HISTORY

 

Promoted in 1965 by EID-Parry (India), Chennai, in collaboration with Distillers Company, UK, and Hercules Power, US, Schenectady Herdillia (SHL) was earlier known as Herdillia Chemicals. It manufactures heavy organic chemicals such as phenol, cumene, acetone, diacetone alcohol, phthalic anhydride, phthalates and their derivatives. In March'65, SHL entered into an agreement with Distillers Company to supply technical information for manufacturing phenol, cumene, diacetone alcohol and phthalates. In 1984, the interests of EID-Parry were taken over by Duncans Agro Industries and it is now a part of the Goenka-Duncan group. In 1994, SHL entered into a strategic alliance with Bayer, Germany, for setting up a facility to produce heat transfer media. The heat transfer media plant was commissioned in February'94. The isophorone plant was commissioned in April'94. The company expanded phenol capacity from 20000 tpa to 22500 tpa in a phased manner. In 1994-95, SHL increased the capacity for IBB from 1000 tpa to 2000 tpa. It received the ISO 9002 certification from BVQI in Dec.'95. During 1995-96, SHL increased the capacity for DPO, phenol and acetone to 3000 tpa, 24000 tpa and 14400 tpa respectively. HCL has set up a greenfield plant to produce 1 lac tpa of phenol and 60000 tpa of acetone at Dahej, Gujarat. SHL further increased the capacities of the Phenol, Acetone, Iso Butyl Benzene and Isophorone plant to 26,500, 16,170, 2,500 and 2,500 MT in the year 96-97. It has set up a captive cogeneration plant. The capacity of Phenol and Acetone plants was increased to 34,000 and 20,400 MT/year respectively in the year 1999-2000. The company was renamed Schenectady Herdillia consequent to acquisition of 81.19% of equity capital by Schenectady (India) Holdings Limited during April 2002. Consequent to the approval by Hon'ble Bombay High Court, Schenectady Specialities Asia Private Limited was merged with the company with effect from 28th November, 2002 and the appointed date was 27th September, 2002.

 

ACQUISITION OF THERMOSETS DIVISION OF XPRO INDIA LIMITED:

 

In alignment with SI Group business strategy, the Company was looking for expansion of its business operations in industrial resins which are adjacent to rubber resins and fall under one of the strategic market segment identified globally.

 

The Company identified an opportunity for augmenting its resin business through the acquisition of the Thermo sets Division of Xpro India Limited (XIL) engaged in manufacture of Thermo set moulding powders and Synthetic Resins.

 

The Company has since signed a Business Purchase agreement (BPA) with XIL on March 24, 2011, for purchase of its Thermo sets Division on a going concern basis and is in the process of acquiring the said business from XIL.

 

OPERATIONS REVIEW:

 

The sales turnover at Rs.9840.000 millions was higher by 33.5% compared to that of the previous year. The increase in turnover was due to both increase in the volumes sold and higher selling prices. The financial performance during the year improved due to increase in gross margins on sales. Margins improved due to a concerted effort to create value by extracting more from the existing plants, optimizing the sales realizations, judicious sourcing of raw materials and containment of costs. The internal accruals enabled the company to repay the outstanding debt during the year which significantly reduced the incidence of interest.

 

The Company is in the process of de-bottlenecking its capacity of Isophorone and expects to complete the same by end September 2011.

 

AMALGAMATION OF SCHENECTADY (INDIA) HOLDINGS PRIVATE LIMITED (SIHPL) WITH THE COMPANY:
