material.
OVERVIEW
The Indian economy
during the last four years witnessed a GDP growth of around 9% annually. This
has happened for the first time in their country where the GDP is growing
around 9% continuously for four years. In spite of high crude prices and
inflationary trend, as experienced all over the world, their economy may grow
this year i.e. 08-09 also by around 8%. Considering the inflationary trend in
the economy, the expectation of such GDP growth is quite promising.
This has proved
that the economy has tremendous potential. The country is experiencing growth
impulses in several segments of it’s economy.
The Company invested
a sum of Rs.2750 Millions in the year 2006-07 and 2007-08. Considering the
growth potential, the Company has made further plans to invest around Rs.1250
Millions in the year 2008-09. These investments will be in production mode in
phases spread over the entire year.
The Company’s,
ultra modern commercial complex at Veera Desai Road, Andheri ( West), Mumbai is
under construction. This 11 storied office complex was earlier scheduled to be
ready by December 2008. Due to acute shortage of construction workers, the
contractor was notable to complete the building as per the earlier schedule
given by them. It is expected that the building will be ready for occupation
during April/June 2009 quarter.
The Company has
succeeded in divesting its PVC film business at Malanpur, FSW business at
Daman. In the divestment programme the Company has plans to part with the
flexible film business and building at Pondicherry unit 1 where industrial
activity was closed long back.
The Company is in
negotiation for selling its flexible film business and building at Pondicherry
unit - 1. The Company may realise around Rs.350 Millions by sale of these
assets. That will also release working capital involved in running flexible
film business segment.
The Company has
made large investments in last two years in its Plastic piping system, Cross
Laminated film, Protective packaging Products, Industrial products, Material
handling systems and furniture product segments. There is need and opportunity
to further increase the reach of these product segments to meet demand in
several sectors of the economy. Considering the potential, the Company has
planned to invest further monies in these product segments during the current
year.
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE
AND DEVLEOPMENT
Plastics raw material
prices have gone up between 27% to 46% during Jan/June 2008. Inspite of such a
steep
increase, the
demand for plastics products has not gone into de-growth mode. Only the growth
percentage has gone down. The demand growth of plastic products even at such
high prices has demonstrated the strength of the
role played by
Plastics in their economy . For several applications, plastics still is a
material of choice in comparison with products made from conventional
materials.
In their Company’s
product segments, the increase in raw material costs could be transferred to
the product pricing within a time lag of 2 to 5 weeks. Definitely, such steep
increase has hurt the growth of various applications. This has overall
slackened the growth of plastics consumption in the country’s economy. Growth
consumption of plastics which was around 13% in the year 2007-08 may come down
to around 8% in the current year.
This steep
increase has also resulted in substantial increase in the working capital
requirements leading to higher interest cost.
The Government has
moved in a positive manner last year by reducing the Excise duty from 16% to
14%. Central Sales Tax ( CST ) was also reduced from 3% to 2% with effect from
1st June 2008. These moves have partly mitigated the hardship caused due to
increased cost of raw material. To give right fillip to Manufacturing sector
which is growing by single digit and to compete with cheap imports of products,
it is expected from the Government to move quickly to reduce excise duty from 14%
to 8% and C.S.T. to be made zero from the current level of 2%.
The indirect taxes
in India are still very high. A moderate rate of taxes will not only boost the
excise revenue of the Government but also open huge investment opportunities in
many manufacturing sectors which in turn will increase the employment potential
substantially. National Policy on Petrochemicals adopted by the Cabinet last
year has committed to reduce indirect taxes on plastics to a moderate level at
a faster pace. It is expected that the Government will implement this Policy
without any delay to enable the economy to reap substantial benefits accruing
by increasing the consumption of plastics in the country.
Plastics have a
great role to play in boosting agriculture production, augmenting potable water
supply, in housing construction and in infrastructure development. All these
four segments, are most critical in the BHARAT NIRMAN initiative of their
country.

