Note:

 

The Registered office of the company has been shifted from No. 43 Thonchinnakuppe  Village Kasaba Hobli, Nelamangala Taluk, Bangalore District, Bangalore-562123, Karnataka, India to present address w.e.f. 01.07.2006

 

Background

 

Hampson Precision Automotive (India) Private Limited (formerly Hampson Maini Engineering Private Limited) (‘‘the Company’’) was incorporated on 10 November 2004 as a private limited company under the Companies Act, 1956 (“the Act”). The Company changed its name from Hampson Maini Engineering Private Limited to Hampson Precision Automotive (India) Private Limited with effect from 8 June 2006. The principal activity of the Company includes manufacturing components for turbo charger applications.

 

PERFORMANCE

 

The Company achieved improved performance in 2009/10 in comparison to 2008/09. Conditions in the first half of the year remained tough as they faced the impact of the global recession. Following the exit of a number of major customers from the turbo business, the Company has successfully diversified its operations into General engineering, already winning one major customer (Stanadyne Amalgamation Private Limited), to whom the Company will supply rotary pump and fuel injection parts. They have successfully developed rotary pump fuel injection parts such as barrels, sleeves, seat springs and plungers using the in-house engineering capabilities and resources. Many other parts for use in hydraulic pumps are currently under development. The new customer development has improved the moral of the Hampson India Team and has proved their capability. A number of idle machines have been converted for use in the manufacture of general engineering components, minimising investment in new equipment.

 

Considering the present business scenario management have taken the decision to align with the core business of the Hampson Group, i.e. Aerospace. Management have also taken the decision to merge Hampson Industries India Private Limited with the Company to have one entity in India to cater aerospace, automotive and general engineering business.

 

Aggressive marketing and sales initiatives resulted in the generation of many RFQs and visits of many probable customers to the facility. Hampson India also hosted high level delegations from the automotive and aerospace industries including Sauer Danfoss, IHI, MHI, Turbo Energy Limited, Stanadyne, SKF, BAE Aerospace, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited., Goodrich, Hawker Beechcraft etc. These delegates appreciated seeing the world-class Hampson India facility in operation. Looking forward these opportunities have a very high potential to translate into real business and propel corporate business growth in India.

 

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

 

The authorised Share Capital of the Company has been increased from MINR 350 to MINR 400 during the year to facilitate the funding requirements of the Company’s expansion program.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The future plan for the growth of the Company is based on the following objectives while operating in niche markets and products:

 

·         Expansion of the product portfolio by:

o        expanding operations in the core sector of the Group, aerospace,

o        continuing to focus on the in-house developed business of fuel injection and general engineering manufacturing, and focussing on the local and Asian market

·         Add critical capabilities in engineering and manufacturing to support future growth

·         Create operational excellence to drive cost effectiveness throughout the organization

·         Implement progressive HR policies to retain talent and make the Company the best Company to work

·         Achieve compliance with all statutory corporate governance requirements.

 

As India witnesses progressive growth in aerospace, automotive and general engineering, the alignment with the Group’s core business will help the Company to take advantage of India’s growth. The existing infrastructure and capabilities will help the Indian operation cater to the Asian and global market. The change of the Indian economy and foreign direct investment policies, along with the integration of the Indian economy with South East Asian countries (ASEAN), BRIC and South Korea through Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), will be the key to massive business opportunities in the future.
