HISTORY:

 

Incorporated on 22 Jan.'85 and commencing business on 22 Apr.'85, Haryana Leather Chemicals (HLCL) is promoted by N K Jain and the Haryana State Industrial Development Corporation (HSIDC). HLCL came out with a public issue in Sep.'88 to finance its Rs 46.700 Millions project, to manufacture a wide range of leather chemicals and auxiliaries (cap. : 1510 tpa). It issued right shares in Oct.'92 to finance the export-oriented expansion programme. Located in Jind, Haryana, it went on stream in Apr.'88.

 
Leather chemicals are used for leather finishing. The company's products include fat liquors and finishing chemicals such as binders, pigments, waxes, feel modifiers, lacquers, etc. It has entered into technical collaborations with two internationally reputed European companies -- A Smit and Zoon, Holland, for fat liquors, and ICAP Industria Chimica, Italy, for finishing chemicals. It has entered into a collaboration with Forbo Helmitin, Germany, to manufacture speciality shoe adhesives. 

 
HLCL commenced commercial production of cross-linking acrylic binders in 1994-95, mainly for export.  

 
The company has decided to diversify into the field of high performance pressure sensitive adhesive for packaging industry, for this a technology transfer agreement has already been executed by the company with M/s ICAP Sira Chemicals & Polymers SpA, Italy. The company has also started manufacturing Polyurethane Lacquer for Synthetic Sole in collaboration with SIVAM, Italy. During 1999-2000, the company has started production of PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) as per the agreement concluded with ICAP-SIRA due to this additional product range the capacity utilisation of Acrylic plant will be optimised. Technology transfer agreement has been concluded with M/s Vismon Barcelona, Spain to meet with the demands of light weight and waterproof leather. 
 
In 2000-2001 the company has undertaken a major expansion to add synthetic tanning agent to its range of products in view of the emerging demand of the synthetic tanning agents.The new range of Fatliquor has been widely accepted. The company plans to produce syntans and hope to commence production by December,2003.

 

OPERATIONS 
 
During the year the company has achieved a turnover (Net of Excise) of Rs. 181.300 Millions against Rs. 166.200 Millions for the previous year and net profit for the year is Rs. 10.700 Millions against Rs. 5.000 Millions for the previous year. 

 
This year the company has been able to achieve a better capacity utilization compared to previous years. During the year company's exports are Rs. 60.600 Millions compared to the previous year's exports of Rs. 41.300 Millions. 

 

QUALITY CONTROL 

 
As a part of the continuous improvement on products and processes, the company achieved better quality standards as compared to previous years with tighter tolerances on end products and inputs. The new quality system of ISO 9001:2000 is in place and final audit for certification is underway. 

 
DIVERSIFICATION AND NEW PRODUCTS 

 
E.O.U. Division 

 
The company has stabilized its EOU unit operations as an independent operating unit with new equipment and manpower. 
 
The unit has started to serve some key new customers in far eastern countries, requiring very high quality finishing chemicals. 

 
TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT 

 
The company has kept pace with new trends and technologies to compete the companies in western countries. The completion of research project on 'Polyurethane Dispersions' has given a big boost to company's status and during field trials the customer's response is quite encouraging. The company is finalizing the plans for commercialization of Polyurethane Dispersions in a new set up within existing facilities or altogether a new unit subject to techno economic feasibility. 

 
The new thrust on technology development will be on 'Polymeric Fatliquors which is partly being funded by DSIR (Dept. Of Scientific and Industrial Research). The company has received 2.500 Millions from DSIR. The project is progressing satisfactorily.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT 

 
Industry Structure 

 
India continues to remain as an emerging global player in leather and footwear markets due to stable supply of raw hides. However the lower value addition and quality of Indian leather in general is still below international standards of leading multinational brands of footwear and leather goods companies. Most Indian leather exports are highly price sensitive and get affected by foreign exchange fluctuations and other factors of Global economy. These factors continue to govern the fate of leather chemical industry. 

 
Due to merger and restructuring of foreign multinationals in leather chemicals, the company has identified newer distribution channels , both in domestic and export markets. China has emerged as the leading most producer of leather and leather goods and most leather chemical companies are striving to get their market shares with better products and technical services. 

 
Opportunities & Threats 

 
Opportunities 
 
For leather chemical companies, China and neighboring countries offer the biggest business potential. Countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand have strong and stable leather production and need chemicals for their processing. Due to stricter environmental and safety regulations, the technically advanced chemical suppliers stand a better chance who are able to certify their products as per European safety standards on banned substances. 
 
Threats 
 
The most significant and realistic threat to leather chemical industry is the petroleum price hike. Most inputs are based on petroleum, therefore a sudden jump in input cost cannot be transferred to the customers and chemical manufacturers end up absorbing a significant portion which erodes the profit margins. However this can be offset by higher plant capacity utilization, better yields and efficiencies. 

 
Segment-wise or product-wise performance 

 
The domestic sales are likely to be stagnant and the growth is foreseen in exports especially to Far Eastern countries The finishing chemical sales may see a decline as there is more demand for naked finishes requiring lesser finishing chemicals. 

 
Product wise, the Syntans and specialized Fatliquors have been performing well and company's strategy will be to obsolete the commodities and move towards specialties which are not so price sensitive. This can be possible because of company's ongoing R & D programes on various items.  

 
Outlook 
 
The outlook if Indian leather industry is good and export will remain as a thrust area. The leather chemical industry is likely see a change due to continuation of mergers and acquisitions in international markets. Technology and application services will dictate the market shares amongst various competitors. 

 
The company has made significant strategic changes in domestic distribution especially on Kolkatta to improve upon the technical services. A customer service center in Ambur has started to function and a similar center is being planned for Kolkatta. 

 
The company's marketing efforts has become even more aggressive with participation in important leather fairs in Italy and Hong Kong which also benefit the domestic markets as these fairs are visited by leading Indian customers. 

 

During the year, the company set up a 100% EOU for the production of high speciality leather chemicals as an independent and separate unit. The same started commercial production w.e.f. 07.09.2005. This EOU has earned a net profit which is exempt from the Income Tax.
