LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

HISTORY:

 

Subject is a player in the Indian Bearing industry. The company manufactures a very wide range of bearings conforming to the stringent international quality standards. They are the leading OEM supplier to the automotive industry, mechanical and electrical engineering industry, besides the Railways. Their manufacturing plants are located at Vadodara in Gujarat


Subject was incorporated as Precision Bearings India Limited in the year 1962. In the year 1986, the company changed their name to FAG Precision Bearings Limited and in the year 1999, they got their present name FAG Bearings India Limited In the year 1993 and 1998, they became the first Indian Bearing company to achieve ISO 9001 and QS 9000 certification respectively and in the year 1999, they received ISO 14001 certification. 


In the year 2000, the company set up India's first production facilities to produce hub bearings. In the year 2001, the company entered a joint venture agreement with FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schaefer AG of Germany and formed FAG Roller Bearings Private Limited for manufacture of taper roller bearings at Pune in Maharashtra. The Pune plant has the production capacity of 2 million tapered tapered roller bearings of world class quality for automotive and industrial applications and in April 2002, they launched their product in the Indian Market. 


The company increased their production capacity of Ball and Roller Bearings by 50000 Nos in the year 2002, 3178000 Nos in 2003, 1153000 Nos in 2004, 3793000 Nos in 2005, 13164000 Nos in 2006 and 3765000 in 2007. Thus the total production capacity increased to 47103000 Nos at the end of the financial year December 2007.

 

FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:

 

The year 2009 started against the backdrop of a major economic recession that hit the world during the second half of 2008. Though the Indian economy, driven by domestic consumption and well supported by stimulus measures of Government, gradually came out of this global turmoil, the overall business situation remained very challenging during the year 2009. The Company’s total net sales grew by a moderate 7% during the year. Their exports sales declined by 51%, as the markets in Europe and US slumped under recessionary pressure. At the same time their intensified focus on Indian customers led to a smart increase of 17% in domestic sales (over 2008).

 

The general business scenario in 2009 was also characterized by severe liquidity crisis - triggered by global financial crisis. The Company successfully implemented a number of measures to improve working capital management. As at the year ending December 31, 2009, their inventories reduced by 37% and sundry debtors witnessed a decrease of 5% compared to the previous year.

 

At FAG India, They  also undertook a number of projects to improve productivity, quality and customer responsiveness. Under active guidance and support from Schaeffler Group, They  successfully launched 'MOVE' project at the Vadodara factory. MOVE provides a platform to empowered employees to come together and avoid waste through error-free processes while working in synchronization with their customers.

 

During the year, profitability of the Company remained under pressure due to a sharp decline in the exports business, substantial impact of steel price increase and an adverse product mix resulting from market conditions. Due to the above reasons, operating profit of The Company (Profit before tax) during the year 2009 reduced to 13%, compared to 19% in 2008.

 

 

 

DIRECTORS:

Management Discussion and Analysis:

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS:

 

Indian Bearing market size is estimated at Rs. 60 billion. Imports (inclusive of duties) account over 45% of this demand. Production of the organized bearing industry as represented under BRBMA (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturers' Association) was placed at Rs. 26 billion. Indigenous bearing manufacturers presently focus on small and medium diameter range bearings consumed by large volume industries like Automotive, Electrical Engineering and Rail. Large size bearings are normally imported - though the indigenous bearing industry is gradually extending its footprint in this area too. It is difficult to arrive at an accurate estimation of production of unorganized sectors as there are number of players who mainly cater to requirements in replacement sector besides supplying to certain niche demands. At the same time, small scale companies are often the origin for spurious (counterfeit) products and thus pose a severe threat-both to bearing companies and to consuming industries. The automotive industry is the largest consumer of bearing products. Even as global auto majors went in to reverse gear in 2009, Indian passenger car sector and the two wheeler sector largely bucked the trend launching a number of new models and registering significant growth in exports.

 

The growth trends in commercial vehicles have distinctly varied as light commercial vehicle segment maintained its ground, while the medium and heavy commercial vehicle sector felt the heat due to decline in industrial output. The segment, however, is now stabilizing with industrial production improving. In the industrial sector, the Indian Railways, well supported by government's drive towards expansion and modernization, showed favourable increase in the bearing demand. At the same time demand from other industry sectors like machine tools, textile machines, wind and MRO customers remained sluggish through most partof2009.

