in
The Company is
also looking at shifting its existing Ahmedabad manufacturing unit to a larger

INDUSTRY TRENDS
2010-11 was a year
of contrast in the Agri business sector with delayed and excessive rains not
only in the Kharif (summer) season but also in the Rabi (winter) season with
added effect of floods or deficient rains in certain pockets. The seasons were
extremely erratic with delayed starts and they extended way beyond normal
periods. This caused pressure on inventories. The political instability in
The highly
uncertain rainfall patterns, if continues, will alter the quarterly revenue
trends to some extent depending on the onset of the monsoons.
However, the Company
has been working steadily in reducing its rainfall dependence inorder to
mitigate the environmental risks. Despite the uncertainty in environmental
factors, the Company achieved revenue growth of 13% over the previous financial
year.
The sales revenue
grew in all states with the exception of Uttarpradesh and
FARMER FUNDING:
The extreme
circumstances prevailing across the country due to large increase in interest
rates, the collapse of the micro finance industry, the prevailing inflationary
pressures, the rising costs of practically all agricultural inputs, etc, has
resulted in severely constricting the cash flows of Indian farmers. The
management is in discussion with a few banks to extend loans / lines of credit
to the Company’s farmer customers, which inturn will enable such customers to
increase their purchase of the Company’s products, such as micro fertilizers,
insecticides, sprayers, etc. The Company will manage the sanction,
disbursements and recovery of such loans given by the Banks to such farmer
customers. This will result in not only increasing the sales volumes of the
Company but also will ensure better recovery of sales receivables. In addition
the Company will receive management fees from the bankers which, in itself, has
a potential to grow into an independent revenue stream.
GROWTH DRIVERS
The Company’s
future growth shall be driven by international sales, institutional business in
COST MANAGEMENT
The rising costs
of raw materials, processing costs, fuel and interest rates are a major source
of concern. All these have impacted the Company during the entire financial
year. Inflationary pressures on all counts have compelled the Company to raise
quarterly prices for its entire range of products and they have already
increased prices significantly over the previous year. Though a portion of the
cost increase has been passed on to the market, the Company is still absorbing
some of the cost escalations in the interest of sustaining demand for some key
brands. It is expected that raw materials, fuel prices and interest costs will
continue to rise during the entire year 2011-12.
To offset part of
the cost escalations which is unmet with the price increase, the Company is
resorting to stringent monitoring of all\ costs across all areas of production
and administration at all cost centers.
MAN POWER
The Company’s
expansion into new markets has necessitated the increase in manpower from 612
to 645 persons during the year. They believe an additional number of 125
persons will be added to the Company’s work force during 2011-12. Majority of
this increase will come in the areas of brand promotions and extension\
services as well as at the overseas manufacturing centers.
GLOBAL
DISTRIBUTION:
The company has
commenced international sales in 3 countries with supplies from Indian and UAE
factories. Distributors have been appointed for these overseas markets. They
believe, 2011-12 will witness a marked increase in their export and global
sales which will rapidly grow to form 33% of the total group revenue of the Company
by Financial Year 2012.
OUTLOOK:
The 2011 monsoons
commenced about a week early, however, there was a significant break and a dry
spell during almost all of June 2011. This has once again delayed the Kharif season.
However, July rains have been on track and all major markets have received
rainfall. Should the trend continue, prospects for the Kharif season and
consequent harvest looks positive.
The Company will
be adding additional 10 products during the year 2011-12 including 1 Soil
Conditioner, 4 Specialty Plant Nutrients, 2 Plant Protection Chemicals, 1 Plant
Hormone and 2 products specifically for Apple and Stone Fruits. This will add
to the revenue growth potential. In addition, the sales and extension activities
will be scaled up significantly with specific targets assigned to all group
leaders with regard to farmers meetings, demonstrations, field trials, dealers’
training, staff training and other related demand creation activities.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE:
The Company’s
Turnover for the financial year ended March 31, 2011 increased to Rs.1582.575
millions from Rs.1397.461 millions in the previous year, registering a growth
of 13.25%.
Total expenses for
the year were Rs.1520.834 millions as against Rs.1232.983 millions in the
previous year.
Profit Before Tax
increased to Rs.223.583 millions during the year as against Rs.189.412 millions
in the previous year. The increase in Profit Before Tax translates to 18 %.

the year was Rs.76.403 millions as against Rs.63.808 millions in the previous
year which translates to 4.82 % on FY 10-11 Sales.

previous year which is 9.30 % of FY 10-11 Sales.

