LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

The company shifted its’ Registered Office from E-29, Okhla Industrial Area, Phase II, New Delhi – 110 020 to present address with effect from 27.03.2002.

 

Johnson Matthey India Private Limited, a 100 percent subsidiary of the UK-based Johnson Matthey Plc, is initiating measures to set-up a facility in its existing plant in Manesar, Haryana to manufacture catalytic converters for heavy-duty diesel vehicles. The subject company supplies catalysts to remove the pollutants emitted by diesel vehicles in the commercial sector, primarily trucks and buses, in the next couple of years.

 

The Indian subsidiary is a part of Johnson Matthey’s Environment Catalysts & Technologies (ECT) group and caters to the automobile industry. The catalysts section is again divided into two entities – Environment Catalysts & Technologies (ECT) and Process Catalysts & Technologies (PCT). The Indian unit is one among the company’s 10 global manufacturing units and seven tech centres. Johnson Matthey India Private Limited has been engaged in work in India since 1998. It set-up its first unit in Okhla in Delhi and then moved to its present plant in Manesar in November 2000. It’s a state-of-the-art plant with latest machineries churning out the latest technology products .The current capacity of the plant is four million catalyst per annum and its main clients include OEMs like Maruti, Ford and Mahindra & Mahindra. It also supplies to major OEMs in the two-wheeler industry, with TVS being a major customer for a long time. Recently, Johnson Matthey has also bagged orders for catalytic converters for Maruti’s next diesel engine project coming up in 2006-2007.  The Indian and the Chinese markets are a major focus area for Johnson Matthey. However, even though these two economies happen to be the largest growing markets for international players, Silva doesn’t see the need of establishing any R&D centre in India in the foreseeable future. “The Process Engineering Group in India works closely with the technical centres in Royston, UK and Japan.

 

The company has three development centres around the world – Royston (UK), Kitsuregawa (Japan) and the Wayne (USA). The Indian unit relies more on the Japanese tech centre. In the Indian context, the company has achieved all the major quality standards, including ISO 9001 & 9002, ISO 14001, TS 16949 and OHSAS 18001. The company, which has 10-15 percent of its revenue coming from exports, has been selling its products to Suzuki in Japan and for the after market business in the United Kingdom. In the domestic market too, Johnson Matthey enjoys the majority share. The parent company did a PBT (profit before tax) of almost Ł200 million last year. Regarding the Indian unit, considering the growth that the market has experienced, Silva hopes its turnover would reach Ł14 million by fiscal 2005-06.

 

Other Loans : External Commercial Borrowings from Johnson Matthey Plc, UK

 

The subject is also supplying to major OEMs of automobile Industry in the domestic market.

Outlook for the Year 2007-2008:

All these technologies are on PC Line which was installed in the year 2003 and is successfully running. Theses new technologies have helped Maruti in their effort to reduce cost and will also help them to meet  Government legislative requirements. Also on the year 2007, the company would full fledge start supplying one new parts to Maruti, for its model M.
