and export growth to South East Asia / Middle East Countries. The sales growth
in value is 34.19% over 2010-11. There has been a net profit growth of 102.14%
over the previous year.
FUTURE PROSPECTS:
The company is expected to hold on the current business though there may

PRESS RELEASE:
ASHA PENN COLOR REQUESTS GOVT TO ENSURE
EXPORTS OF PIGMENTED DISPERSION
By
Asha Penn Color Private Limited, a Mumbai-based specialty chemical
producer, has requested the Government to allow it to import raw material
against the export of different types of pigmented dispersion.
Asha Penn, a leading manufacturer and exporter of pigmented chips, recently
developed a new product called pigmented dispensions which is also similar
family to pigmented chips with the difference in its physical existence i.e.
paste form instead of dry chips form.
The norms for export of pigmented chips are already fixed with nominal wastage
of two per cent and allowing the import of relevant resin, relevant pigment,
relevant plasticizer and relevant solvent.
"Therefore, we have requested the Government to allow us to import the
items to cater to our needs so that we can continue manufacturing our products
uninterrupted, thus generating foreign exchange for the country," a
company official said.
Solvent is used as medium for dissolving and homogenous mixing of
various ingredients such as pigment, resin and plasticizer etc. For getting
homogenous mixing, addition of 20 per cent of the weight of chips is inevitable
and it gets evaporated in the drying process. Moreover, the pigment dispersions
are made from pigmented hips by dissolving the same in solvent.
"Our product is pigmented dispersions and hence the additional solvent
remains in the export product. In fact as high as 60 per cent of the finished
product weight is solvent," the official said.
While giving details of the manufacturing process of its product, the company requested
the Government to take note that it had asked for nominal wastage of 2 per cent
which was in realty more than 2 per cent.
"As far as the composition of the resultant product is concerned,
please note that we have already shown the net content and this net content is
worked out as some-total of different types and grades of pigmented dispersion
proposed to be exported under the said heading. And accordingly if percentage
contained is mentioned along with the description of the product then it will
not tally with individual consignment and hence we request you to kindly
mention only the net content. The net content shall be certified by customs or
Central Excise. Hence, we request you to kindly do mention % content," the
company said in a letter.

SHAVE DAYS OFF NEW PRODUCT LAUNCHES WITH PENN COLOR SYSTEM USING X-RITE COLOR
MEASUREMENT TECHNOLOGY
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., April 2, 2012 – Product designers and packaging engineers can shave days off the introduction of new plastic products with a system pioneered by Penn Color Inc. using technology from X-Rite Inc. that speeds color selections for plastics.
Penn Color, the Doylestown, Penn.-based supplier of colorants for the plastics
industry, has launched its ChromaSort M system where designers and engineers
can use pocket-sized spectrophotometers at their workstations or remote
locations to measure the color of samples or inspiration items, then accurately
match the results against an internal memory of about 5,000 colors.
Instead of sending samples to Penn Color for measurement or taking guesses on
colors from printed fan decks, customers can use X-Rite's CAPSURE instrument to
accurately measure colors and order plastic sample chips from Penn Color for
delivery in only a day or two. The traditional method takes days longer to
respond to sample requests.
Penn Color and X-Rite representatives will be demonstrating the ChromaSort M
system and CAPSURE at the NPE2012 International Plastics Showcase in Orlando,
Fla. from April 2 to 5. The X-Rite demonstration will take place at booth 26027
in the Orange County Convention Center South Hall.
"Our new system gives designers and engineers a much more powerful way to
approach color selection for plastic products than just using a fan deck or
swatch book," said Jim Walsh, Penn Color's Technical
Director-Thermoplastics at its Hatfield, Penn. facility. "The problem with
using fan decks is that the colors you see represent ink on paper -- it's not
the actual plastic."
Walsh said the ChromaSort M system -- with the "M" honoring color
theory and instrumentation advocate Marge Stanish who died recently -- provides
a precise representation of the color as a plastic item. The CAPSURE can
even show examples of colors similar to the target colors, but where "a
color may look like one unit lighter or darker than the original, or what a
color may look like with a tinge more yellow, blue, red or green," he
said.
In addition to accuracy and flexibility, the Penn Color system reduces the time
it takes to get new products to market. After the desired color has been
determined, the CAPSURE instrument will indicate the product number of the Penn
Color formula of colorants. A designer or engineer can then call Penn
Color to have an email and phone quotes on colorant costs and use rates, which
are ratios of colorants to virgin resins to achieve specific colors. Most
importantly, Penn Color representatives will send actual plastic chips of the
desired colors by express mail to individuals requesting the information.
The system will first offer a selection of about 5,000 colors in polyolefin resins, which are largely used to make bottles, caps, and films. Penn Color plans to add color libraries for PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and other resins as the program evolves, Walsh said.
At the heart of Penn Color's new selection system is a palm-sized
spectrophotometer introduced by X-Rite last year that combines a number of
handy features with an accurate and reliable way of measuring color at a
person's workstation. CAPSURE's small size and lithium battery recharged
through a USB port make it a powerful tool for measuring colors of samples at
the workstation or remote locations.
The CAPSURE instrument can determine colors on a wide range of inspiration
objects -- plastic components, printed materials such as labels and magazine
illustrations, textiles and fabrics -- by illuminating the test surface from
three different directions and recording 27 color-accurate images in less than
2 seconds, a image capture technology that eliminates the shadows and
interference that can degrade measurements.
"We ran an impromptu test of how well the CAPSURE could measure color when
I was sitting in a conference room with my boss and a few other people,"
Walsh said. "Just for the heck of it, we measured a burgundy leather
chair, and it pulled up a match from the 100 plastic color chips that we had
loaded in its memory.
"I pulled the chip out, and held it up to the chair, and we couldn't
believe it. It was a deep burgundy just like the chair. The only
difference was a little gloss because the chip was an acrylic versus a leather
chair, but hue was dead on."
CAPSURE also has the ability to determine up to four colors within a
multi-colored pattern for developing matching or complementary color palettes,
and designers and engineers can record the date and time of measurements and
images, and add text and voice dictation. "You can put a voice tag on a
particular target, so -- after looking at hundreds of colors in the day --
you can easily know what colors are associated with particular projects,"
Walsh said.
Those requesting the plastic samples can change some parameters such as opacity
when they order a small test batch of the formulation, he said. "We
expect that the new system will become a game changer with product designers
and packaging engineers who want to give their customers some value-added
services," Walsh said. "We think they will really be excited
about the possibilities."
Founded in 1964, Penn Color has built a strong reputation in providing
additives and color concentrates at the right particle size suspended in an
appropriate carrier to companies that manufacture film and sheet,
packaging, house wares, compounds, building materials, and synthetic
fibers. With about 600 employees in facilities in the United States, the
Netherlands, and its Asha Penn Color Private Limited. Joint venture in
Valsad, India, Penn Color also sells full lines of inks and coatings to
companies in the Americas, Europe and Asia.
Based in Grand Rapids, Mich., X-Rite (NASDAQ:XRIT) and its Pantone LLC
subsidiary is the leader worldwide in color management and data communication
for automotive, appliance, photographic, graphic arts and other industries.