OPERATIONAL
PERFORMANCE
PLASTICS PIPING
SYSTEMS
PLASTIC PIPING
DIVISION
The Financial
Year 2007-2008 has been an eventful
year in the history of Plastic Piping Division. The Company received the power
supply of 132 KVA power line at Gadegaon mega plastics complex by end
October’07, which will ensure least disruption of power supply. The Company
could install and commission all the utilities by end of November’07. The
Company started shifting of it’s existing Pipe plant from Jalgaon MIDC site to
Gadegaon complex with effect from 1st Decemer’07. Entire shifting
activities were completed within two weeks. However, commissioning of the
plants at Gadegaon took nearly four weeks and by the time the normal production
started, it was end January’08. Meanwhile the additional plants ordered towards
capacity expansion were also arriving at sight. The Company commissioned them
one after the other. The entire expansion activities were completed by end
April’08.
The production of Piping
Division was completely disrupted in the month of December’07 and by the time
the normal production was established and sufficient level of inventory was
created, it was end February’08. This had resulted into disruption in the
supply chain for nearly three months. This not only has affected Company’s
business but also affected the channel partners who are solely dependant on the
supply of Piping products from the Company.
After shifting of
Pipe plant from Jalgaon MIDC, the Company has planned re-structuring and
re-layout of Injection moulding Division at Jalgaon. The re-structuring
activity at Jalgaon was completed by April’08. The additional machines which
were ordered for augmenting the Injection moulding capacity were also
commissioned in the month of April’08.
While the Company
was busy in commissioning the new plant, the raw material situation started to
become very volatile. The Government of India imposed anti-dumping duty
effective 21st January’08 on imports from several countries which were major
exporters of PVC resin to India. This has severely affected the availability of
PVC resin and the costs soared. Beginning of March’08 the local raw material
prices started to increase and continued upto end of June’08. The total price
increase was nearly Rs.0.016 Million PMT i.e. 35% in a span of 4 months. Such a
steep increase in such a short time was unparallel in the history of plastics
raw material pricing. This has led to stagnation and uncertainty at market
place. The PVC resin consumption which increased by 8% to 9% between April’07
to March’08 was reduced to zero in the quarter April to June’08. The disruption
in supply chain during December’07 to February’08 and the phenomenal rise in
the raw material prices between March’08 to June’08 affected the business
volume severely. The Plastic Piping Division has ended up the year with a
nominal volume growth of 6.27%.
NEW LAUNCHES
i) CPVC SYSTEM
The Company has
launched CPVC, Hot and Cold Water plumbing system under the brand name of
LIFELINE during the plumbing exhibition at Mumbai in February’08. Initially the
Company launched the product only in South India and then started feeding rest

introduced products in PE 63, PE 80 and PE 100 grades depending on the nature
of application and customer requirement. The Company is in the process of
acquiring BIS certification for PE pipes upto 315 mm dia for water supply,
sewage and sprinkler application which is expected to be received by
September’08. The Company has also applied to Telecom authority for approval of
the supply of PE Cable Duct pipes. The necessary formalities are completed. The
approval is expected by September’08.
Meanwhile, the
company is also exploring the possibility of expanding the range upto 400 mm
dia. This will enable the company to participate in the majority of
Infrastructure, water supply and sewage projects. The Company is also exploring
the use of PE pipes for Irrigation/sprinklers and Bore Well – column pipe etc.
To supply complete system inclusive of fittings, Company has undertaken a plan
to launch Injection moulded and fabricated fittings in the year 2008-2009.
iii) INJECTION
MOULDED INSPECTION CHAMBERS.
The Company has
launched Injection moulded Inspection Chambers under the brand name of Ultra.
In 315 mm dia. The Company will be able to give 5 different configurations
while in 250 mm dia the Company has two configurations which can meet the
Housing requirements.
