FURTHER INFORMATION
History
Sandvik, Sweden, holds 73.22% of the equity in Sandvik Asia.
The company was founded in 1960 through negotiations between the Indian
government and Sandvik, Sweden. It achieved a commendable position in the
carbide tool segment through in-depth research and development. In 1994, the
company restructured itself into three product divisions -- coromat, rock tool
and hard material.
The company was awarded the ISO certification. In 1993, an additional
investment of Rs 60 Millions was made in modernisation projects. In 1994, this
figure jumped to Rs 100 Millions. In the same year, the company restructured
its activities under three divisions -- rock tools division, coromant division
and hard materials division. It introduced tooling products like U-max
endmills, die-making tools, coronite, cermets, U-lock and Q-cut inserts, T-max
290 cutters, waveline inserts, etc.
In 1994, Sandvik started promoting salpunite guide rolls directly to new
markets in south-east Asia and achieved a breakthrough in the export of latest
grade of hard material and other intermediate powders. New markets were
developed in the US, the UAE, Malaysia, Srilanka and Nepal.
During 1996-97, the company entered into a seven year technical collaboration
agreement with Sandvik AB for availing of the latest Sandvik technology
/knowhow for the purpose of designing and manufacturing of various cemented
carbide cutting tools and cutting tool systems. The company has merged Titex
India, a Sandvik Group Company, with itself with effect from Jan. 2001 and the
merger of Kanthal India was als completed in 2002.
A new business division, known as Sandvik Rock Processing Division, is being
established within the company. This is pursuant to Sandvik Group, through its
Mining and Construction business area, reaching a global agreement with Metso
Corporation of Finland covering acquisition of segment of Svedala Industri AB,
Sweden.
During 2001-02 Sandik, AB made an open offer to shareholders of Sandvik Asia
Limited at a price of Rs.850 per share. Subsequent to this the shareholding of
Sandik AB and its subsidiaries in the Company's paid-up capital went up above
90%.In consequence, the company was delisted from the Stock Exchanges in
compliance with the SEBI's takeover regulations.
Background
Subject was
incorporated on 8 July 1960 under the Companies Act, 1956 as a subsidiary of
Sandvik AB. Sandvik AB is a body corporate registered in Sweden and having its
registered office in Sandviken. SAL has its primary work location and
registered office at Pune and additional manufacturing work locations at
Chiplun (Maharashtra), Mehsana (Gujarat), Patancheru (Andhra Pradesh) and Hosur

manufacturing and trading of tungsten carbide tools, rock processing
equipments, thermostatic electrical bimetal strips, wires, ribbons, heating
elements, cold finished tubes/pipes and manufacturing of hot extruded seamless
stainless steel tubes/pipes.
Intangible assets and amortization
Intangible assets
are recognised when the asset is identifiable, is within the control of the
Company, it is probable that the future economic benefits that are attributable
to the asset will flow to the Company and cost of the asset can be reliably
measured. Acquired intangible assets are recorded at their acquisition price
and are amortised over their estimated useful life on a straight line basis,
commencing from the date the assets are available for their use. The useful
life of the intangible assets is reviewed by the management at each balance
sheet date. Goodwill represents excess of consideration paid over ascribed
value of intangible assets and fair value of net assets taken over on
acquisition of Mining and Construction ('M&C') division of Kennametal Widia
India Limited ('KWIL') by the tools business of Sandvik Mining and Construction
Tools India Limited (formerly Sandvik Smith Asia Limited).
These intangible
assets are amortised based on management's estimate of the period over which
economic benefit is expected to be derived therefrom / over their contracted
period of use, as under:
|

Impairment
In accordance with
Accounting Standard 28 - Impairment of Assets (AS 28), the carrying amounts of the
Company's assets including intangible assets are reviewed at each balance sheet
date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such
indications exist, the assets recoverable amount is estimated, as the higher of
the net selling price and the value in use. An impairment loss is recognised
whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit exceeds
its recoverable amount. If at the balance sheet date, there is an indication
that a previously assessed impairment loss no longer exists, the recoverable
amount is reassessed and the asset is reinstated at the recoverable amount
subject to a maximum of depreciable historical cost.
General
Market Situation
India's economy is on an ever increasing growth curve. Excellent performances

TUBING IN EUROPE
Sandvik Calamo, part of Sandvik Materials Technology, is offering stock availability of its high-purity tubing for semi-conductor manufacturing and clean gas applications from the new Sandvik distribution centre based at Venlo in the Netherlands. The new stock is designed to improve delivery service by being closer to customers, particularly in Benelux, Germany and France and to meet requirements for pipe-work, repair and refurbishment projects. Tubing is being held in imperial and metric sizes from 0.250" outside diameter x 0.035" thickness up to 1" x 0.065 and 6mm outside diameter x 1mm thickness up to 18mm x 1.5mm. The 12500 square meters, facility will service distributors and end users with not only high purity tubes, but also Sandvik’s standard, commercial range of stainless steel tube, pipe, bar, hollow bar, fittings and flanges.
PRECISION
PRESSURE TRANSMITTER
The new pressure transmitter ’x|act i’ from UK Instruments and Controls, has been developed with a basic element of a piezoresistive pressure sensor with high signal stability linearisation of the sensor signal and compensation of the thermal error, which is done by intelligent digital electronics. All media wetted parts are stainless steel 1.4435 (316L). Some key features include: 10:1 turndown ratio of pressure range, 170mbar through to 35 bar ranges, media temperatures up to 300C, full adjustability of zero, span and damping function by push buttons, 4-20mA output as standard with optional HART communication, integrated 3 level display with units, text and bar graph and stainless steel ball housing or die cast aluminium housing.
In November 2005 Stainless Steel World will organise
the fourth consecutive Stainless Steel World Conference & Expo in the MECC
Congress Centre in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The formula of this event will
be based on the successful formula of the Stainless Steel World 1999, 2001 and
2003 events in the Hague and Maastricht but will be extended with some new
elements in order to make it an even more attractive experience for the entire
industry.
- About 75 papers will be presented and about 15 workshops will be
organised by members of the Steering Committee and/or industry experts.
The end-user oriented Steering Committee will be chaired by Thierry
Cassagne, TotalFinaElf.
- Over 30 young engineers from major end users participated at the
so-called masterclasses which facilitated the exchange of information with
senior industry experts at the 2003 Conference. So again these
masterclasses will be part of the programme in 2005.
- Also Stainless Steel World will facilitate a special forum for
students who are involved in research work on corrosion resistant
alloys.The forum will be an informal get together where students will be
able to show their R & D work under progress that could be of interest
to users and/or producers of stainless steels.
- For the first time Stainless Steel World will organise a special
seminar on the application of stainless steels for Architectural Building
and Construction following on to the successful launch of the Stainless
Building Bulletin.
- For the first time both the promotion and simultaneous translations
in the English, German and French language will be offered during the
conference.
- The social programme including a plant tour and a partner programme
will be more comprehensive in order to facilitate networking
opportunities.Within this context the monumental city of Maastricht with
its bourgondian lifestyle, famous restaurants and museums is an obvious
choice for the venue.
- The largest exhibition purely dedicated to corrosion resistant
alloys will be organised in parallel with the Conference including
dedicated seminars statistics on product-market developments. Compared to
Stainless Steel World 2003 the Expo will be extended; they expect more
exhibiting companies, approximately 140-170 in total, and they expect to
attract around 3,500 visitors.
Based on the
organisers’ experience and the strong synergical effects of the Stainless Steel
World magazine, the Stainless Building Bulletin and associated websites more
than 350 conference delegates are expected.
