Overview

 

The polyester staple fiber and filament yarn industry passed through difficult period owing mainly to under-utilization of production capacities of staple fiber and filament yarn. This was due to high volatility of raw material prices and excessive inflow of imported yarn and fabric at dumping prices. In the Federal Budget-2005, duty on polyester staple fiber and filament yarn was reduced to restrict smuggling of yarn and fabric but the import figure during the under review increased tremendously. Inspite of the impediments, the overall performance of the Company remained satisfactory. Revenue from sales declined by Rs. 124 million to Rs 3,526 million in the year 2006 from Rs. 3,650 million in 2005. prices of chips fell by 10% and of fiber and yarn by 4% as compared to the previous year. Quantity of chips sold decline by 22%. Although the sales volume of fiber and yarn registered a nominal increase, it did not offset the effect of declining prices on revenues. Profitability during the year remained under pressure as a result of increase in input cost and decrease in sale prices. Prices of petroleum based raw material PTA and MEG rose by 10% and 9% respectively as compared to the previous year. Similarly furnace oil prices increased by 19% to Rs. 23,070 from Rs. 19,400 per ton.

 

Future Outlook

 

The industry outlook in the coming year does not look very promising. A number of factors could affect the performance of the Company. These factors include crises in the Middle East, increasing trend in prices of basic raw materials, and import of yarn and fiber at dumping prices. The pressure on selling price and profitability is expected to continue because of the weakening of local market due to imbalance between demand-supply of polyester staple fiber and yarn. Prices escalation of PTA, MEG and furnace oil, which constitute major components of the total production cost is also expected to be a negative factor for its profitability.

 

 

History of the Company

 

Rupali Polyester Limited was incorporated at Karachi in May 1980 as a Public Limited Company and is listed on all stock exchanges of Pakistan. It owns and operates composite facilities to manufacture polyester fiber and filament yarn. It produces quality products by using latest technology and best quality of raw materials. The Company has the privilege of being one of the pioneers in Pakistan for manufacture of staple fiber of highest quality. Since its inception, the Company has been growing steadily through expansion and diversified operations. The assets of the Company have increased to over Rs. 2,767 million from the initial capital outlay of Rs. 150 million.

 

The Company has a polymerization unit with a capacity of 105 metric tons per day, polyester filament yarn capacity of 30 metric tons per day and a polyester staple fibre capacity of 65 metric tons per day. The various products of Rupali are in fact import substitution as these were previously imported from Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan and Korea. Now the Company is importing the basic raw materials only and through value addition is producing the highest quality products locally.
