LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

 

Subject was originally incorporated on 17th January, 1985 at Mumbai in Maharashtra under the name and style of Welspun Polyester India Limited having Company Registration Number 35092. The name of the company was changed to the present.

 

The Registered office of the company was changed to the present with effect from 29th October, 1997 and having New Registration Number 33271.

 

The company is the largest producer of Terry Towel in Asia and one of the 10 leading in the world, possessing a state-of-the-art, fully integrated terry towel unit at Vapi, Gujarat. The company, the flagship company of the Rs 8000.000 millions Welspun group. The company's Plant with state-of-the-art technology, has got ISO 9002 accreditation. Being an environment friendly manufacturing process company, it has been awarded the OKOTEX certification.  
 

The company transferred the Spinning division with its assets and liabilities to Welspun Cotton Yarn Limited. The company continues to manufacture terry towels, but the yarn spinning is carried out by the new company - Welspun Cotton Yarn Limited (WCYL). The demerger involved equity swapping in the ratio of 7:3. For every 10 shares of the comapny, shareholders were issued seven shares of the company and three shares of WCYL.  

 

In order to give impetus to the market share, the company has embarked upon direct marketing. The company has set up a wholly owned subsidiary in the name of Welspun USA Inc. in New York to focus on the US markets. It has started using Egyption Cotton Yarn & American Pima Cotton in the manufacture of premium quality towels and above same was registered trademark user of 'Egyptian Cotton' & 'Supima'. 


The company has started direct marketing by way of 100% subsidiary in USA and has made grounds for tie-ups with the best in the market for floating the products in the market. The company chalked out an expansion plan by setting up a 20 looms at a capital outlay of Rs.350.000 millions which is under implementation and out of which 11 looms have been installed and production has commenced. With this expansion the capacity has been enhanced to 10800 MTPA.

 

Review of Performance 

 

The year 2005-06 saw a turnover of Rs. 6537.340 millions as against Rs. 4763.100 millions in 2004-05 registering a growth of 37%. Profit before tax for the year is Rs. 632.810 millions, whereas it was Rs 606.330 million in the previous year. The net profit increased by Rs. 28.480 million for 2005-06 to Rs.415.490 million from Rs. 385.800 million.

 

During the year under report, production and sates of Terry Towels at 20026 MT and 19981 MT, respectively, were higher by 61% and 68%, respectively, over those in the previous year. Cotton Yarn production quantity remained by and large unchanged whereas sales was down by 38% mainly due to increased captive consumption. Despite being 1st year (three months production) of Bed Linen, production of 3971 MT and sales of 3801 MT shows creditable response to Welspun's entry in the line.

 

The profitability remained under pressure, mainly on account of higher Power and Fuel Cost on one hand and higher initial cost due to lower utilization of new capacities on the other hand. However the directors are confident that this was only a -temporary phenomenon and the current year will show improved cost to sales relationship.

 

The company has joint venture with :-

 

Welspun Zuchi Textiles Limited

 

The company’s fixed assets of important value include Freehold Land, Buildings, Plant & Machinery, Vehicles, Furniture & Fixtures and Office Equipments.