The Company has
also launched 450 mm dia Inspection Chambers which can find usage in large
Housing complexes and multi storied apartments. The product has been well
received at the market place and the Company will be able to supply complete
product line for Under Ground Sewage system based on the Ultra Chambers and
Ecodrain pipes.
iv) ROTATIONAL
MOULDING
The Company has
installed a pilot plant to develop products related to Under Ground Drainage
and Sewage system. 600 mm dia Inspection Chambers with the relevant
configurations have already been launched. The Company has plans to develop
large dia meter manhole and septic tank by Rotational Moulding to make NUDrain
system complete in all aspects.
In Building and
installation category of products the plumbing products have shown significant
growth. With the increase in metal prices, plastic plumbing products are
finding more and more acceptance and the Company expects good growth in
plumbing as well as in Hot and Cold water plumbing segment.
Similarly PE Pipes
will boost the supply in Civil and Infrastructure segment replacing expensive
metal pipes with better properties to meet critical functional requirements.
The Company aims to
increase the capacity of PE pipes as the market develops.
The Turnover of
specialty products increased from 12.70% to 13.90% during the year . The
Company is investing monies and augmenting marketing resources to increase this
to 18% in the next two years. The working of Kanpur plant has been quite
satisfactory. The plant has achieved around 90% of its capacity utilization.
The entire production was sold in the North Indian market so that the product
can reach at a lower transport cost with a short time gap.
The Company
continues its thrust on exports. The Company received the prestigious Top
Exporters Award once again in the segment of Pipes and Fittings.
CONSUMER PRODUCTS
FURNITURE
Turnover of
Furniture Business has gone up from Rs.1380 Millions to Rs.1470 Millions. The
Company has restricted its furniture manufacturing activity at three locations
only viz: Pondicherry (U.T.), Durgapur (West Bengal), Lalru (Punjab). North
East market will be catered from Durgapur and Pondy factories. There was a steep
increase of almost Rs. 27 per Kg i.e 40% in raw material prices within a short
span of two months.
The Company is
focusing to broaden the range of value added furniture products, which help to
build the superior brand image of Company’s products for its durability and
aesthetics. Such products command better price realization and are relatively
less affected by raw material cost volatility. Company has planned to further
increase the Premium Item Range by launching new products. Company is the only
supplier of Painted Upholstered Plastics Chairs. The share of such products
sale was 19% in value during the year. The Company intends to increase share of
such products by another 3% in value during next twelve months.
The Company has
now more than 160 Exclusive Franchisee Show Rooms on All-India basis displaying
entire range of Supreme Furniture to a customer in a comfortable ambience. The
Company’s furniture products enjoy good acceptance in the market for its
quality, design, color and range. Supreme brand is also perceived as a premium
brand in the country.
The Company also
intends to explore the addition of certain related items for trading through
existing channel partners.
MAT BUSINESS
Business was down
by around 6% in the year. Demand continued to be good in the export market.
However, continuous labour unrest at their ancillary manufacturers plant,
reduced the availability of product. Their ancillary unit now confirms that
they have arrived at an appropriate settlement with their workers and would be
in a position to regulate the supply from hereon. In view of good demand and
adequate supplies they hope to fare much better this year.
INDUSTRIAL
PRODUCTS
The Division grew
over 7% in value term over previous year. Business from the Auto sector for the
Company almost remained at the levels of last year. However, Appliances sector
(i.e Air conditioning etc.) performed exceedingly well. Consumer electronics
demand was less in comparison to previous year.
The Company
expects better growth this year. Company has received new business from
existing customers and has added new customers as well. The Company has bagged
order from Tata Motors for their prestigious Global Truck Project constituting
more than 65 parts. A dedicated plant is being set up at Jamshedpur with a
Capital Outlay of about Rs.170 Millions to meet this demand. The plant will go
into production coinciding with start of Tatas world Truck project at
Jamshedpur. The business from this plant is likely to exceed Rs2000 Millions in
4 to 5 years after it goes in to production. Apart from this, Company also
bagged order for parts for one new vehicle from Tata Motors to be manufactured
at its Pune Plant. New business has been added in electronics segment also.
