LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY

 

Subject was started in 1984, and was formerly Elgi Tyres and Treads, was promoted by the Elgi group of Coimbatore in technical and financial collaboration with Oliver Rubber Company, US. The company has factories at Palghat, Pondicherry, Coimbatore and Hindupur. 

 
The company manufactures pre-cured tyre treads, tyre inspection spreaders and retreading systems which are widely used in trucks, buses and light commercial vehicles. The company has diversified into the related areas of retreading aircraft and tractor tyres.  

 
The company acquired the know-how of the cold retreading process, acclaimed as the greatest revolution in tyre retreading technology, from Oliver Rubber Company of Oakland, US, the largest manufacturer of tyre retreads in the world. The EIL-procured retreading system is being marketed in India through a network of franchisees, appointed in potential areas. Every franchisee retreads tyres on a licensed production arrangement with EIL to cater to the demands area-wise. Subject provides a single source retread manufacturing package to its franchisees. 

 
Subject is planning to establish operations in Nepal and Bangladesh. In order to rationalise the operating costs and to bring in better focus in operations, it is planning to combine all overseas operations into a wholly owned subsidiary. 
 
In 2000-2001, the Company offered a Voluntary Retirement Scheme at Hindpur Factory and the total cost was Rs.8.45 million. The company is not having any plans to diversify into other business and to focus more on core competency area.

 

Review of operations and future outlook: 

The Company closed the financial year with a turnover of Rs 1.56 billion as against 1.33 billion during the previous year. Other income amounted to Rs.47.15 million, compared to Rs.69.02 million last year. Cash profit was Rs.165.80 million as against Rs.179.10 million. Segment wise, exports increased by 22.10% while sales to franchisees and State transport undertaking registered negative growths. The electric power generated through the wind mills was 4.50 million units compared to 3.77 million units during the previous year During the year 1.5 MW wind turbine was installed near Coimbatore. The company continues to be debt free. 

 
VAT was introduced in Tamilnadu and Pondicherry on 1st January 2007 and 1st July 2007. With this all the manufacturing units are covered by VAT. The full benefit on account of this will be seen during the financial year 2007-8. 
 
The erratic implementation of Service Tax and the confusion prevailing among the enforcing authorities is a hindrance to the growth of manufacturers in the organized sector. Unless a level playing field is created, the organized sector will continues to suffer due to unhealthy competition from the unorganized sector. 

 
The completion of the Golden Quadrilateral and Highway Corridor system will result in rapid radialization. Another very encouraging factor is the growth in radialization in the Bus segment, from 2% to 4%. The Company works very closely with radial tyre manufacturers in promoting the retreading of radial tyres. The tyre manufacturers see the extensive and well trained franchisee network as a strong launch platform for their tyres. 

 
Risks and Concerns 

The primary concern in the industry is the high volatility in raw material prices and the inability to pass on cost increases coupled with unhealthy competition by manufacturers in the unorganized sector. Currently, over 39% of sales, in quantitative terms, is from exports. The strong appreciation of the Indian Rupee is also a major cause for concern. 
 
As a part of overall risk management strategy, all assets are appropriately insured. Foreign exchange fluctuation risk is minimized through proper hedging. 

 

 

 

Internal Control Systems 

Internal Audit is being done every quarter by an independent firm of Chartered Accountants and observations are reported to the management.

 

Immediate steps are taken to rectify any discrepancies. All significant audit observations were discussed in the audit committee meetings. 

 

Subsidiaries: 
The company has made an investment of Rs. 8.77 Million in Elgitread Do Brasil Industria E Commercio De Artefatos De Borracha Limiteda towards capital for expansion of operations. 

 

As Per Website :-

Subject are committed to understanding the needs as a retreader and providing the appropriate solution through a comprehensive range of services.

Very few companies in the industry offer such a complete range of services in retreading. This concept has made us one of the largest suppliers of retreading materials worldwide, having supplied over 600 retreading plants in 35 countries. Their manufacturing facilities include 8 plants in 6 countries to manufacture over 25 million kilograms of retreading material and a very modern facility to manufacture retreading equipment. These are backed by a state-of-the-art training facility and laboratories for research and testing of metals and polymers.

About Retreading

 

·         For most fleets, tyres represent either the second or the third largest item in their operating budget, right after labor and fuel costs.

 

·         The lowest possible cost-per-mile is achieved with a good tyre management program that includes the use of quality retreads.

 

·         Retreads are the replacement tyre of choice for most truckers.

 

·         Retreads are not only cost effective, but they are also dependable, reliable and safe. Retreads are used by truckers with scheduled delivery times, small package delivery companies with guaranteed delivery times, on commercial and military jets and by most school bus operators.

 

·         Retreads are also environmentally friendly. tyres are basically petro-chemical products. It takes almost 100 ltrs. of oil to manufacture one new truck tyre. Most of the oil is found in the casing, which is reused in the retreading process. As a result, it takes only 30 ltrs. of oil to produce a retread.

 

·         Retreaders, like trucking companies, have experienced considerable consolidation. Today, the most successful retreaders are those with the highest quality products, delivering the best possible return on investment to the fleets. Because of the competitive nature of the retreading industry, truckers can expect to see continuous improvement in quality, durability and reliability, as the major retread suppliers annually invest millions of dollars in research and development.
