics goods from China was around 15 billion Dollars in the year 2005 against 1 billion Dollar from India in 2005-06. Considering the inherent strength of the plastics processing industry in the country, to adopt to fast changing requirement and its capabilities to deliver customized products, the exports of value added products are expected to grow once the concept of SEZ is fully operationalised. They envisage good growth potential for exports of plastics products from India.

 

Government of India is taking initiatives to boost the manufacturing activities in India. Creation of SEZ is one

such initiatives. Introduction of Value Added Tax (VAT) by most of the states is expected to not only boost State

revenues but will also have positive impact on manufacturing activities. It is expected that the remaining

states will also follow VAT system very soon. Central Sales Tax (CST), which is a big hindrance in integrating the tax system in the country, is expected to be abolished in phases over a period of 2 to 3 years. Government has de-reserved 180 items from Small Scale reservation list and has expressed it's intention to de-reserve the list of remaining 326 items in near future. Plastics products still constitute major chunk of residual items in the reserved category.

De-reservation thereof is expected to boost consumption of plastics and trigger export growth of plastics products.

This will create further growth opportunities for the company's business.

 

The company has taken initiatives to boost its export. Expansion of capacity of cross laminated products, plastics

piping system, flexible packaging film and opening up

Milestones :

 

Founded in 1942, Supreme is an acknowledged leader of India's plastics industry.    

 

Handling volumes of over 100,000 tonnes of polymers annually, effectively makes them the country's largest plastics processors.             

                         

Not surprisingly, they also offer the widest and most comprehensive range of plastic products in India.           

 

Their 20 advanced plants are powered by technology from world leaders, and complement their extensive facilities for R & D and new product development.            

 

In fact, Supreme is credited with pioneering several products in India. These include Cross- Laminated Films, HMHD Films, Multilayer Films, SWR Piping Systems, PP Mats and more.          

 

They are seeking to perform strongly internationally as well. Exports remain a focal area of their operations, even as they add newer markets to their list worldwide.        

 

2005 will see The Supreme Group turnover touch a projected Rs. 23,000 million (USD 500 million).  

 

Products:

 

  • Moulded Furniture
  • Moulds
  • Storage and Material Handling Crates
  • Petrochemicals
  • Cross Laminated Films and Products
  • Food Service ware
  • Packaging Films
  • Industrial and engineering Moulded Products
  • Calendered Rigid PVC Films
  • Protective Packaging Products
  • Plastics Piping Systems

 

From Strength to Strength        

             

From modest beginnings, as a small single product company in the 1950s, to a Rs. 2,0000.000 Millions multi-unit conglomerate with India's largest plastic products portfolio today, the Supreme Group has certainly come a long way.

 

This unrelenting growth has come through diverse efforts: consolidation and expansion, enhancement of capacities, addition of fresh products and variants, establishment of newer plants, and occasionally, even acquisition of under-performing but high potential units and brands.

 

Understandably, the integration route has been successfully explored by the Group.

 

For instance, in a major backward integration move, Supreme Petrochem Ltd.-- and with it, one of India's largest world class styrenics complexes-- came into being.

 

Similarly, diversification and horizontal integration have been fuelled by strategic collaborations with technology leaders. Two prime examples of this are introduction of multi-layer films and calendered film products in the country .

 

The Group has made substantial complementary investments in R & D. This has not only helped in a thorough and superior assimilation of cutting edge technologies, but also contributed to a collateral development of newer and improved products on a continuing basis.

 

So, while Supreme SWR systems were India's first viable alternative to conventional GI pipes and fittings, the unflagging creation of newer fittings keeps an unmatched range growing ever further .

 

A client-friendly approach, a readiness to customize and an eagerness to provide all technical support have played no mean role in propelling Supreme to leadership.

 

An open mind and receptivity to new ideas and needs remain hallmarks of the Group's interface with all customers-- in India and across the globe .

Press Release                                                                                                                      

                                                                                                                                                 

The Supreme Industries Limited has reported gross turnover and other income of Rs. 4071.300 Millions including Rs. 167.100 Millions of polymer trading) in the first 6 months ended 31 st December 2004 of the current year as against Rs. 4297.300 Millions (including Rs. 352.900 Millions of polymer trading) during the corresponding period of last year.     

 

Operating profit for the first half of current year is lower at Rs. 256.300 Millions as against Rs. 325.200 Millions in last year and the Net Profit is Rs. 51.200 Millions as against Rs. 113.600 Millions in the corresponding period of previous year .      

 

The first half of the current year has witnessed steep volatility in polymer prices. The whole of the plastic processing industry has passed through a bad phase due to such volatility, which has led to degrowth in consumption of plastics in the Indian economy inspite of GDP growth in excess of 7%. The overall consumption of majority of commodity plastics in the last 9 months (April 2004 to December 2004) was either negative or flat. The prices have since then stabilized and outlook remains positive for the first half of the calendar year .                                                                                                         

 

Supreme is increasing its capacities in more value added products and to increase its export capabilities which would minimize the effects of such volatility in polymer prices. The Company has planned capex of Rs. 650.000 Millions during the current year, Major capex has been committed for such value added products and to augment the capacity for export markets .     

 

The second half of the current year looks promising and the Company expects to achieve it's financials in line with the previous year.
