HISTORY:

 

Promoted by Sanjiv Saraf in association with Mahalaxi Trading and Investment Company -- a non-resident corporate body -- Polyplex Corporation currently operates a polyester film plant (cap. : 6000 tpa) at Khatima, Nainital district, UP. The plant was commissioned in 1988 with a capital outlay of about Rs.400 millions. The company's product is biaxially-oriented polyester film, a thermoplastic film used in a range of products including audio, video, computer tapes, flexible packaging, metallised yarn, stamping foils, graphic arts, X-rays, electrical insulations, sun-control films, capacitors and other applications. With good prospects for the polyester film industry, the company expanded its capacity 14,830 tpa at a cost of around Rs.700 millions. The capacity expansion was funded by a private placement of shares (in Nov.'94 it made a private placement of shares at a premium of Rs.130) and internal accruals. Polyplex has imported equipment from leading international suppliers such as Lindauer Dorner, Barmag and Kampf, Germany; Nishimura, Japan; Nucleometre FAG, France; and Extrusion of Dies, US. This, coupled with the technical skills of its operating personnel and emphasis on quality control, has enabled it to produce films which enjoy a premium position not only in India but also in the international market. The company has entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with Global Solar Energy LCC for its PV Project, with the terms and Agreement of both have equal equity position of 50% each, Assets of PV division transferred to joint concern, Funds will met by partners in the sration of proposed shareholding and Global Solar Energy used as an implementing entity. Company corporate office project at an advanced stage. A forward integration programme for setting up a Metallizer is in the process at a cost of Rs.100.000 Millions.This has been financed by way of term loan to the extent of Rs.70.000 millions from IDBI and the balance through internal accruals. An expansion programme of polyester film is in a active stage. This project was earlier planned to be located in UAE but due to social uncertainty in the Middle East the company has decided to relocate the project in Thailand. The total project cost of US $ 30 million, including US $ 6 million towards working capital is proposed to be financed by way of debt to the tune of US $ 20 million and the balance by way of equity /preference shares. The Metalliser project has been delayed and has been scheduled to be in the current financial year i.e. 2002-03. Polyplex (Thailand) Public Company Limited (PTL)-a subsidiary of Subject-has made IPO of 240 million ordinary shares of Baht 1 each at an offering price of Baht 6.90 per share. The proceeds raised through IPO by the foreign subsidiary, are proposed to be utilized towards repayment of Loans to Financial Institutions. With the making of IPO, the shareholding of the company in PTL has come down to 70%.

 

Year in Retrospect

 

During the year, consolidated revenues were higher by about 9% which indicates the gradual return to normalcy from the economic crisis of the previous year.

 

While the Company was able to utilise its assets better through higher production / sales volumes, lower margins arising primarily out of uncompensated raw material increase and decline in selling prices resulted in a 11% fall in net profits (before minority interest).

 

The Company’s new Greenfield facility to manufacture BOPP film, PET Film together with Chips Plant (for captive consumption) and Metallizer at Bazpur, District Udham Singh Nagar, Uttarakhand, have commenced production in the last quarter of 2009-10.

 

Company’s subsidiary in Thailand has also commissioned a plant for manufacture of Cast Polypropylene (CPP) Film alongwith associated metallizer during the last quarter of the year. These new projects are expected to provide further impetus to growth and profitability in years to come besides enabling the Company to provide a much wider range of plastic films to its customers. The Directors confirm that the funds raised in October, 2007 by way of issue of shares on preferential basis have been utilized to part finance the aforesaid projects.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

In this document, the terms ‘Company’ and ‘Polyplex’ refer to the consolidated operations of Polyplex Corporation Limited Polyplex’s business is focused on producing high performance plastic films (plain and metallized) which are mainly used in the flexible packaging industry. Polyplex is one of the leading integrated producers of Polyester (PET) films in the world. During the year, it has commissioned a Polyester (PET) films line, a Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film line in India and a Cast Polypropylene film (CPP film) manufacturing facility in Thailand. In the recent past, the Company also has ventured into downstream businesses like Silicone

Coating and Extrusion Coating.

 

PET film is made from Polyester resin (chips), which in turn is produced from Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) and Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG). The Company produces its own resin. The Company largely produces films for application in Packaging, Electrical and other Industrial segments like hot stamping foils, thermal lamination, release films, air conditioning ducts etc. The Company produces only thin films, which account for three-quarters of the total global demand for PET Films, and does not participate in some of the other smaller segments like imaging, magnetic media and optical films.

