HISTORY:

 

Incorporated as a private limited company in Nov.'90, Subject was converted into a public limited company on 24 Oct.'91. It was promoted by G Sudhakar, G P N Gupta, G V Chalapathi, G Muralidhar and G Radhakrishna. 

 
Company entered into a technical collaboration with Structure Flex (SFL), UK, to supply know-how and technical information and assistance for mass production of jumbo bags. 

 
The company came out with a public issue in Jun.'94 to finance the manufacture of flexible intermediate bulk containers. JBL set up a 100% EOU to manufacture flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC) (inst. cap.: 7 lac bags pa). Production, expected to commence in Oct.'94, began only in Feb.'95. 

 
During 1999-2000, the company has signed a long term agreement with a Japanese company for supply of hygiene bags which will help the company to establish its credentials for further export.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

World Economy:

 

The economic crisis that they all anticipated would come to an end in the year 2009-10, seems to be imaginary as it has still significantly impacted global economic growth. According to World Economic Outlook update published by the International Monetary Fund the advanced economies were projected to record a 2 percent decline in output in 2009, while India’s growth projections has been lowered from 6.3 to 5.1 percent and that of China from 8.5 to 6.75 percent.

 

IMF had projected that trade volume would reduced by 11.9% in the year 2009. It has also projected that imports into advanced countries would fall by 13.7% and exports from emerging economies would decline by 7.2% in the year 2009. WTO had projected that the global trade would fall 10% in the year 2009.

 

In the year 2010, world output is expected to rise by 4 percent. Growth in emerging and developing economies is expected to rise to about 6 percent in 2010, following a modest 2 percent in 2009. IMF informed in its world economic outlook that Indian economy is likely to register a growth of 6.5 percent in the year 2010 while China’s growth rate will be around 8 percent.

 

In most of the advanced economies, the recovery is expected to remain sluggish by the past standards, whereas in many emerging and developing economies, activity is expected to be relatively vigorous, largely driven by buoyant internal demand.

 

According to the International Monetary Fund, the global growth is projected at an impressive by 4 percent in the year 2010. Meanwhile, United States is likely to bounce back to grow by around 1.6 percent, the Euro and the UK projections for growth stood at a minuscule 0.2% and that of Japan by a somewhat better 0.6%.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY:

 

The impact of the global economic and financial crisis on India in the year 2009-10 operated through three channels:

 

The financial channel which diminished the ability of Indian Companies to mobilize equity and debt in foreign and domestic market;

 

The trade channel which operated by eroding the import demand in developed economies and

 

The collapse of business and consumer confidence in the developed economies, which depressed sentiments worldwide, unfortunately including India.

 

Indian economy is impacted by the slow recovery of export demand from the developed economies. The principal risk that emanates from global economy for India is inflation contagion, with crude oil prices once again in the lead. The other risk is the possibility of another setback to the world of finance, where even a small failure amplifies capacity for destabilization.

 

Today the Indian economy is also primarily constrained by a shortage of physical infrastructure, of which the single most important item is electricity. Shortage of electric power not only leads to direct loss of production, but also results in inefficiencies in a broad range of areas impacting profitability and competitiveness. Government being the largest and the most important player in production, transmission and distribution of power needs to take immediate corrective action to set it in the right path.

 

Industry Outlook:

 

With the world and the Indian economy taking a hit, packaging industry is no exception to it. The major consumption centers are Europe and America and they have taken a hit in the recessionary year.

 

The Indian industry which depends highly on exports to USA and Europe has taken a big hit due to the recession.

 

As for exports, with gradual rejuvenation of global economy, the export is expected to show a remarkable growth in the first half year of 2010. However, with the uncertainty of global economy’s recovery gone, consumption behavior and demand is expected to undergo a sea change in the next few years.

 

FIBC Market

 

Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) are widely used in the package of products such as powder. Granule and block for transportation, cement, chemicals, mineral products etc.

 

Indian FIBC Industry is the third largest producer in the world. Indian producers are supplying to virtually every country across the globe. While the primary mode of selling overseas is through resellers, direct supply to end users is increasing. Indian companies are now participating in worldwide bids for supply across continents.

 

There are clear trends emerging towards migration of FIBC production to India and China, primarily on three counts:

 

Both of them have been able to produce bags of quality, matching the stringent requirement of the west.

 

The significant cost advantages compared to manufacturing in developed countries.

 

Turkey, a major producer of FIBC, due to its increasing cost of manufacturing, is also losing its market share; some of them are outsourcing and/or have started operations in low cost countries.

 

Since India is a growing economy there is an increased requirement of Industrial packaging. Because of the increase in modernization of plants, large industries are moving from trading in 25-50 Kg bags to 1-2 Metric Tonnes Jumbo Bags.

 

SYNOPSIS OF JUMBO BAG LIMITED

 

Synopsis on growth of JBL:

 

Jumbo Bag Limited (JBL), a unit of BLISS Group of companies, was incorporated in the year 1991-92 and came into operations in the year 1994-95. JBL was established primarily for manufacture of Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers called Jumbo Bags. JBL produces variety of bags to cater to the bulk industrial packaging requirement. These products are custom-made to meet customer’s specific requirements. The bags are flexible as they are made out of Polypropylene and weighs between 1-5 kgs and can handle weights ranging from 500 kgs to 2,000 kgs . The bags are used in various industries and come with various options based on usage and material handled.

