Your company has robust order booking position from traditional
customers like Railways, Power, Steel etc. and I am happy to inform you
that after successful supplies to Orissa Mining Minerals Ltd. of
Adhunik Group, we have bagged order worth Rs. 30 crores from M/s.
Bajrang Alloys for supply of equipments in the growing field of
Palletization . Your company has always ensured maintaining good
relations with their clients.
Your company has invested in CNC''s machines in last few years and I am
happy to inform you that we are utilizing these machines not only to
add value to our products, but also undertaking prestigious jobs for
machining from our customers.
The Technological & Structural Fabrication Unit is the recent addition
in the family of Simplex Castings Limited. Our focus is to book more
and more orders from the sectors like power, railways and oil & Gas.
This unit has advanced fabrication and machining facilities and we are
planning to tie up with foreign companies for value addition. I am
fully confident that our annual sales will increase with the addition
of this unit.
Our focus in the current year will be on sophisticated equipment
manufacturing rather than focusing on grouping of activities for
different equipments/ products. There is a huge demand for not only
castings but other equipments in the market and we can grasp the
upcoming opportunities.
I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to all the
shareholders for their continued trust in the management of the
company. I would also like to thank all our customers, dealers,
business suppliers, business associates, financial institutions, Banks
and the employees / staffs for their invaluable support and
cooperation.
I convey my sincere gratitude to the Board of Directors for their sound
and continued support towards the success of the Company.
With Best wishes,
Thanking You
Arvind Shah