The Company has
started an Assembly unit at Nasik to cater requirements of Dash Boards and few
more assembled parts for Scorpio model of MandM. The Company has decided to
modernize Durgapur plant for streamlining its operations for auto parts. This
will be completed by December 08.
The supply from Khushkhera
factory at Rajsthan has been fully streamlined and the unit has acquired all
important certificates in the area of QMS (Quality Management System) EMS
(Environment Management System) and Safety, Health and Hygiene. In line with
the Company’s policy, to implement QMS and EMS, drive has been taken to upgrade
systems at all locations. Paint shop at Noida factory has been upgraded to
handle more volumes and improve Quality and Productivity and has been
operationalised successfully. Augmentation of paint shop at Talegaon has been
completed and will go into production during this year.
In order to meet
requirement of high gloss with increased Aesthetic value for TV front cabinets
of LCD Models, Company has acquired a new technology of Steam Moulding. This
process eliminates need for painting of moulded parts. They expect good growth
in this during current year.
The Company has
taken and is in the process of taking various actions to become solution provider
from just part supplier. Towards this move, the Company has established a
centralized Technical Centre at its Talegaon unit. This will improve Company’s
Design and Engineering capabilities and is expected to become a catalyst in
getting additional business from Automotive OEM’s with initial orders already
received from M and M.
The Company is
aggressively persuing its Re-engineering efforts to the suppliers of World
Class plastics parts and Assembly System. Towards achieving this goal,
following actions have been initiated for taking up in future.

MATERIAL HANDLING
DIVISION
This Division
achieved a growth of about 56% in value terms and 27% in volume terms during
last year for Material Handling business.
The Company
launched 25 new moulds of Crates for varying applications during the year from
different manufacturing locations. Theirs is the only Company giving variety of
Crates from six manufacturing sites spread across the country to cater the All
India Market and none of the competitors has so many of their own production
facilities. This helps their Company in servicing the clients in least lead
time at most economical cost.
The Company has
set up fabrication facility to cater to tailor made needs of customers not only
at the manufacturing location but also at other places. These are value added
products. The Company expects to do business of value added products to the
tune of 20% which was 13% last year.
The Company has
become main supplier of material handling system to majority of Retail Chain
and Logistic companies.
The Company is
planning to launch few more models of Crates for which order for the necessary
moulds have been placed.
The Company has
started a new production facility at their mega complex at Gadegaon near
Jalgaon. This facility is now fully operational. Geographically it is the most
suitable site to service all India market effectively.
The Company has
also installed a Roto Moulding machine at Gadegaon and has organized moulds of
Crates and Dust Bins to be launched during Sept’08. The Company has also plans
to launch Roto Moulded Pallets.
The Company is
also the first Company to Launch Injection Moulded Pallets in India
successfully by installing bigger capacity Injection Moulding Machine of 2800
Ton. They have also broadened the range by introducing five newer models to
cater to specific needs for a variety of applications. The Company has started
marketing of mobile garbage bins.
The Company also intends
to market other material handling products in this year. At appropriate time
the Company may decide to manufacture these products in the country.
PACKAGING PRODUCTS
PACKAGING FILMS
Volume grew by 2%
while value sale grew by over 17%.Business for Multilayer films grew by 35%.
However, businesses for commodity products were down. The Company also reduced
its dependence on doing job work for a certain customer. Films for several new
applications were developed in this year which will enhance the customer base
and reduce the job work being done.
The Company has
planned to divest this business as it is an insignificant player in this
business.
PROTECTIVE
PACKAGING PRODUCTS
The division
recorded a value growth of 15 % and a volume growth of 10% in the year.