 

Over the years JBL has made significant strides in product development and currently produces several varieties of Jumbo Bags in various section namely; Regular, Value Added and Specialty. Besides, JBL also produces Container liners which are used for bulk transportation.

 

JBL has been making rapid strides in the recent years and has been growing steadily since its inception. The introduction of several value added and specialty products in the recent past has enabled JBL to make inroads into several new markets besides placing JBL in a strategic position to achieve substantial growth.

 

Among various Jumbo Bags, the company has developed ground able bag with in-house technology successfully tested in European laboratories.

 

The company has also installed equipments to match European design. Apart from this the company has also developed dissipative products in association with a European company for the U.S dissipative market.

 

As Jumbo bags gains prominence in the existing markets in India, there is a lot of effort already being made to penetrate new markets which have huge potential in the future.

 

Tapping High Potential Markets

 

Cement: Infrastructure is growing at a phenomenal rate in India and Cement being the basic raw material offers a huge potential. More and more manufacturers are starting to adopt bulk transportation that will facilitate cost savings.

 

Food: Several food and related products are being packed and transported in Jumbo Bags. These include Organic and Regular Rice exported in Jumbo Bags. Other significant developments are Sugar, Cashew, Coffee, Gelatin, which are also exported in Jumbo Bags, and has the potential to reach huge volumes.

 

Alumina: The Country is today producing surplus alumina, which is being exported. This trend is likely to continue with the establishment of green field export oriented alumina refineries.

 

Diverse Markets:

 

JBL’s market is diversified in terms of Geography, Product Categories and Usage Industries. JBL has already supplied many products for usage in several industries to more than 30 countries in 5 continents of the world. JBL has a very good mix of these three constituents to provide diversity in the market such that the downturn in any particular geography will limit the impact on its operations.

 

Review of Operations:

 

The company’s performance has suffered a decline in the year due to recession. Both the export sector as well as the domestic market suffered a hit as their domestic sector market is also export dependent. While the order position improved from the 3rd quarter onwards, the company was constrained to utilize the capacity due to continued power problems and shortage of labor.

 

The West Bengal State Electricity Transmission Committee (WBSETC) wanted to acquire a major portion of the land purchased by the company. After protracted persuasion and discussion that WBSETC has agreed to release all but 1.4 Acres of the land.

 

Despite submission of their application for conversion of land along with the release letter and the final drawing, they are yet to receive the Conversion Certificate from the district Magistrate, Midnapore District.

 

In view of the same the company’s expansion project at Kharagpur has been deferred.

 

However, things have turned positive with good order flow, improvement in orders for value added bags.

 

The company is focused therefore on extending its export reach into newer markets as broad based market would make the company less vulnerable to market forces.

 

DCA Cum CS For Indian Oil Corporation Limited

 

The company is pleased to inform you that it has been appointed by IOCL as one of its Del – Credere Associate cum Consignment Stockist for Tamil Nadu, Pondicherry and kerala. Petrochemical is a vast field and India is still in the nascent stage of growth. The world’s annual consumption of plastic materials has increased from around 5 million tones in the 1950s to nearly 100 million tones today. The per-capita consumption of plastics in India is 5 Kgs as against 18 Kgs in China. The potential for growth is therefore very large and would be a good business segment for the company to be in. The current Indian suppliers for polymers are Reliance Industries Limited; Haldia petrochemicals Ltd and Gas Authority of India Limited. IOCL is entering into this space with a capacity of 1.25 million tones per annum of PP and PE put together and would prove to be a catalyst to growth in the polymer processing sector with sufficient supply of raw material.

 

Discussion on Financial Performance

 

The Profit before tax of the Company for the year 2009-10 has reduced to Rs. 5.919 millions. The Broad reasons for reduced financial performance are:

 

Lower sales due to recession in the Global Market.

 

High incidence of Fuel cost to a large extent due to power shortage in the state.

 

Lower utilization in the second half of the year due to lack of power supply and shortage of skilled labours.

Hawkhurst votes not to turn down grit next time


Kent & Sussex Courier (UK): 14 January 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

 

HAWKHURST residents have lost out on receiving gritting salt amid fears over its distribution and storage.

 

Kent Highways Services offered a large bag of salt to each parish council. However, Hawkhurst Parish Council declined the offer.

 

Councilors at their December meeting heard that the offer of a jumbo bag of salt had been declined due to fears over distribution and storage.

 

Councilor Barbara Weeden, who was chairing the meeting, asked who would use it and distribute it, to which John Hunt said: "Volunteers. They cleared the High Street when it snowed and I think this would have been nice to have to help. If we were to put it in the space by the library (in Rye Road), then it would be readily available.

 

"Could we not accept this offer next time? Hawkhurst was the only parish that didn't."

 

Clerk Andrew McTrusty said: "I don't agree that was the case.

 

Left out "And if it is left out, then members of the public will take it."

 

Councilor Keith Brown said: "This is salt paid for by ratepayers. If they want to take some to use, then it is all well and good."

 

It was agreed to accept the offer if it was made again.