 

Packaging being the focus business segment, the Company would now be in a position to offer other substrates used in the flexible packaging industry. BOPP and CPP films are Polypropylene (PP) based films, which are pre-dominantly used in packaging besides certain industrial applications like tapes, labels, thermal lamination and textiles. Flexible packaging companies supply their laminates to consumer product companies for packaging of a diverse range of products like food products, household goods, personal care products, etc. The downstream businesses of Silicone Coating and Extrusion Coating are niche businesses producing release films and thermal laminates respectively.

 

GLOBALOPERATIONS

 

Polyplex has attained a leadership position in the PET films business with manufacturing facilities in India, Thailand and Turkey and a distribution setup in USA. Another distribution company in China has also commenced operations towards the end of the year.

 

Polyplex Corporation Limited (PCL/ Polyplex India) has a majority ownership of 70% in Polyplex (Thailand) Plc (PTL/ Polyplex Thailand) which in turn holds 100% of Polyplex Europa Polyester Film Sanayi VeTicaretAnonim Sirketi (PE/ Polyplex Europa) and Polyplex Trading (Shenzen) Company Limited (PTSL/Polyplex China) The Company also has a 66% controlling stake in Polyplex (Americas) Inc. (PA/ PolyplexAmericas).

 

PET FILM BUSINESS

 

The growth in flexible packaging has over the years shifted the production and usage patterns of PET films. The Company’s relevant segments of Packaging, Industrial and Electrical constitute 95% of the total demand in 2009 and the traditional high-end technology segments like Imaging and Magnetic media have been reduced to only 5% due to developments in digital technology. Polyplex produces only thin films, which account for three-quarters of the total global demand for PET Films.

 

Better packaging not only improves the shelf life of the products but is also essential for improving product appeal in a highly competitive consumer goods industry. Flexible packaging reduces the cost of packaging and plays a key role in source reduction on the principle of ‘use less waste in the first place’ in comparison with conventional packaging.

 

This has resulted in shift from rigid forms of packaging to flexible packaging which has ensured higher-than-GDP rates of growth in the flexible packaging industry across the globe. PET film, being a higher-end substrate within packaging, has been among the faster growing substrates. An increase in the purchasing power in the developing countries has brought with it a large rise in the per capita consumption of packaging material. As a result, Asia (excluding Japan and Korea), is the largest market for PET films with 41% of the PET films produced being consumed in this region. However, per capita consumption of packaging material in developing countries is still very low as compared to the mature markets, which should help in sustaining the growth rates. The changing demographics of faster growing younger population and urbanisation are also contributing to the growth in developing countries. The other drivers of demand growth in these regions are the increase in the share of organized sector in consumer products and retailing, small serve packs arising out of need for inclusive and rural marketing, increasing consumerism and the resulting need for better packaging.

 

Demand for packaging is also quite resilient as it relates to consumption of food products, household goods and personal care products etc., which are to a large extent non-discretionary in nature insulating the industry from the global economic recessionary environment. While growth rates in packaging have slowed down, some of the other segments like industrial have witnessed contraction in demand in 2008/2009 as a consequence of the economic crisis in 2008. Electrical/ electronic segment of end-use has maintained its pace of growth due to the demand from flat panel display screens used in LCDs and electronic displays. Films used for solar applications like PV products have also shown buoyancy in demand in the recent past.

 

Similar to the shift in demand, on the supply-side as well, most of the new capacities are being added in low-cost developing countries, primarily in Asia. Most of this new capacity is also focused on the packaging segment, with an emphasis on high productivity and low operating costs. This has adversely impacted the traditionally large producers of PET film operating with high cost structures, who are now emphasizing emerging niche technologies in PET films like films for LCDs, solar panels and specific high-end applications within packaging. While trade defense measures like anti-dumping and countervailing duties have been in use for the last two decades, they are unable to address the inherent problems of low-productivity assets operating in the developed countries producing films for traditional applications. They understand that no new thin film line has been setup in US or EU since 2003 increasing the import intensity in these regions.

