III Indian cities and other key regions. The Company proposes to open
15 retail outlets in the next couple of years at various locations
while launching new brands in the cities of South India, Gujarat and
Maharashtra within the next couple of years.
We expect to increase our monthly garment output from approx 5 lacs
units a month to around 8 lacs units per month through the course of
2012-13 following the increase in worker deployment. Considering that
our plant has sufficient unutilized space, there is room for
sustainable growth for the next three years without needing to move
into a new location.
Acquisition of Business(es):
The Company has acquired the assets of Benzo Petro International
Limited (BPIL) located at Baroda, Gujarat. Acquisition of assets of
said Company would be contributing substantially to the expansion
program of the business of Sudar Industries Limited [SIL]. Some of the
broad reasons for the same are:
- SIL will emerge as a fully integrated pharmaceutical company
- SIL will save environmental clearances time of around two years,
while opening markets and proponing revenues.
- SIL''s said acquisitions of BPIL''s assets comprising of land &
building and Plant and Machineries, along with selected few of the
Pharma-Intermediaries and Agro-Chemical products with necessary
government licences for the manufacture of said items including our
selected niche products, shall enable us to commence the production
immediately which otherwise would have taken around minimum four years.
- The said expansion in the form of diversification has given the
company of amalgamating two businesses of different characteristics for
incrementing the profitability and ensuring sustainability of SIL in
the competitive business environment. SIL will enter a tender-based
business where volume will drive the Company''s top line and reduce
SIL''s dependence on garment manufacture.
The core capabilities of the Benzo Petro comprise the following:
- Ready to use, under operation, plant and machinery with further
operating life of over 15 years minimum.
- Open land around the present plant ensures further expansion process
of the company in the same region without causing re-location/
- All licenses and permits readily available
- Plants & machineries in good operating conditions to process our
range of products
- Strong R&D, engineering and manufacturing capabilities
- Track record of multi-step synthesis
- Sound understanding of global regulatory requirements
- Professional dedication to product quality standards
- High health, safety and environmental standards
- Dedication to confidentiality obligations and IPR protection

advantage off to suit our culture and management principles
