LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

Rapicut Carbides (RCL), incorporated in April '77 and promoted by a group of experienced technocrats has commenced production of tungsten carbide products in Oct. '79. Its manufacturing process ranges from ore extraction to making the finished product (inst. cap.: 90 tpa). 

 
Its products include metal cutting tips, special and formed tips, wire drawing dies and wear parts. For the mining sector, it manufactures tungsten carbide drill steel inserts, coal auger and integrated drill steel rods. Its products find application in the automobile, mining, rock drilling, oil exploration and general engineering industries. 
 
RCL is diversifying its product-mix by adding other powder metallurgical products, like indexable inserts and more value added products. It will also manufacture extrusion rods, coupling sleeves, adaptors and cross bits mainly used in underground tunneling work. For the ball bearing and fastener industry, it will manufacture cold heading dies. The company has received ISO 9002 Certificate in June 99.

 

 

OPERATIONS: 
 
Year 2005-06 witnessed a very volatile situation in the fluctuating raw material price scenario. The Company as also other cemented carbide manufacturers had to effect upward price revision in their products on multiple occasions. The direct impact of this was very cautious response and consequent uncertainty in the flow of customer orders. Hence the increase in sales turnover during the year under review was marginal. 
 
However, the drive for economy in expenses, wherever possible, continued unabated. In the result operating profit was significantly higher (Rs.7.589 Millions) as compared to previous year (Rs.3.947 Millions). 

 
OUTLOOK FOR 2006-2007: 

 
The order book has been quite healthy since the beginning of the current year. The Directors are confident that improvement in the performance will be sustained through the year, despite the continuing volatility in raw material prices.