Vanilla products
such as EPE and Air bubble, suffered growth as competition from the unorganized
sector was intense. However the division has taken several measures to overcome
this problem and is set on a growth path. Cross linked PE block foam capacity
was increased in line with increase in demand and high capacity utilization. A
growth of 23% was recorded and further growth of over 20% is expected in this
year. The division has introduced several new grades to meet the technical
requirements of its customers. The process of developing new products continue
to bring higher value to the division.
As certain
environmental clearances were not received for their Urse plant, extruded cross
linked foam could not be started on schedule. Due to further expected delay the
division shifted this plant from Urse to Malanpur and commenced production by
March 08. It is to the credit of the technical team that the equipment could
produce saleable product from day one incurring a wastage of only 1 MT
comparable to international standards. The product has been well accepted. The
process of validation of their product is on and they hope that most HVAC (
Heat Ventilation and air-conditioning) consultants would be approving this
product before the end of this calendar year. They hope that the plant’s
capacity of 500 Tons per annum will be fully utilized by then. The division
would then extend this product manufacturing in other regional locations.
The division
continues with its commitment to be an innovative cost effective solution
provider in the areas of protective packaging , civil and insulation. To
enhance this effort, the division has added and is adding several new
converting equipments to make specialized end products for the customer.
Alongwith their packaging designing and product up gradation capabilities ,
these new facilities will add great value to the customer as well as the bottom
line of the division.
Also the division
has made a modest beginning of offering turnkey packaging solutions to its
customers. Besides offering packaging design and product, the division will
also source other packaging materials from other manufacturers and become a one
source supplier for all packaging needs of its customer along with doing the
packaging physically.
The division has
also tied up with several world renowned manufacturers of speciality foams to
market their products. After seed marketing and assessing the potential market
of these products, the Company would look to manufacture these products, with
know how from those companies. The Company is also in talks with several other
world leaders to further enhance its product portfolio. The division is also
undergoing market studies to identify new products to meet the demanding
expectations of its customers.
The division has
in-house designed and developed a PE foam extruder to manufacture 0.5 density
foam in 25 kg mł density, unique not only in the country, but also
internationally. The benefits of this development should accrue in the coming
year.
The division has also
developed recently a speciality product made from airbubble film for underdeck
insulation. This material was hitherto imported in the country. This product is
gaining acceptance and should soon be a well established product for this
application. Its Hosur unit has successfully worked on saving power and fuel.
By incorporating boiler condensed hot water recovery system and necessary
modification in the process profile, this unit would save 52,000 litres of
diesel consumption against a consumption of 210,000 litres last year. This
system has been adapted at Malanpur unit and would further reduce the
consumption of diesel. By improving efficiencies and process improvements the
power consumption dropped from 0.79 units per kg to 0.73 units per kg and is expected
to drop further in this year.
Urse unit could
not be started due to delays in getting environmental clearances. This is
however expected shortly and manufacturing should commence by the second
quarter of this financial year.
Due to a very steep
rise in prices of polymers in the last quarter of the financial year and the
non acceptance of OE customers to accept any price increase, margins were under
severe pressure. In spite of that the division maintained its operating profit.
Price increases are now getting in place and this will restore the previous
profitability of the division. With several of the above mentioned efforts the
division is poised for a growth of over 15% in volume in this year
CROSS LAMINATED
FILM
The Company uses
cross laminated film for making Tarpaulins, bags, rainwater harvesting systems,
fumigation covers and for varieties of agricultural applications.
The product sales
increased by 35% during the year. The Company sold 8948 tons of products
against 6639 tons during the previous year. The increased installed capacity
was fully utilised during the year. The fabrication capacity was also increased
with new sites at Gadegaon in Maharashtra and at Pondicherry. However demand
for the product outpaced the supply and the orders to the tune of Rs.140
Millions have been carried forward to the next year. Export increased to 1392
tons against 1072 tons of the previous year. The volume in export was
restricted due to non-availability of the product.
