Reckitt has built its strong brand equity over a peroid of time by technological innovations, consistent high quality, aggressive advertisement and marketing etc. Availability near the consumer through a wide distribution network is its another crucial success factor as products are of small value, frequently purchased and daily use items. The Company announced a VRS in July 2000, for the employees located in specific units, in response to which, 320 employees opted for VRS at the end of the scheme. The total liabilty aggregating to Rs.117.500 millions in respect of the same will be charged in the accounts over three years.

In order to drive convenience in the shoecare category, the company also re-launched its Cherry Blossom polish in a handy, compact case. It is appropriately called Cherry Handy Shine. The company is also planning to launch a couple of new products in the shoecare category. Having achieved considerable success in the fabric-care segment with its product called Cuff-n-Collars, RBL added one more product -- Vanish --to this nascent category recently. RBL is also in the process of completing the national roll out of its Haze `agarbatti' brand. The brand, which was introduced late last year in the markets of Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, followed by Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, is expected to be rolled out nationally in the current calendar year. Haze is currently available in four variants -- sandalwood, jasmine, bouquet and fresh wave --- apart from a 4-in-1 pack. The brand is also available in aerosol spray and fragrance block formats. The products of the company which were in the portfolio of the Joint Venture company i.e., Reckitt Piramal Private Limited, are being directly sold to the distributors with the disengagement from joint venture effective 04.07.2001. The company has expanded the installed capacity of Bulk Drugs from 336 MT to 386 MT during the year 2001-02.