 

OPPORTUNITIES:

 

Towards the end of 2009, the industrial growth recovered smartly to 7.9% during the quarter -July to September 2009. Industrial production grew by 11.7% in November 2009 - thus raising hope that the worst is over and They  can look forward to 2010 with cautious optimism. Growing educated young population in India, expansion of middle class and trickle down effects of overall prosperity in rural areas, augurs well for economic development of India. The need for effective and efficient transportation both personal and public will rise more rapidly than before. At the same time, the 'value consciousness' of Indian middle class will mean that market growth will be mainly focused in areas of motorcycles and small cars at least during the medium term. Improvement in infrastructure - especially the road infrastructure has not quite lived up to the promise shown in eleventh five year plan. The Union Minister, Mr. Kamal Nath recently reaffirmed the government's commitment to lay 20 km of new road everyday -and They  hope that this is actually realized as fast as possible.

 

A large number of public and private investment programs in power sector manifest Indian government's priority to this sector. Renewable energy too shows a lot of potential in the medium and long-term. Overall prospects for industrial development thus remain very positive in India and They  expect strong demand of bearing products to continue in the coming future.

 

OUTLOOK:

 

Recent data suggests that Indian economy is fast getting back to growth trajectory. Private and public investments in new projects will certainly increase as the business confidence improves. Demand of The Company’s products in domestic market will thus grow in the coming years. At the same time there are concerns that rising fiscal deficit, increasing inflation and rain dependant agriculture may slow down the growth prospects. In the export markets, a significant improvement is not foreseen. Notwithstanding the above The Company will continue to pursue its growth process through continued business development, R and D, productivity and technology innovation measures.

 

FINANCE:

 

The Company has recorded a sales growth of 7% (2008:16%) even under the adverse conditions and reached the turnover of Rs. 8000.000 Millions, but the profit before tax has declined by 32%. The Company responded to the challenges of 2009, by following a very structured financial policy with strong emphasis on cash and liquidity. Through focus on control overworking capital and prudent approach on investment, the Company has been able to further improve its liquidity. This has resulted in the improvement of interest income by over32%. Although the rupee weakened significantly as against US dollar in 2009, Their proactive measures for hedging the Forex helped us in containing the Forex losses.

AS PER WEBSITE

 

Overview:

 

FAG Kugelfischer George Schaefer AG, is the oldest bearing company in the world. Its founder, Freidrich Fischer, is credited with the invention of Ball Making Machine in 1883.This invention set the foundation of modern bearing industry. With headquarters in Germany, FAG's multinational operations include 75 companies in four continents.

 

In its operations over the past 120 years, FAG has established itself as a world leader in bearing technologies, by designing and implementing highly advanced bearing systems for diverse and critical applications. For example, FAG bearings are successfully used in NASA space shuttles, in tunneling machines which cut the 50 km Euro Tunnel, in high-speed trains like ICE, which run at speeds of 280 Km per hour and more. FAG is also a preferred supplier of bearing systems to the world's leading manufacturers of cars and trucks like GM, Ford, Volkswagen, Volvo, Daimler Chrysler to name a few.

 

FAG's strategy of focusing on innovative products and processes has proved to be a clear winner in the highly competitive bearing market, as evident by the group's successful performance in recent years. Today, FAG is a Euro 2.22 Billion (2001) group worldwide, with net income of 57 Billion Euro.

 

Moreover, FAG's recent development of "X" life bearing, which increases service life by 5 to 10 fold while at the same time reducing weight by 60%, is considered a trendsetter in the premium industrial bearing market.

1883 - Fischer starts manufacturing steel balls

Friedrich Fischer, the "Kugelfischer" (Ball Fischer), as he was referred to, laid the most historical milestone in 1883 when he succeeded for the first time in producing - under factory-like conditions - steel balls in large quantities which were very precise and uniform in size. This marked the beginning of the rolling bearing industry. For us, our history as an industrial company actually finds its point of origin here.

1993 - Focusing on core competence and customer orientation

 

In the year 1983, under the slogan "focusing on the core business", a comprehensive restructuring program was initiated, concentrating on the core businesses of rolling bearings, sewing technology and material handling systems.

 

1996 - International activities

 

In 1996, the FAG Group acquired companies, expanding its business in international markets.

 

1998 - The FAG Sales Europe is founded
