HISTORY

 

The company was incorporated on 24th December 1946 at Mumbai in Maharashtra having Company Registration Number 5434.

 

Mr. Dandekar originally incorporated Camlin in 1931 as Dandekar & Company, it got its present name in 1988. It started operations with the launch of Horse brand Ink, followed by Camel Ink.

 

The company later on expanded product range to several consumer and stationery products like pain balms, chalks, rubber stamp pads, gums, adhesives, etc. Art materials were launched in 1962 and pencils in 1974. 

 

The company diversified into fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals in 1984.  The company made its IPO in 1987. 

 

The company's industrial adhesive division started its operations in March 1995.

 

The company started commercial production of high polymer lead in March 1990, in technical collaboration with Pilot Corporations, Japan and has become one of the few companies in the world manufacturing the product.

 

The company has collaboration with Canson, France for marketing of their artist papers.   It also has a marketing collaboration with world leaders in Artists' Colours: Winsor & Newton, UK.

 

The plant for manufacturing bulk drugs/chemicals, commenced commercial production in 1995-96. Camlin International became a wholly owned subsidiary of the company.

 

During 1998-99 the company has raised a sum of Rs. 75 millions from IDBI through private placement of 16.5% Non Convertible Secured Redeemable Debentures of financing capital expenditure and long term working capital. The Erstwhile Stationery & Art Material Divisions have been merged into Consumer Products Division with effect from 1st April, 1999.

 

The company undertook major expansion in production of anti-oxidant range of products.

 

 

SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT FOR DEMERGER 


During the year under review, the Directors had initiated restructuring of its business by way of demerging its Fine Chemicals Division into a separate Company, with a view to enable the management to focus on respective businesses, provide scope for independent collaborations and expansions and also to help unlock value for members. The scheme was approved by the members and thereafter sanctioned by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court on 17th November, 2006. The process of demerger was completed on 19th December, 2006, that being the effective date under the Scheme of Arrangement. The Fine Chemicals Division has been now demerged as a going concern into a separate Company named Camlin Fine Chemicals Limited w.e.f. 1st July, 2006 (appointed date). The members of Camlin Limited were allotted equity shares by Camlin Fine Chemicals Limited, in terms of the Scheme. The said shares were listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange Limited on 30th March, 2007. 


The current financial accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March, 2007 take into account the effect of the said demerger. In view of this, current years financial results are not comparable with the previous year, appearing in the Annual Accounts. 



REVIEW OF OPERATIONS:

The various restructuring initiatives taken by the management over the last couple of years are now yielding results. These are well reflected in the Company's performance under review which has resulted into operating profit before tax of Rs. 38.079 Millions as against a loss of Rs. 2.214 Millions in the previous year. 

 

The Company has achieved net sales of Rs. 1876.466 Millions for the year under review as compared to Rs. 1923.494 Millions in the previous year. The marginal decline of 2.44% in sales is on account of the Demerger of Company's Fine Chemicals Division w.e.f. 1st July, 2006. The net sales of Fine Chemical Division were Rs. 1 50.530 Millions being sales for first quarter (i.e. till demerger of the Fine Chemicals Division) as against net sales of Rs. 432.709 Millions for the previous year. In other words, excluding this demerged division, net sales of Consumer Products have increased from Rs. 1486.409 Millions to Rs. 1725.936 Millions, which represents a healthy growth of 16.11%. 

 
The Company is taking initiatives to ensure sustainability of growth and profitability in the coming years. The Company is now focusing on topline increase supported by aggressive advertisement and marketing to reposition its existing brands and by reducing operating costs in the business. 

 


MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENT AND SEGMENTWISE PERFORMANCE: 

The Company offers a wide range of products such as Artist Materials, Hobby Colours, Scholastic Colours, Scholastic Stationery Products, Office Products and Writing Instruments under the Camel and Camlin brands and caters to a vast consumer segment for their Fine Art, Scholastic and Office Stationery needs. 

The large portfolio of products, well-known brands, and wide distribution network have helped the Company to retain its market leadership position in many product groups, in spite of competition not only from Indian Companies but also from cheap imports from China and South East Asian countries. It has been possible to maintain this position by their continuous efforts for product development and up gradation by the inhouse R&D team and continuous brand building activities, which has made the Company's brands household names. 

In addition to the business restructuring dealt with earlier in the report, the Company has taken certain initiatives to improve its value creation potential. Some of these initiatives are: 

Ø       Focus on products, which are at the higher end of the value chain. 

Ø       Portfolio review of businesses to aggressively support business with profitable growth potential. 

Ø       Aggressive T. V. campaign for Markers. 

Ø       Promotion of Art in India by Sponsoring 'Euro Art Tour' by the Camel Art Foundation which has gained recognition and popularity from Artists Fraternity and 

Ø       Proactive alliance with technology partners in domains where the Company foresees future business opportunities. As a part of this Company entered into a distribution agreement with ColArt Fine Art & Graphics Ltd. U. K. for exclusive distribution of their products in India, Nepal and Bangladesh. 

Consumer Products contributed to 92% of the total sales of the Company and has achieved net sales of Rs. 1725.936 Millions as compared to Rs. 1486.409 Millions in the previous year. 

OUTLOOK, OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS, RISKS AND CONCERNS: 

Continuous positive development on the economic front, rapid changes in the retail environment and an increasing demand for FMCG products are all favorable indicators for the Company. The growing and young population, rising middle class incomes, changing lifestyles and aspirations present a unique opportunity for a Company like yours. Series of strategic initiatives will henceforth help the Company in mitigating the risks of squeeze on margins and paucity of funds for business development. 

Macro economic factors like economic and political developments, natural calamities may affect the Company and industry at large. 

Nevertheless increasing competitive pressures, dumping of imported products at extremely low prices, rising prices of input material continue to be a cause of concern for the Company. 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: 

The Company has been investing on technology to harness its power towards improving both process and employees productivity. As a part of this the process of implementation of SAP has already started and is expected to go live by July, 2007. The system will connect factory locations, offices and depots all over India. On successful implementation the project would entail standardization of the business process and systems with state of the art technology and would substantially help in reducing operating costs.
