LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Other Details:

 

Operations and Future Plans:

 

The overall performance of The company during the year 2006-2007 was satisfactory inspite of some sales decline as compared to the previous year. This impact on sales was mainly due to the possibility of Zero duty imports as per ITA (WTO). During the year, The Company Could earn a net profit (before tax) of Rs. 0.821 Millions.

 

The growth of telecom network due to the higher broadband application and bandwidth demand continues to be good and should accelerate during the current year 2007-08. This would generate good demand for Optical fiber cables and hence would also help the company to improve the sales of its products. The company expects a minimum growth of 60% in its business during the current year. However, the overall profitability shall also depend on the actual volatility in petroleum based raw materials due to the high crude oil prices which still remain a risk factor.

 

Fixed Assets:

 

·         Land (Leasehold)

·         Factory Building

·         Plant and Machinery

·         Vehicles

·         Furniture and Fixture

Company Profile:

 

Subject a part of the ITCO group having diverse business activities, was incorporated in 1995 to exclusively develop and manufacture thixotropic gels for fibre optic cables. 


Situated in the industrial town of Hosur (40 Km from Bangalore in India) with world class manufacturing and R and D facilities, ITCO pioneered the quality manufacture of Thixotropic Gels (thixotropic cable filling & flooding compounds) in India and remains a key player in the market. The present yearly production capacity is 7200 metric tons. 


The ITCO group started its activities in 1938 as a manufacturer and exporter of Mica and Mica products for use in electrical appliances and later diversified into handling other products for Telecom Cables and Power Capacitors industry. 

Subject also represents Alcan Packaging Kreuzlingen AG, Switzerland (condensor aluminium foils) and Bollore, France (polypropylene films). 


Aiming to be an important supplier of speciality raw materials, Subject today has a presence in the key Infrastructure areas like Telecom, Power and Mining. 


The Sales volume handled by Subject is continuously increasing and is currently exceeding 30 million US Dollars per annum

 

Subject has the right solution when longitudinal water barrier becomes necessary. ITCOGEL protects fibres from moisture and mechanical stress. Subject products meet the exacting standards set by today's cable manufacturing and joining techniques. Their product line incorporates synthetic and aliphatic hydrocarbons having proven compatibility with a wide variety of fibre coatings, inks and tube construction materials including PBTP, Nylon 12, Polypropylene, etc. 


Their versatile Gels are being successfully used in a wide variety of cable designs, including Loose Tube, Central Tube, Ribbon Construction and Slotted Core. 


The ITCOGEL range combining features like non-toxicity, stability at a wide temperature range and well-defined flow characteristics, is available commercially mainly under ITCOGEL T and ITCOGEL C series for filling and flooding applications respectively. The basic difference is in their degree of softness and rheological properties as measured by viscosity at various shear rates. These products are highly pure, non-melting, thixotropic gels that can be used for extrusion at high temperatures above 200°C while remaining pliable even at temperatures below – 50°C. 


ITCOGEL T series products exhibit a high degree of thixotropicity. They are specifically designed to pass the drip test at 80°C while maintaining an excellent softness even at – 60°C, allowing stress-free radial and tangential movement of the fibres. Besides having good cone penetration values, they also have significant rheological characteristics of Gel, especially the yield stress and recovery time, which affect performance during processing and service lift. These Gels remain fluid for sufficient time to allow correct fibre overfeed into the tube, which is essential for loose tube and central tube design. 


ITCOGEL C series also includes interesting options of water absorbent thixotropic gels, which ensure 100 % water tightness of the cables. This product range also offers options for applications requiring hot melt jelly (Current grades – ITCOGEL C 500 and C 510) 


The categories of products:

 

·         Filling Gels

·         Flooding Gels

·         Specility Gels

 

 

Innovation with them is a continuous process. Their drive to provide options that increase productivity is the key to their association with value demanding and satisfied customers. 


Their research lab has a unique pilot plant which gives them the added advantage of being able to provide optimal solutions for any process equipment by consolidating all technical aspects. It also gives them the necessary freedom and expertise to attempt making futuristic gels for the telecommunications industry. Their light weight and low density gels under the ITCOGEL LF series, in commercial use for the past several years, are a testimony to this.