 

The financial year 2009-10 has been a year of recovery whereby volumes, especially in the packaging segment, have returned to normal levels. Demand in industrial segment continues to be mirror the global dynamics with a much slower recovery and more susceptibility to similar shocks like the recent events in the southern European region. The end of the year saw an improvement in sentiment with perceptible improvement in margins for the industry and this trend has accelerated in the first quarter of the current year heralding an improvement in industry

performance. This is a cumulative effect of the following factors:

 

a. Over the past few years (excluding 2009) while demand has continued to grow there has been inadequate matching capacity addition (excluding China).

b. Revival of demand post the economic crisis.

c. Diversion of capacity by several large producers from packaging to industrial segment by conversion of thin film lines into intermediate and thick films.

d. Closure of some old lines.

 

The global demand supply balances mask significant differences within regions, which are getting more pronounced in recent years. Out of the total new capacity added in the last 5 years, 56% has been added in China itself, which is significantly higher than the accretion in demand there. Since large exports from China are still not visible, it has resulted in below-average operating rates there. Operating rates in developed countries in the western world also tend to be lower than the average due to competitive market position. On the other hand, most of the new assets in the rest of Asia would be operating at above average operating rates.

 

They expect PET film growth rates to be higher than the global economic growth rates. Some of the capacities already added / being added across the globe during 2009-2011 had been planned assuming a continuation of the higher pre-recessionary growth rates. While, initially, it appeared that this could depress the operating rates of the PET film lines for several quarters after the commencement of these new capacities, the improvement in market sentiment and margins since the beginning of 2010 has resulted in higher operating rates. However, owing to the increasingly regional nature of the business, the demand-supply situation would vary across regions and some regions like China are expected to witness relatively lower operating rates. Companies with better quality, access to international customers and a better supply chain model stand a better chance of emerging as winners.

 

THE BOPP AND CPP BUSINESSES

 

The BOPP and CPP businesses are also witnessing similar dynamics. Growth in Asia especially China and India has been strong in the past and is expected to continue in the long-term. Bulk of the capacity is now in the developing countries. However, these businesses are more regional in nature and therefore the regional demand-supply balances are more relevant. They expect the Company to benefit from its expected low cost of production from the planned high productivity BOPP line in India and CPP line in Thailand as the long-term fundamentals of these investments continue to be good.

 

SILICONECOATINGANDEXTRUSIONCOATING BUSINESSES

 

 

The Silicone coating business produces polyester release liner, which is used for carrying adhesive labels until such adhesive labels are removed from the release liner and are applied to the final surface. Other applications of siliconised polyester release liner include release liner for adhesive tapes, cast polymer materials, electronic applications, roofing and other industrial uses. At present the Company has one coater at its plant in India and installing another one in Thailand.

 

The Extrusion coating business involves the combination of PET film with an extruded adhesive layer to produce   a thermal lamination film. Thermal lamination film is used for the application of plastic film to the surface of another item like paper in order to improve the durability and give it an aesthetic appeal. The main uses of this are in teaching aids, maps, certificates, posters, menu cards, book covers, carton board boxes and food packaging. The Company has one extrusion coater located in Thailand.

 

USA and EU are the main markets for the products from these businesses.

 

INDUSTRY IN INDIA

 

India is one of the largest and fastest growing markets in the world for flexible packaging. The drivers for growth in India are similar to those of other developing countries with additional consumption coming from the widespread usage of small-serve packs. However, since the per capita consumption of flexible packaging in India is amongst the lowest in the world, the growth in India has been higher than most other regions.

 

The thin PET film market in India is estimated about 228,000 tons for the year. Notwithstanding the somewhat flat growth during 2009, considering the large market base and the expected annual growth rate of about 15%, they estimate that 25-30% of the additional global demand shall originate in India making it an attractive market.The total capacity in India is about 360,000 tons, with the surplus production generally being exported to other regions.

 

The BOPP market in India is estimated at about 162,000 tons for the year against a capacity base of 350,000 tons. Demand is expected to grow at more than 15% from now on after a year of tepid growth in 2009. Tape and textile are important segments of the market which have grown at a faster pace due to conversion from other substrates. Traditionally in India the penetration of BOPP in packaging was low which has improved over a period of time resulting in higher growth in BOPP.

