LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION
Performance Review
After the tumultuous
year of 2008-09 which was affected by the global meltdown and utter confusion
in the financial market, some stability was seen in the year 2009- 10. Their
Company achieved turnover of Rs.900.000 Millions in the year under review
against Rs.770.000 Millions achieved in previous year. We achieved a Profit
after tax of Rs.53.500 Millions as compared to the loss of Rs.79.500 Millions
in Previous Year.
The turnaround was
achieved due to multipronged action and measures taken by the company. A
stringent control was established on the inventory and receivables. Efforts
were made successfully to develop alternate source of supply of Raw Materials.
All this efforts resulted in pruning the working capital requirement which
helped the company to reduce the financial costs.
The turnaround was
quite robust with more than 50% growth in terms of quantity though in terms of
value it seems only 15%, this is due to drastic reduction in the prices of
commodities. Their company’s performance is commendable in comparison to previous
year considering that the global economy is not fully recovered with hiccups
coming in from various countries.
Business Outlook
For the next
financial year i.e. 2010-11 MONARCH is targeting to improve the top line by
about 35% which would improve the bottom line. Since the market is still not
out of the woods and orders are not quite easy it's a challenge to maintain the
growth rate of 35-40%. But to achieve this task the company is continuing its
very aggressive strategy adopted since last year.

PROFILE:
Subject is an
established manufacturer of Nickel Catalyst for oils and oleo chemicals in
In the area of catalysts, as a step towards the growth, Subject has taken over the “Kallin Intermediate Private Limited” (KIPL) on April 1, 2002. KIPL was established in 1978 by Dr. Kalyanpur and Mr. A.R. Mallapur to manufacture Activated Alloy Catalyst (AAC) and supported noble metal catalyst (NMC). Various grades of supports, viz. carbon, alumina, calcium carbonate etc are used for effective dispersion of noble metals on them and achieve better performance in catalytic reactions.
To accept greater challenges, subject created a separate plant (facility) in 1984 for the recovery of metal from all types of spent catalysts (used/deactivated catalysts). After several years of process optimization, subject has achieved a higher yield (more than 90%) of base metals from different types of used catalysts. Recovery of metal from spent catalyst not only solves the pollution problem but also helps our clients to better dispose (realizing a value) of waste generated in their plant. Constant innovations are incorporated in the recovery process, which give benefits in operating the plant cost effectively. Also, the recovery of metal from waste enables subject to pass on certain cost benefits to its clients.
At Subject, the quality control system operates with strict adherence to the specifications for raw materials, intermediates and final products. State of the art analytical instruments are provided to measure surface area, pore size/pore volume, metal dispersion and metal crystallite size, temperature programmed reduction, fatty acid composition, cis-trans fatty acids in edible fat and purity of organic fine chemicals. Also, dedicated high pressure autoclaves are used routinely for catalyst performance tests (hydrogenation of oils/fatty acids, drug intermediates and fine chemicals).
At subject , the technical team endeavours constantly towards adopting new technologies in the area of manufacturing/developing new brands and quality control procedures. Process conditions are revised regularly to enhance quality and improve product consistency. The focus area at subject is to support its customers in attending to their technical issues as well as associate with them to help their waste management initiatives.
Now, subject is one of the few major players in the field of catalysts technology and is among the top three global players in the field of oils and fats nickel catalyst. The higher demand from the export market allowed subject to expand its manufacturing facility/capacity of nickel catalysts, AAC and NMC. The consequent synergy in the operations of the base metal and noble metal catalysts with cumulative experience of more than 200 years in the catalyst industry has enriched the new entity and enhanced subject capability.
