INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS :

 

MANUFACTURING DIVISION :

 

The Polyurethane foam industry in India is quite unorganized with limited number of organized players. Though there has been consistent growth in the PU foam industry in India, the per capita consumption is still among the lowest in the world as compared to developed and developing countries. With the growing Indian Economy and huge thrust on the growth of infrastructure sector by the Indian Government, the PU Foam industry is likely to post much better growth rates in the coming years. Further, with the improving purchasing power of the Indian consumers and the growing awareness of the consumers for use of PU Foam as against the traditional usage of rubber foam and other materials, the demand for PU Foam is expected to increase substantially. With the continuous improvements in the conditions of the PU Foam industry, the products available are expected to become cheaper and more affordable with better quality standards.

 

ACL is an established and one of the leading manufacturers of PU Foam in India. The Company's products are very well accepted in the market. Further, the proximity of the company's manufacturing units to the most prominent markets in the northern part of the country has greatly helped the company to effectively compete with other established manufacturers in the country.

 

The company continues to examine and explore other markets and segments to enlarge its operations and attain

growth in consonance with the changing needs of the customers.

 

TRADING DIVISION :

 

The Company trades in coke. Coke is a derivate of coking coal. It is the main source of heat and is also the reducing agent required to facilitate the conversion of metallurgical ores into metal during the smelting process. Coke has a huge demand in Steel industry, Cement industry , pit furnaces for small castings and gas producers among others.

 

Coke has a huge demand globally and also in India, which is on the rise considering the fact that there is a global shift of Steel making from the developed to the developing countries and India is fast emerging as the chosen destination.

 

OPPORTUNITIES & THEREATS :

 

MANUFACTURING DIVISION :

 

The product of the cmpany constitutes polyurethane foam which is extensively used in the Transort, Automobile, Packaging, Electronics, Garments, Leather, Shoes and Furniture Industries. With the increase in industrial activities in the country, the demand for Polyurethane Form is expected to increase which may result in better price realization for final products. With the improvement in per capita income and life style of Indian customers, demand for flexible PU Foam is expected to increase substantially; Increased penetration of products in rural and semi-urban markets will directly benefit the company. There are certain states in India where the opportunity for growth is high. The company will leverage this opportunity by various marketing initiatives such as brand building, restructuring dealers and introduction of new products.

 

The products of the company being material intensive which constitutes about 90% of its cost of production, the profitability of the company depends on the movement of the prices and availability of the raw materials. The company imports substantial part of its raw material requirement and any change in regulatory norms or foreign exchange fluctuations may result in an increase in manufacturing costs, which in turn, may affect margins or demand in a highly competitive and price sensitive situation. The company operates in a globally competitive business environment. The entry of new players has made the market more competitive affecting the margins of all participants.

 

The company is countering this threat by a stronger focus on reducing costs, increasing efficiency of operations and better quality.

 

TRADING DIVISION :

 

There is a huge gap between the Demand and Supply of Coke, and hense the company seeks to realize better prices with the continuous growth in steel sector.

 

Company’s fixed assets include Freehold Land, Factory Building, Other Building, Plant and Machinery, D.G. Set, Laboratory Equipments, Electrical Installation, Fire Fighting Equipments, Furniture and Fixtures, Computer, Motor Vehicle, Air Conditioner, Office Equipments, Office Equipments.

Manufacturing Unit

ACL, an ISO 9002 company, is one of the leading manufacturers of Polyurethane Foam (PU Foam) in India. PU Foam is extensively used in Transport, Automobiles, Packaging, Electronics, Garments, Leather, Shoes and Furniture Industries. The Company's manufacturing unit located in Bagru, Jaipur is used to manufacture a wide range of products ranging from mattress, sofa and pillows. The proximity of its manufacturing unit to the most prominent markets in the northern part of the country has made its products well established in the market and helped it compete effectively with the other players in the sector. It is constantly exploring other markets and segments to enlarge its operations and attain growth in consonance with the changing needs of the customers.

 

Industry Scenario

 

The Polyurethane foam industry comprises of few organized players. With the per capita consumption of foam relatively low in the country, there is tremendous scope for the sector to grow. The Indian economy is looking very robust and the high importance placed on the infrastructure sector augurs faster growth for the PU Foam industry in India in the coming years. The purchasing power of the consumers have improved considerably, and this coupled with the growing awareness of benefits of using PU Foam over rubber foam and other materials, is expected to propel the demand for foam substantially. Increased spending on research and development in the sector will have dual benefits of better quality and cheaper products, leading to increased penetration in rural and semi-urban markets. The Company will leverage this opportunity by various marketing initiatives such as brand building, restructuring dealers and introduction of new products.

 

Trading Division

 

ACL is involved in trading of coke, a derivative of coking coal. It is the main source of heat and is also the reducing agent required to facilitate the conversion of metallurgical ores into metal during the smelting process. Coke has a huge demand in steel industry, cement industry, pit furnaces for small castings and gas producers among others. It has a huge demand globally. With a global shift in steel manufacturing units from the developed to the developing nations, and India being one of the most favoured destinations, the steel making capacity in the country is set to grow in manifolds, thus resulting in an increase in demand for coke.
