HISTORY

 

Ratnamani Metals & Tubes (RMTL), incorporated in Sep.'83 as a small scale industrial undertaking as Ratnamani Metals & Tubes Pvt Ltd, became a deemed public limited company in Jul.'89. Another small-scale unit, Ratnamani Tube Industries Pvt Ltd was set up by the same promoters in 1985, which too became a public limited company in Jul.'90. Both the companies were converted into medium-scale units through expansion within 2-3 years of establishment. Ratnamani Tube Industries was amalgamated with Ratnamani Metals & Tubes in Apr.'91. 
 
 RMTL manufactures stainless steel seamless and welded pipes and tubes of various diameters upto 16" (cap.: 3000 tpa). In addition, it undertakes job-work for drawing of pipes. 


In Mar.'93, the company came out with a public issue to part-finance its Rs 6.57-cr project to upgrade its manufacturing facilities and augment its working capital. Under this project, in 1993-94, it installed four pilger machines imported from Intertec, Germany. 


It is having a separate divisions for S S Instrumentation Tubes and S S Heat Exchanger Tubes with additional capacity of 10 MT and 100 MT per month respectively. It has also undertaken modernisation of Weilded Tubes manufacturing facilities which was successfully developed in the year 1999-2000.

The change in thinking has been because of a confidence that India is making its presence felt firmly in World Economy. The word 'multinational' no longer means a foreign company. There are a sizable number of 'Indian Multinationals' now and the number seem to be growing.

 

The globally competitive assertion of India is visible as even larger amounts are being invested in ventures located worldwide. 


The pipes and tubes industry is no exception to this change. There is a huge potential demand for pipes and tubes manufactured in India, or manufactured by Indian entrepreneurs in plants located outside India. There would be ample opportunities and the key to unlock those would be the competitiveness and servicing of the customers'requirements. 


The two major Industry segments in which the Company has strong presence are Oil & Gas and Power.