HISTORY
Way back in 1969, a couple of very dynamic and ambitious people,
Dr. T. B. Mirchandani and Mrs. Bala Mirchandani, decided to prove to oneself
and the world that what they could achieve as employees of large multinational
companies is much less than what they could do for themselves. Dr. TBM was
handling the Animal Health division of Boots Pharmaceuticals Limited, while
Mrs. BM was handling the marketing department of Vick Products Inc. The company
that had launched the now famous Vicks Vaporub in
Both, the technical expertise and the marketing savvy
existed with these two daring individuals and their determination culminated in
the birth of Aries. Aries was started as a small company with a tiny office and
a small factory at Andheri,
The small size that most onlookers viewed as a handicap, was turned into Aries'
biggest strength by this industrious couple. The size permitted hands-on
supervision of almost all aspects of the running of an infantile company. This
resulted in closer interaction with all the people involved and generated a
very strong sense of loyalty and belonging among the employees.
Aries started life with a small range of Mineral Feed additives for animals and birds.
There was considerable encouragement from associates in the industry and also from the industry press. The effort of the Mirchandanis was lauded and initial trials resulted in an almost immediate acceptance of Aries' products.
Having got a foothold in the marketplace, Aries grew from strength to strength, launching one or more products every year. Soon Aries was considered a brand leader in the field of Mineral nutrition and boasted a range of products including mineral premixes, milk boosters, protein concentrates, vitamin premixes, anti-coccidial and anti-bacterial feed additives.
Around the mid-seventies, Aries' management perceived a plateauing of the feed additives market and rightly decided to look into avenues for diversification.
Taking into consideration that, in India, the animal and agricultural farmer are one and the same individual, it made good marketing sense to look at the agricultural products arena for further growth.
Having in-house expertise in Mineral Nutrition, Aries decided to concentrate on Mineral Nutrition in Agriculture. Surveys indicated that while Macro fertilization was practiced widely, Microfertilizers were an almost unknown commodity with the farmers. The little microfertilization being done, was with inorganic compounds that were well known to be low in efficiency.
Aries researched into world literature and data for compounds that could deliver mineral nutrients to plants more efficiently and zeroed in "Metal Chelates".
It then became necessary to adapt processes and manufacturing data to locally available ingredients and expertise. R and D solved the problem soon and Aries branched out into Agrochemicals with the introduction of Chelated Micronutrients.
A lot of hard work and efforts saw Aries Chelated Micronutrients become brand leaders in the area of Micronutrients, all over the country.
Simultaneous Research by Aries' scientists, based on feedback from the field, resulted in the introduction of Crop specific formulas of Chelates for individual crops. Based on market feedback, Aries developed and launched individual Metal Chelates like Zinc Chelates, Iron Chelates and so on.
In-house R and D also saw the introduction of Bactericides for Agriculture -- the first of its kind to be licensed for Agricultural use by the Govt. of India. Alongside came the introduction of Plant hormones.
During all this while, the prime consideration at Aries was always "Quality" - not only in the R and D labs and in finely controlled trials, but most importantly at the consumer level.
The consistent stress on quality has paid off in that Aries' products enjoy a very high level of customer confidence all over the country.
Today, Aries has manufacturing facilities and offices at 12 locations all over the country and employee strength exceeding 450 people.
Aries is accepted for the high quality of its products, both Agricultural and Veterinary, and enjoys a tremendous amount of Goodwill with dealers and consumers.
Aries is accepted as Brand leaders in the areas it operates in -- Nutritional products for Plant and Animal Health.
Aries has a very wide Distribution network country-wide - comparable to some of the best companies anywhere in the world. The total number of registered dealers runs into the thousands.
On 30th Dec. 1994, Aries was formally converted into a Public Company.
In 2001, Aries expanded its product line to include Secondary
Nutrients -
In 2002, Aries continued expanding its plant nutrition product line to include value-added, water soluble complexes of N, P and K.
Aries today has tied up several exclusive Marketing
arrangements with manufacturers of quality plant nutritional products all over
the world. All products sourced from abroad are formulated with specific inputs
from Aries' market intelligence and technical support from their technical
support teams. The R and D efforts of their International partners have
therefore taken into account the unique agro-climatic requirements of
Since the turn of the millennium, Aries has positioned
itself as
COMPANY OVERVIEW:
Their Company was founded by Dr. T. B. Mirchandani and Mrs. Bala Mirchandani in 1969. They are into the business of manufacturing of micronutrients and other nutritional products for plants and animals. They started their activity by manufacturing a small range of mineral feed additives for animals and birds and then diversified into mineral additives for the agriculture use. Their products were immediately accepted by the consumers and slowly it became the brand leader in the field of mineral nutrition with a range of products including mineral premixes, milk boosters, protein concentrates, vitamin premixes, anti-coccidian and anti-bacterial feed additives.
In 1975, they diversified into nutrients for plant. They had
in-house expertise in the area of mineral nutrition and thereby decided to
concentrate on the same. They conducted research on compounds that could
deliver mineral nutrients to plants more efficiently. The research zeroed in on
"Metal Chelates". The product had to be manufactured in accordance
with the locally available ingredients and expertise which posed a challenge for
the Company. Through in-house R and D efforts, Their Company branched out into
Agrochemicals in 1975 with the introduction of Chelated Micronutrients. They
pioneered the concept of Chelates in
They also conducted in-house R and D to develop bactericides for agriculture. They were amongst the first few to receive license for use of bactericides for agricultural use by the Govt. of India. This was then followed by the introduction of plant hormones. In 2001, Aries ex panded its product line to include secondary nutrients - sulphur, magnesium and calcium. In the subsequent years, they continued expanding Their plant nutrition product line to include value-added, water-soluble complexes of nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K).