 

Due to the high attractiveness of the domestic market and the general export competitiveness of the local industry for both PET and BOPP films, a significant capacity addition has taken place towards the second half of 2009-10. While this was expected to impact margins for some time, a sharp improvement in market sentiment, both globally and in India, has resulted in minimal impact. Infact, some more lines have been announced by several players leading to another bunching up of capacity addition in 2011. This could result in a contraction of the margins in domestic market in the short to medium term. Exports of converted product have gained traction in recent times and could further pull volumes of base film consumption in India as this trend acquires momentum.

 

STRATEGY

 

Polyplex seeks to maximize long-term returns to the shareholders by following a differentiated approach and proactively responding to anticipated changes in the business and environment. The key elements of this strategy have been:

 

• Manufacturing or distribution presence in the key regional markets for an efficient delivery model.

• Integrated manufacturing facilities with high productivity assets to ensure cost competitiveness.

• Increasing the proportion of speciality product revenues.

• Accelerate investment in niche downstream products and related films to exploit synergies in operations, broad base product portfolio and provide a platform for further growth. Setting up of the extrusion coating project, the CPP line and Silicone Coating line in Thailand and the BOPP line in India are initiatives in this direction.

• Strong global delivery capabilities with near-shoring and efficient onward distribution network. Acquisition of the distribution company in the USA in early 2006 has been a strategic move of the Company in this direction.

• Setting up of the Trading Company in China is another strategic decision to establish the Company’s presence in one of the largest and fastest growing markets for its products.

• Increased emphasis on upgrading technical service and R and D capabilities.

• Consolidate market position in key geographic locations before the next phase of growth.

• Continuous improvements in all aspects of the operations.

 

SALES and OPERATIONS

 

The Company has a large international presence with active sales in 87 countries across the world. The Company

has a large base of about 1,350 end customers and low customer concentration. Its top 10 customers contributed

29% of total revenues in 2009-10. 87% of the Company’s revenues were from PET films in 2009-10. Of the total

sales, 60% are sold directly to the end-users.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK and PLANNED INVESTMENTS

 

The recovery in the global economy is reflected in the improved sentiments in the PET film industry since early 2010. Given the additional demand, supplies are expected to be tight during the current year. Besides recovery in overall demand, closure of some older capacities in EU/USAas also shift of focus of some of larger producers to newer and higher priced optical and solar applications, has resulted in the current market dynamics. The Company is also facing an upsurge of orders and with increasing downstream demand from metallized / coated films, it has decided to invest in a third base film line in Turkey and also seriously evaluate additional capacity enhancement in PET films in Thailand.

 

The Company remains confident that with its strengths and superior performance it should be able to grow profitably and withstand variability in industry environment. The Company is well poised to capture growth opportunities in all its business segments within the confines of business prudence.

History  
                                  

Polyplex was incorporated in 1984 and commenced commercial operations with its first Film line of 4000 TPA (Ton Per Annum) in May 1988, which was subsequently increased to 6000 TPA. With its operations stabilizing, by the mid 90’s, Polyplex was able to emerge as one of the most profitable producers of Polyester Film in India.


Polyplex undertook an expansion in film capacity by adding another film line of 9000 TPA in March 1996, which was subsequently increased to 14000 TPA. It also integrated backward into the manufacture of Polyester Chips meant for captive consumption, and commenced production in March 1997.


While mirroring industry trends, the Company’s financial performance has been among the best in the industry resulting from the Company’s focus on Polyester Films, its strategic understanding of the PET Film market and operational efficiencies. Initiatives such as TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), BPR (Business Process Reengineering) and implementation of ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) have lead to sustained improvements in productivity. A turnaround in market conditions since mid-2000 has seen a significant improvement in the profitability of their operations, thus creating conditions for further growth.


The Company also commissioned a Metalliser in India in December 2002. This has enabled the Company to broaden its product portfolio and improve value additions.


Following from the Company’s strategic objective of being a PET Film manufacturer of Global significance and “Near shoring” to main markets/customers, Polyplex expanded its film capacity further by investing in a new film line of 15000 MT (Metric Ton) in Thailand through its subsidiary Polyplex (Thailand) Public Company Limited (PTL/ Polyplex Thailand) to cater to the high growth markets of SEA. The new line was commissioned in April 2003 within the budgeted costs and ahead of time. Following this, Polyplex Thailand has set up its next PET film line with a capacity of 15000 MT in a record time of nine months. The line commenced commercial production in November 2003.


Production in both the India and Thailand units has been more than rated capacity. Consequently in 2003-04 capacities were restated at 20000 MT for India and 39000 MT for Thailand, which has been further restated at 42000 MT in 2007-08.


