MOVING INTO RURAL, SEMI
URBAN & UP COMING METROS
Due to boom in the construction
sector and changing consumer behaviour, our existing as well as proposed
products are widely accepted in domestic market. Markets for our products
are also penetrating into rural areas, semi urban areas and up coming metro
cities. Similarly, due to increased awareness among masses about sanitation
facilities coupled with the efforts of government to increase sanitation in
the urban and semi urban areas through the implementation of various
projects, there is an ever growing demand for the Sanitary Ware products. In
view of the above, Company proposes the following strategies for future
growth:
TEAM OF PROFESSIONALS &
TECHNOCRATS
Company has a team of professionals
and technocrats to look after various stages of production, commercial and
marketing divisions of our Company. Company believes in transparency, flow
of information, commitment to the work among our work force and with our
valuable customers, suppliers, investors, government authorities, banks and
financial institutions etc. Over a period of time, company has been able to
build an image that can be matched with its peers. The philosophy of
professionalism is the foundation stone of its business strategy and
company’s wish is to make it more sound and strong in times to come.
INCREASING CUSTOMER BASE
Company intends to grow business
continuously by adding new customers both in existing as well as in the new
countries. Company’s aim to do this by effective leveraging of its marketing
skills & relationships and further enhancing customer satisfaction.
IMPROVING PRODUCT
PORTFOLIO AND ADDITION OF NEW PRODUCTS
Company intends to extend existing
range of ceramic and sanitary products to include a wider range of products
with quality. The customers will be benefited by procuring various products
under a single roof and company will be able to sell variety of products to
its valued customers. Company’s multi-product portfolio also allows it to
sustain the cost of high level of services, which it aims to give to its
customers.
BETTER TECHNOLOGY FOR
QUALITY PRODUCTS
Company intends to produce the best
quality ceramic and Sanitary Ware Products and finely finished aluminium
extruded sections, which are acceptable worldwide. For that, Company shall
be deploying better technologies in Production as well as in R & D
Departments. Company’s R & D Department will find out better avenues to
enhance the quality of our products while at the same time reducing the cost
of production.
FOCUS IS ON OPERATIONAL
EFFICIENCIES AND COST COMPETITIVENESS
Company intends to maintain
operational efficiencies to levels comparable with its peers in the
industry. Further, company intends to reduce its operational costs to
maintain competitiveness and offer the quality products at reasonable
prices.
EXPANDING CAPACITIES
The proposed project is a part of
company’s business strategy to expand its overall production capacity by
setting up of a new Sanitary Ware division, to meet the increasing demand
from customers. This diversification will enhance its product range and add
one more segment in its business. Company’s aim is also to widen the
existing products range, which will enable it to meet the growing demands of
the existing market segments. Company has entered in to a contract with
SACMI Hong Kong Ltd. for supply of major Plant & Machinery for our project
CONSTRUCTION BOOM TO
TRIGGER THE FUTURE GROWTH
The future prospects of Company
appear better considering the boom in the construction sector. Company has
been expanding production base by undertaking periodical expansion and has
become a sizeable player in the Vitrified Ceramic Tiles industry. The boom
in construction sector has also brought new applications for the aluminium-extruded
sections manufactured by the company in the form of window frames,
doorframes, roofings, partitions, false ceilings and hardware. Also the use
of aluminium extruded sections in the other sectors such as transport in the
form of window frames and panels and Consumer durables such as electrical
accessories, refrigerator, air conditioners etc. is increasing. With more
usage of Aluminium extrusions in the constructions industry and consumer
durables industry we foresee a rise in demand for aluminium extruded
sections. Company will need to expand in future to meet this growing demand
of use of aluminium extrusions. Company is also diversifying in
manufacturing of Sanitary Ware. The Sanitary Ware segment in India also has
a sizeable growth due to the overall boom in the construction sector. After
this diversification in the Sanitary Ware, Company will have an added
advantage to cater to vide range of customers and markets such as shopping
malls, up coming airports, BPO’s Call centers, soft ware parks, hospitals,
and housing sectors etc.
EXPORTING TO USA, SA &
MIDDLE EAST
At present, Company is exporting
Vitrified Ceramic Tiles in small quantities only to USA, South Africa and
Middle East like United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, etc., due to limited
production capacity. With the increase in the production capacity, company
would be in a position to cater the needs of export market in a better way.
With the proposed Project, Company would be geared to develop new markets
and increase presence in the global scenario.
Captive power plant
Power is an important factor in
every manufacturing facility. Considering the power requirements of
company’s existing manufacturing facilities and the facilities to be created
under the new project, company has completed the installation of a 10MW
Lignite based captive power plant. This captive power plant uses lignite as
a fuel to generate power. There is easy availability of lignite in Bhachau,
which is used as fuel in the captive power plant and thus ensures continuous
supply of the fuel to the captive power plant and thereby ensuring
uninterrupted power to its manufacturing facilities. Uninterrupted power
supply helps to maintain the kiln temperature during the production process
and enables production of high quality Vitrified Ceramic Tiles and thereby
avoiding losses from production of sub standard Vitrified Ceramic Tiles. In
the case of Aluminium Extruded Sections, it enables the extrusion process
and the ageing process to be carried out in a continuous manner without any
loss of time. Similarly, the manufacturing process of Sanitary Ware will
also require power, as in the case of vitrified ceramic tiles. The captive
power plant will provide us cheaper power as compared to the state
electricity board. The captive power plant will make company self sufficient
in the power required both for the existing manufacturing facilities of
Vitrified Ceramic Tiles and aluminium extruded sections and the proposed
project of sanitary ware.
Proximity to Sources of
Raw Materials
For the production of Vitrified
Ceramic Tiles, raw materials such as Soda & Potash Feldspar are procured
from Beawar, Rajasthan. Another raw material China clay is also available in
abundance in nearby areas. Further, other materials, consumables, chemicals
etc. are also available in nearby areas. For Aluminium Extruded Sections,
the main raw material is Aluminium ingots or billets, which can either be
purchased from the primary aluminium manufacturers in the domestic markets
or we can make aluminium ingots or billets through the process of melting
aluminium scrap which is freely traded item in the local market as well.
Proximity to Markets
The major local markets for ceramic
products and Aluminium Extruded Sections are in Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chennai,
Hyderabad, Pune, Kolkata and Delhi. Our factory site is well connected to
the major local markets by Rail or Road. The export markets for our products
are in the Gulf region, USA, South Africa and Europe. The Kandla port is
around 50 Km. from our factory site, whereas Bhuj and Rajkot airport are
located at a distance of 65 Km. and 140 Km. respectively from our factory
site.
