The company is a subsidiary of SCA Group Holdings BV, Netherland. The main objectives of the Company includes the business of importing, exporting, manufacturing, producing, marketing and generally dealing in institutional hygiene products, baby care products, feminine care products, incontinence care products, tissue products and any other hygiene products of every kind and description.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

The Company entered the baby-care market with the launch of its two flagship brands - Libero and Tempo in November 2013, with the objective to establish SCA as the preferred supplier of personal hygiene products in India. Sales operations were launched in the Western states of Maharashtra, Goa and expanded into the Southern states of Kerala and Karnataka in a phased manner. The company sells through multiple sales and distribution channels, including modern trade retail chains and on-line sales platforms. The required supply chain infrastructure to support and grow the company’s sales operations is being established.

 

The key element of the Company’s marketing for Libero baby care products are the maternity training and sampling activity, combined with selective television and outdoor advertising. The focus of the Tempo tissue campaign is the food platform with trials at fast food chains and key eateries. The key focus for both brands is visibility and trial in order to create pulls out of stores.

 

The Company is in the process of setting up a diaper manufacturing plant in Ranjangaon near Pune and the construction is progressing as per plan.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

Given India’s large population and the low penetration of hygiene products, the company sees a strong opportunity to build a local hygiene business. The Directors are hopeful of the growth and the company will achieve better financial performance in the Future.

SCA EYES BIG PIE IN HYGIENE MARKET

 

 

The traction in the Indian market has so far been good. India is a continent with different culture

 

The 10.3 billion euro SCA Hygiene Products of Sweden, which sells the Libero brand of baby diapers among other products, is planning to step on the pedal in a bid to establish itself as a preferred brand for hygiene solutions in India over the long-term.

 

The company, which started its operations in November 2013, is gearing to up ramp up its sales and distribution as its upcoming Rs.150-crore greenfield manufacturing unit is set to be operational by early next year.

 

The new plant is expected to make SCA’s products cheaper. It will also help the company grow organically in the near-term in India. The company sees considerable future potential due to large population and limited use of hygiene products.

 

“We are already in the process of deciding our next investment. We see very good progress in different areas, and will quickly move to Phase-2 investment plans,” Thomas Wulkan, President-Middle East, India and Africa, SCA Hygiene Products AB, said here.

 

The company is in the process of boosting its own sales and retail presence besides laying a strong thrust on training programmes. “Of course, this journey will take some time, but we are confident that it will be a more successful route to establish our brands,” he added.

 

SCA is also investing heavily in gaining local knowledge and standards around personal care, hygiene and baby-care products. Its global products are tailored to Indian circumstances. Its Libero brand of baby diapers in India has natural ingredients according to customers’ preferences here.

 

“The traction in the Indian market has so far been good. For us, India is not a country. It is a continent with different culture. We will build our business step-by-step. Our product offering will combine global practices with local insights,” said Cecilia Edebo, Managing Director, SCA Hygiene Products India.

 

The firm has embarked on a massive promotional campaign targeted at doctors, midwives, hospitals and baby health clinics. Its Tena brand of incontinence care products will be launched next.

 

 

SWEDISH FIRM SCA TO START PRODUCTION IN INDIA NEXT YEAR

 

SCA, a leading Swedish global hygiene and forest products company, will commence production from its plant at Ranjangaon, near Pune, from next year.

 

"The construction work at the plant near Pune is almost over and we hope to start manufacturing products such as tissues and diapers including those for adults from early next year," Cecillia Edebo, managing director, SCA Hygiene Products India, said.

 

The company will also be forming its own sales & marketing team for pushing its products in the country, she said, adding the firm saw a huge market potential in India with its vast population.

 

"India is just not a country, but a continent with different kind of people. We have established contacts with 1165700 mothers and babies besides 934 nurses from 1,500 paediatric clinics in various parts of the country," she told a group of visiting Indian reporters here.

 

The company also plans to initiate interactions with pharmacists in India from next year, she said, adding it has put in place a few doctors for online advice on hygiene besides usage of smartphones for highlighting the significance of its products.

 

The plant, spread over 30 acres of land near Pune, has been set up at a cost of over Rs.1500.000 Millions, Edebo said. The land has been taken on 99-year lease from the Maharashtra government. The plant will roll out products that will match the quality of products made by the company in Sweden and elsewhere, she added.

 

It may be recalled that the industrial 'mega project policy' of the state government has been framed to attract more investments and generate employment opportunities. SCA offers baby diapers and other baby care products globally under the brands Libero, Drypers, Pequenin and Treasures.
