LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

BACKGROUND:

 

VAI India Private Limited was incorporated as a private limited company on 13 January 1995. VAI Automation Private Limited, a company incorporated in India under the companies act, 1956 was amalgamated with VAI India Private Limited on a going concern basis pursuant to a scheme of amalgamation approved vide order dated 24 July 2003 of the Hon’ble High Court, Kolkata.

 

Pursuant to the merger, the name of VAI India Private Limited was changed to VAI Engineering and Automation Private Limited on 2 December 2003. Further, the name of the company has been changed to Siemens VAI Metals Technologies Private Limited (‘VAI’ or ‘the Company’) with effect from 17 June 2007.

 

 

OPERATIONS FOR 2008-09 ANDOUTLOOK FOR 2009-10

 

 

Global economic situation was exceptional last year. Credit freeze of September 2008 led to a global recession, the market situation deteriorated drastically. Steel demand and prices crashed blocking further growth rate in Steel production and straining finances of most steel producers. Despite moderate economic recovery seen in Q3 and Q4 most projects in private sector were either delayed or put on hold. Public Sector like Steel Authority of India Ltd could still finalize several mega projects which were planned earlier. With the support as well as with the support from Technological Competence Centres of Siemens VAI, they could secure most of the projects which were decided and became effective last year.

 

The Company for the first time ever has achieved order intake of more than the One Billion INR. Thank You once more for the continuous support.

 

As of now, client base of the company consist mainly of Government sector. Since this sector remained unaffected by global economic turmoil, on going recession has not affected operations of the company in any negative way except for expected slight influence on growth rates this year.

 

With projected Indian Gross Domestic Production (GDP) growth exceeding 7% in 2010 and 8% in 201 1 market situation is seen stabilizing. Private sector players are slowly reviving deferred plans of investment. ESSAR and  JSW are going ahead with planned projects at Hazira and  Toranagallu. WELSPUN, and VlRAJ have started discussions on new green field projects. At the same time government of lndia is fully committed to investment plans of Steel companies under its control to provide a boost to the economy. Consequently SAlL and RlNL are expected to go ahead with announced revamps and  other expansion plans. Though full revival of investment confidence by private sector may still take some time, expansion plans of SAlL and RlNL and green field steel plant of NMDC offer immediate potential.

 

The company continued to invest in human resources and productive infrastructure during crisis period of last year and due to the continuous support, the company is now ready to make the best of available and emerging opportunities.

 

During the last year, the turnover of the company has increased to be 2.21 times over 2008, whereas the Profit before tax has become 1.46 times over same period. Since GDP Growth slowdown in lndia has been shallow and short lived, the directors are hopeful of sales and profit growth in current year also.

 

During the last year, the Company has initiated implementation of SAP system in the organization (SPIRIDON).

 

During the last year, the company along with the relevant Centres of Competences, has embarked upon a strategic SMART and M3 Market initiatives. First reportable results are expected by next year.

 

As per the company’s continuing commitment towards its service excellence, the authorities have renewed its certificate for IS0 9001: 2000 and the company is committed to continue the same in future also.

 

To improve the presence in India and also to increase the share of manufacturing for the Metals sector, the  Company has also taken initiative to acquire the shares of Morgan Construction Company in India last year. The same has been completed in the current year. With the acquisition of 100% shares of Morgan India, the  Company is planning to fully integrate the Morgan India with the  Company.