Encouraged by the
overwhelming demand for the product and to increase market share, the Company
has decided to further increase the installed capacity by 4000 MT with capital
outlay of Rs.250 Millions. Orders for the equipments have already been placed
and the capacity will be operational by the end of March 2009 in phases. The
Company has taken further steps to install additional balancing equipments with
an outlay of Rs.110 Millions in this year which will also be operational in the
last quarter of 2008-09. It will enable the Company to produce around 13000
tons of products during 2008-09 and about 17000 tons during the year 2009-2010.
The Company’s
collaborators are in the advanced stage of inventing next generation XF film
with further superior properties. The Company has entered into agreement with
them to enjoy an exclusive right to produce the same in India and SAARC
countries. The Company expects to launch one of the products of new technology
i.e. Cross Line Bonded Film in the April/June 2009 quarter.
PLASTIC RAW
MATERIAL
Starting the year
2008, Polymer prices in line with the increase in the crude oil prices started
increasing. The prices of various raw materials between Jan 2008 to June 2008
have gone up between 27% to 46%.The increase in the raw material prices was
more steep between April to June 2008. This has led to severe demand
contraction for plastics products through out the country.
The world economy
which had grown 4.9% in the year 2007 is slated to grow by around 4% in the
current year due to high inflationary trend and recession in USA. The demand
for plastics raw material was outstripping the supply upto May 08. The Company
is now seeing the trend of demand contraction.
The prices of
Polymers stopped rising since July 08. The price of crude oil which has gone
upto USD 147 per barrel has also come down to around USD 125 per barrel. It is
expected that the oil prices may drop further in the near future. In turn, it
may facilitate the reduction in polymer prices.
There was
depreciation of Indian rupee by around 8% in last quarter ie. April/June 2008.
This has exacerbated the cost of plastics raw material further where the local
prices are fixed in line with the landed cost of imported material. The Company
was able to transfer the increased cost of raw materials along with the
operating margin within two to five weeks time lag for most of its products.
This increase in raw material costs and foreign exchange loss due to
depreciation of Rupee have impacted operating margins by about 2% during the
last quarter of the year .
FINANCE
Since January,
2008, the trend of hardening of interest rates continued, due to inflationary
concerns and increase in benchmark rates (including Repo rates and CRR) by RBI
at regular intervals putting constraint on credit growth and squeezing liquidity
from the system. The average interest rates of the outstanding interest bearing
liabilities at the year end of the last three years i.e. as on 30.06.2006,
30.06.2007 and 30.06.2008 were 7.81%, 9.12% and 10.76% respectively. It clearly
shows that the rates of interest have been increasing for the last three years
and the trend is likely to remain firm in the near future also.
The unprecedented
rise in crude oil prices and consequent increase in the polymer prices,
particularly during the last quarter (from April 2008 to June 2008) has
necessitated higher working capital requirements on account of higher values of
inventories and Book debts, as compared to the previous year.
As per past
practice, the Company continued to avail major part of its Working Capital
through placement of CPs / NCDs at a considerable lower interest rates. In the
prevailing circumstances, the Company has managed the interest cost reasonably
well.
The Company enjoys
excellent relations with its Bankers and has been able to negotiate various
banking facilities favourably.
CRISIL has
assigned A+/Stable Rating to Working Capital Borrowings which indicates
adequate safety with regard to timely payment of interest and principal, for aggregate
Fund Based and Non Fund Based facilities. In respect of the Short Term Debt
Programme the Rating of “P1” has been assigned by CRISIL, which indicates that
the degree of safety with regard to timely payment of interest and principal on
the instrument is very strong.

Company Profile
Founded in 1942, Supreme is an acknowledged leader of India's plastics
industry.
Handling volumes of over 100,000 tonnes of polymers annually,
effectively makes them the country's largest plastics processors.
Not surprisingly, they also offer the widest
and most comprehensive range of plastic products in India.
Their 18 advanced plants are powered by technology from world leaders,
and complement their extensive facilities for R and D and new product
development.
