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 mln was made in modernisation projects. In 1994, this figure jumped to Rs 100 mln. 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 subject 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.

 

GENERAL MARKET SITUATION :

 

India managed a reasonable growth in GDP of 6.7% in fiscal (April-March) 2008-09-against the widely held belief

of 5-6%, in view of on going global financial crisis. In order to combat the slow down in the economy, the recent budget has stressed expenditure in rural sector and infrastructure resulting in a large fiscal deficit of 6.8% of GDP. While the liquidity in the market is adequate, wholesale price inflation is currently in the negative because of high base effect of last year and sharp drop in oil prices. However, the consumer price index continues to be high, close to 10%.  This may cause further distress with a poor monsoon. Industrial Production Index and Manufacturing has been continuously declining since mid 2007 and went into negative regime in September 2008-March 2009 period, but is seeing revival in recent times, particularly in July 2009. Construction sector had retained its growth at +7% but both capital investments and basic industries like steel and power had seen a dip in the above period. Industries important for Sandvik like automotive and general engineering had fared poorly in last fiscal, but are showing signs of turn around-assisted by fiscal incentives. India remained relatively less affected by global financial crisis because of its economy being more oriented towards internal consumption and savings rather than exports.

 

INVESTMENTS :

 

The Company's upgradation and expansion activities in all business areas slowed down in comparison to earlier

years. The total investments in fixed assets during the year were Rs. 1,164 Million compared to 1,539 Million during 2007-08.

 

PROFITABILITY :

 

Sandvik Asia continues to be a significant source of high quality products for the Sandvik Group. During the year,

the Company's net sales amounted to Rs. 12,828 Million compared to Rs. 11,192 Million in the year 2007-08. The

result before tax for the year 2008-09 was loss of Rs. 179 Million as against profit of Rs. 913 Million in the earlier year. The result before tax for the year was impacted due to lower margins, particularly in the last two quarters of

the year The company was also affected by negative currency fluctuation due to higher imports.

 

DEVELOPMENTS :

 

New Compact Hydrogen plant was installed on 7 April 2008 at the new location at Pune. The plant is equipped with latest technology for making the operation safe, automated & providing the right quality product.
