LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

The company originally established in Mumbai in the year 1951. It shifted the manufacturing base to Vallabh Vidyanagar Near Anand, Gujarat, in 1962.  

 

The company received government approval for its diversification in the manufacture of 1000 hydraulic fluid couplings per annum within its licensed capacity of helical gears in 1984.

 

The company privately placed in 1990-91, 0.500 million 14% secured redeemable non-convertiable debentures of Rs. 100/- each, with the State Bank of India Capital Markets and Canara Bank in equal proportions to meet its long term working capital needs. These debentures are redeemable at a premium of 5% in three equal annual installments between 19 September 96 and 19 September 98.

 

The company's wholly owned subsidiary Elecon (Chennai) was amalgamated with the company with effect from 1st January, 1987.  In 1994-95, the company entered into technical collaboration with HMZ NV, Belgium for manufacture of windomaster wind energy generators.   In 1994-95 company obtained the ISO 9001 certification for its gear division.  It has executed orders worth Rs. 1300.000 millions for Neyveli Lignite Corporation Limited for manufacture, erection and commissioning of 2400 MM drive heads on conveyors for its Mine-II

 

During 1997-98, the company floated a new company to manufacture geared motors and gear reducers with a wide range, in technical collaboration with a Japanese company of international repute.  The company has also formed a joint venture company which will initially undertake manufacturing of industrial freewheels overrunning clutches, spring assemblies, clutches and related parts and components used in power transmission and work holding technology.

 

During 1998-99, the company has launched POSIRED 2 Helical/Beval Gears for which the company has entered into a technical collaboration with PIC Antried Werner Reimers GmbH & Company KG, Germany.   The Company has simultaneously launched Super NU Universal Mounting Worm Gears which is newly designed and developed series.

 

To market its products in Australia the company has set up a wholly owned subsidiary company namely Elecon Australia Pte. Limited.   It is also in the process of setting up a subsidiary in South Africa.

 

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The buoyancy exhibited by the Indian economy which saw many new green field projects as well as expansions in core and other sectors and expansions in the industrial spectrum along with emphasis on infrastructure provided ample business opportunities for the Company.


These are exemplified by the unexecuted order book of about Rs. 8,370 Millions comprising Rs. 6,210 Millions for MHE division and Rs. 2,160 Millions for Gear Division as on May 31st, 2007. The Company is having live enquiries of around Rs. 20,790 Millions as on May 31s, 2007. 

 
For the year ended on 31st March, 2007, the Company has achieved a Turnover of Rs. 7,231 Millions and Net Profit of Rs. 549 Millions as against the Turnover of Rs.4,424 Millions and Net Profit of Rs. 278 Millions during the previous year, representing a remarkable growth of 63% in turnover and 97% in Net Profit. 

 
The healthy bottom line of the company, unfolds a significant message : Whether it is supply of equipment to a power project Dadri in India or a mining project in far off Botswana near South Africa, Elecon is a brand with a credible assurance of Reliability. In other words, for customers, stakeholders and investors, Elecon is synonymous with Reliability. 

 

NEW BUSINESSES

Elecon Engineering since its inception has always been in the forefront of innovations and technology in the manufacturing and has passionately strived to reach new frontiers of technical excellence in order to be in tune with the changing times.

In line with this strategy, the Company has taken two strategic decisions.

To capture new markets for ensuring further growth, the company has signed a technical collaboration with Haisung Industrial System Company Limited of Korea to design and manufacture high speed and capacity lift gear boxes.

The Company has also signed the Technical Collaboration Agreement with RENK AG, of Germany for availing technology for design and manufacture of Vertical Roller Mill Gear Boxes. This type of Gear boxes is presently imported into India and hence Elecon will be the first company to manufacture these gearboxes in India. This will open the market for the Company's product to serve major Indian cement manufacturers as well as service the bigger size gear units supplied or being supplied by RENK. 

Their Goal is to become a major global player besides earning strong leadership position in the market place by delivering superior world class products based on state-of-the-art-technologies at competitive prices.

Management discussion & analysis 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company has decided to manufacture the windmills and is expecting to commence its production during the current financial year. Presently about 45,000 MW of power is expected to come from Wind energy over the next five years. This will add lots in the growth journey of the Company. 

The key demand driver for this industry is the rate of economic growth and it is affected by the macro-economic environment and the changes in the overall economy. Positive macro-economic factors such as increases in GDP translate into additional investments in the economy and infrastructure, modernisation of plants and increased repairs and maintenance work. Such investment in the economy benefits both of their material handling equipment division and gear division as its products form an essential part of most manufacturing facilities. 

The material handling equipment industry manufactures and supplies equipment to core industries such as coal steel, cement, fertilisers, mining, ports, power, petrochemicals and civil construction. 

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

In order to understand track of the global movement of industry, the Company has during the year under review, opened a foreign equity participating Company at China

The Company has also taken measures to cut cost, increase productivity and limit manpower to turn more competitive. It is also considering diversifying its business by entering into new product line in conjunction with existing production line. 

SEGMENTWISE PERFORMANCE

During the financial year 2006 - 2007, the Company has achieved a Turnover of Rs. 7,231 Millions as against Rs. 4,424 Millions in the previous year, which shows a growth of 63% over the previous year. 

The turnover of Gear Division has increased to Rs. 3,134 Millions from Rs. 2,318 Millions in the previous year, which is an increase of 35%. 

The turnover of MHE Division has increased to Rs. 4,096 Millions as against Rs.

2,106 Millions in the previous year, which is an increase of 94%. 

The Profit Before Tax has increased to Rs. 844 Millions from Rs. 409 Millions in the previous year, which is an increase of 106%. 

The Profit After Tax has increased to Rs. 549 Millions from Rs. 278 Millions in the previous year, which is an increase of 97%. 

OUTLOOK

The upturn in the economy and rapid industrial growth have been encouraging for the growth of the Company. The several upcoming and ongoing infrastructure projects have created good opportunity for the material handling equipment division. 

Looking to the entry into the new sectors like defence, the Directors feel that Company will be in a position to achieve more new / repetitive orders from this sector. The Company has also decided to manufacture and market the Vertical Roller Mill gear boxes, which is the import substitute. The Company has availed technology for design and manufacturing of Lift gear Boxes. The Company will be the first Indian Company to manufacture lift gear boxes of such high speed and capacity. 

The Company will be setting up a project for manufacturing of gear boxes for wind mills in the range of 1 MW to 2 MW. It will substitute the import market for the product and Elecon will be the first Company to, manufacture such sizes of gear boxes.