In fact, Supreme is credited with pioneering
several products in India. These include Cross- Laminated Films, HMHD Films,
Multilayer Films, SWR Piping Systems, PP Mats and more.
They are seeking to perform strongly internationally as well. Exports
remain a focal area of their operations, even as they add newer markets to
their list worldwide.
2009 will see The Supreme Group turnover
touch a projected Rs.21,000 million (USD 500 million).
Quality
Philosophy:
At Supreme, they aspire to Total Quality.
They stand committed to seeing this
excellence permeate every aspect of their operations, at every level in the
organization Several of their plants are ISO certified: for their quality
management systems, safety norms, and environmental performance standards.
It is indicative of their larger quality
consciousness that helps them make superior products, exceed the expectations
of their existing clients, and win new customers with confidence.
Social
Responsibility:
In their endeavour to contribute their mite
to society, and to the environment they operate in, they have taken several
small but meaningful steps.
Take education, for example. Supreme has
established a Sanskrit college, an industrial training institute and medical
institutions in Rajasthan.
Supreme Petrochem has adopted three villages
near its plant in Maharashtra : and is providing drinking water, constructing
classrooms, offering scholarships, even contributing resources for the local
library.
Over 100,000 trees have been planted as part
of a social afforestation programme.
Already accredited with ISO 14001, many of
their units are demonstrating industry best practices of pollution control,
waste management and energy optimization.
Research and Development:
Their Technology
Centre, near Mumbai, spearheads their thrust into the area of new product
development.
The centre's world
class Tool Room undertakes CAD, CAM and CAE related projects: notably for
engineering and fabricating intricate moulds and dies.
More importantly, the Centre is equipped
with diverse software and systems to design, produce prototypes and assess
quality in a variety of areas. Evaluation is based on simulating prospective performance
of the product before clearing it for commercial manufacture or use.
The Centre also serves as a facilitator - as
a point of induction for new technologies and adapting them to Indian needs.
Product development teams at all Supreme
Divisions work in synergy with the Centre, to effectively turn specific
customer requirements into precisely tailored products.
Human Resource Development:
At Supreme, they
value people as their most prized asset.
Nurturing this
resource is therefore a priority with them.
By providing opportunities for enhancement
of individual skills and personal growth, they seek to synthesize motivation of
the self with the belief in the larger growth of the company.
Employees at all levels are encouraged to
participate in quality management and technological update programmes. They
reward the spirit of dynamism and proactive response, across the board, in
their 2000 strong organisation.
Group:
From modest beginnings, as a small single product
company in the 1950s, to a Rs.20000 Millions multi-unit conglomerate with
India's largest plastic products portfolio today, the Supreme Group has
certainly come a long way.
This unrelenting growth has come through
diverse efforts: consolidation and expansion, enhancement of capacities,
addition of fresh products and variants, establishment of newer plants, and
occasionally, even acquisition of under-performing but high potential units and
brands.
Understandably, the integration route has
been successfully explored by the Group.
For instance, in a major backward
integration move, Supreme Petrochem Limited-- and with it, one of India's
largest world class styrenics complexes-- came into being.
Similarly, diversification and horizontal integration
have been fuelled by strategic collaborations with technology leaders. Two
prime examples of this are introduction of multi-layer films and calendered
film products in the country.
The Group has made substantial complementary
investments in R & D. This has not only helped in a thorough and superior
assimilation of cutting edge technologies, but also contributed to a collateral
development of newer and improved products on a continuing basis.
So, while Supreme SWR systems were India's
first viable alternative to conventional GI pipes and fittings, the unflagging
creation of newer fittings keeps an unmatched range growing ever further .
A client-friendly approach, a readiness to
customize and an eagerness to provide all technical support have played no mean
role in propelling Supreme to leadership.
An open mind and receptivity to new ideas
and needs remain hallmarks of the Group's interface with all customers-- in
India and across the globe .
