RECENT DEVELOPMENT

 

The SC, which supplies blow-moulding machines to make plastic and glass bottles, will use Malaysia as a launchpad to export its products worldwide. The president and chief executive officer of Sidel, Gerard Stricher said that Malaysia is an ideal hub for the company because of its educated workforce and friendly government and investment policies. "The Malaysian market is small for us, where we sell only 10 machines to local manufacturers, so 99 per cent of our products are exported, especially to Indonesia, Thailand, Africa, Europe and the Americas.

           

Stricher had earlier accompanied Deputy Information Minister, Datuk Seri Chia Kwang Chye, who had launched the French company's newly upgraded (RM46.4 million factory). The SC is part of French bottling giant Tetra Laval, a world leader in food-processing and packaging systems. To date, it has sold 27,000 machines installed in 190 countries. In Malaysia, the SC supplies equipment to make plastic and glass bottles as well as containers and metal cans.

INDUSTRY        :           MACHINERY

The early development of the machinery and equipment (M&E) industry emerged to serve the agro-based and tin mining sectors. Over the years, local manufacturers have also ventured into producing other M&E to meet the need of other industries. There are four sectors in the M&E industry and they are power generating M&E; metal working machinery; machinery specialised for particular industries; and general industrial machinery, equipment and parts.

           

Production of machinery and equipment industry including air conditioning, refrigerating and ventilating machinery, contracted 13.7% during the first six months of 2007 (January-June 2006: -1.7%) on account of lower sales of 5.9% (January-June 2006: 2.8%). Weakening sales during the period, resulting from lower domestic and external demand, led to lower capacity utilisation of 60.0%.

           

During the Industrial Master Plan 3 period the industry is expected to expand further in tandem with the growth of major economic sectors, in particular the manufacturing, agriculture and services sectors. With increasing competition from lower cost producing countries, the industry is expected to move up the value chain and strengthen its design, development and innovation capabilities in the production of innovation capabilities in the production of high technology M&E and specialized M&E for specific industries.

           

To assist local small and medium enterprises enhance their technological competitiveness in machinery and equipment manufacturing, the Government has set up the Rasa Machinery and Equipment Technology Centre (Ramet) managed by Sirim Bhd.

           

Malaysia being a net importer of M&E should be able to gained some advantages from the de-pegged of US Dollar (USD). Even so, the over-dependency of Malaysia on imported M&E indicates that the local M&E industry needs to increase the number of projects approved for both the domestic and the foreign investors.

           

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK           :           DECLINING

 

 

COMMENTS

 

Established in 2005, the SC is principally engaged in the supply and distributing of blowing and coating machinery. Being a young company, the SC faces high business risk as it has yet to build up a stable reputation for itself among its supplier and clientele.

           

Our investigation revealed that the SC serves both local and overseas market. However the SC's concentration is mainly on the overseas market as 99% income are generated from the overseas market. Currently the SC exports its products to Indonesia, Thailand, Africa and etc. With the concentration on the overseas market, the SC is unlikely to be affected by the uncertainties in the local economy and this has benefited the SC in terms of higher earnings. However, being an international player, the SC is subjected to certain inherent risks of foreign currencies fluctuation and stiff competition from the international market. As a whole, the commercial risk of the SC is moderate. The management of the SC is overseen by Managing Director Sylvain Gerard Bernard and assisted by 85 staffs. Overall the management capability of the SC is average.

 

Based on the latest financial year 2006, the SC posted pre-tax losses of RM16.32 million and its turnover stood at RM81.36 million. Due to the losses, the SC has generated an unfavourable return on shareholders' funds which indicated that the management was inefficient in  utilising its shareholders' funds to generate returns. Despite showing sign of adequate liquidity position, we however noted that the  SC  had a deficit in shareholder's equity of RM15.80 million. Overall the financial standing of the SC is POOR.

           

Investigation revealed that the SC sources its raw materials from both local and overseas countries. As a result, the SC is exposed to foreign currency fluctuation risk.

           

The  industry demonstrate downward trend. The immediate outlook for the industry is unfavourable. With this unconductive industry environment, it might pressure down the SC performance.

           

In view of its poor financial standing, we regard that granting of credit to the SC to be quite risky. Hence, we do not recommend the credit to be proceeded to the SC.