During 2004-05 PTL successfully commissioned two chips plants - a batch process plant with a capacity of 7000 TPA in September 2004 and a continuous process plant with a capacity of 45500 TPA in February 2005. With this, Polyplex Thailand is now self sufficient for PET chips for captive consumption. In August 2005 Polyplex Thailand successfully commissioned a Metalliser with a capacity of 5000 TPA. In May 2008 PTL successfully commissioned second Metalliser with a capacity of 6000 TPA.


To further the twin strategic objective of “Global Player” and “Near shoring” in European and Mediterranean markets the Company took steps to implement a Polyester film plant in Turkey and in September 2004 formed a Company in Turkey, Polyplex Europa Polyester Film San. Ve Tic. A.S (PE). In December 2005 Polyplex Europa (PE), commissioned a new PET Film line with an annual capacity of 24000 TPA along with a 4 MW (Mega Watt) captive co-generation power plant. It also installed a metalliser with a capacity of 5000 TPA which commenced commercial production in March 2006. In December 2006, a continuous process chips plant of the capacity 45500 TPA started commercial production in Turkey. With the startup of this plant, PE is now self sufficient for its captive chips requirement. 


Production in Polyplex Europa (PE) has been more than rated capacity. Consequently, capacity of previous PET Film line has been restated at 29000 MT. Further, a new Pet Film line has been commissioned in May 2008, having production capacity of 29,000 TPA. This line is state of the art line and is capable of producing various speciality products. Now, the total production capacity at Turkey for PET Film is 58,000 TPA. The second metalliser has also been commissioned at Turkey in May 2008, having production capacity of 6,000 TPA. 2 Co-gen sets of 4 MW each have also been added to provide greater power security for the plants.


The capacity of Chips plant has also been increased by de-bottlenecking to 57,600 TPA to match the film capacity. However, only Bright chips are made at Turkey and Silica chips are sourced from PTL.
Demand of PET film in Americas is more than 20% of the world consumption in 2007. For Polyplex Group US has been an important market since early 90’s. To broaden its customer base in US the company had decided to set up a distribution chain in US. Focusing on this objective Company had set up a joint venture by the name of Spectrum Marketing Inc (Spectrum), which started its operations in early 1996. The Company later decided to restructure the ownership of Spectrum. Taking further steps in this direction additional equity capital  was inducted by Polyplex Thailand in December 2005 and Spectrum Marketing Inc. has become a Group subsidiary with effect from January 1, 2006 and has been renamed as Polyplex (Americas) Inc. (Polyplex America).


To broaden its product portfolio and capture larger part of the value chain, in March 2007, Company set up an offline Silicone Coater Plant (160 Mn sqm) for siliconising PET films in India. They have established their presence in the Shingles market in USA and are trying to establish in the filmic Liner market also. The Company wants to increase its coating capacity to cater to the European and Asian markets also. The Company is also working towards developing in-line silicone coated products.


To impart greater focus on value added products, the company’s subsidiary in Thialand, PTL, has installed an Extrusion coating line with an annual capacity of 7800 TPA (150 Mn sqm) at an investment of USD 8 Million and the project has started commercial production from April, 2008.

 

These investments have strengthened the Company’s competitive position in the PET Film business ensuring continued cost leadership. This together with the current demand-supply situation would enable Polyplex to provide an attractive value proposition to its customers and investors.


The Company is going ahead with its plans of expansion and setting up a new state of the art 8.70 meter wide PET Film line (31,000 TPA) using direct melt together with a continuous process chips plant (57,600 TPA) and a Metallizer (7,000 TPA) at Bajpur, near its existing facilities, in Uttarakhand in India. The project has been enlarged to include a 8.7 meter wide BOPP line along with a 2.85 meter wide Metallizer. The project is expected to start commercial production by mid 2009 with an investment of around USD 112 million. The project would enjoy excise and income tax benefits for a period of 10 years. These plants would cater to the converters/customers in Uttarakhand.

Further, as a measure of improving its product offering to its customers, the Company’s subsidiary in Thailand, PTL is setting up a Cast Polypropylene (CPP) line with capacity of 10,000 TPA and an associated Metallizer having capacity of 4200 TPA. The project is being set up at an estimated capital cost of USD 12 million and is likely to commence commercial production by mid 2009.
