 B. Patel, 
 Mr. Anant K. Kamdar & Mr. Chandresh S. Parikh, was a Pioneer in the
 Mineral Industry 
 and has established itself as one of the top five Mineral
 manufacturers in India.   
 
 Since the concept of micronization was totally new and
 revolutionizing in the Indian 
 market and the introductory product from the Company was of a 20
 Micron particle 
 size, the name sounded quite unique and substantially relevant to the
 Industry. This is 
 how the Company was named and is now a major brand recognized in the
 industries 
 we serve.  
 
 Mr. Chandresh S. Parikh, with his innovative insight, business acumen
 and farsightedness 
 and with the active support of Mr. Bhanubhai B. Patel and Mr. B. B.
 Parikh, ventured to 
 start this Mineral Processing Company. He was supported by Mr.
 Bhanubhai B. Patel who 
 has wide experience in Paints industry, Mr. Anant K. Kamdar and Mr.
 B. B. Parikh who was 
 a marketing Director (Mr. B.B. Parikh disassociated himself  from the
 Company during the 
 year 2003).   
 
 The Company commenced its Commercial Operations on 04.10.1988 by
 setting an industrial 
 unit at WAGHODIA, Gujarat with an annual Capacity of 2,400 MT.    
 
 With a view to meeting with increasing demand of Micronized Minerals
 and focusing 
 attention for carrying on the same business, separate legal entities
 as named below were 
 incorporated by separate group of Promoters in complete co-ordination
 and leadership of 
 Mr. Chandresh S. Parikh.

 Subsequently, realizing the importance and rationale of Amalgamation
 such as:  
 
 i) To achieve economies on large scale, Synergy of operations and
 optimization 
 of costs, 
 
 ii) To lead to a greater economy and efficiency by sharing rather
 than duplicating productions, 
 distributions, marketing, research, management services, and
 facilities. 
 
 iii) To combine resources of all the companies would be better
 utilized for the purpose of 
 future growth and development.
 
 All the above companies were amalgamated with 20ML, upon completion
 of all legal formalities, 
 including obtaining High Courts’ Orders of the respective States in
 that behalf. The entire process 
 of amalgamation was completed during 1998 and 2002.  
 
 This has helped the Company to become a Flagship Company and a
 conglomerate. 20 ML also 
 became a multi-locational Company with an annual capacity of 90,400
 metric tonnes and paid-up 
 share capital of Rs. 1244 Lacs. The manufacturing operations are
 carried on at Waghodia, Vadadla 
 & Bhuj in Gujarat; Alwar, Swaroopgunj & Udaipur in Rajasthan and
 Hosur & Tirunelveli in Tamilnadu. 
 The manufacturing activities at Bhuj are being carried on by Wet
 Process and to facilitate operations 
 of the said unit, imported Cryogenic Magnetic Separator was installed
 thereat. This has brought 
 about maximization of yield and better returns. The Company had also
 obtained mining leases at 
 Chhotaudaipur & Mamuara in Gujarat for Dolomite and China Clay,
 respectively; Moras in Rajasthan 
 for Calcite and Tirunelveli in Tamilnadu for Lime Stone. The Company
 has a wide spread Marketing 
 set-up with the Offices at Kolkata, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad &
 Vadodara.  
 
 The Products of the Company have been widely accepted in different
 industries like Paints, Paper, 
 Plastics, Cement, Rubber, Ceramics, etc. The sales turnover for FY 07
 increased to Rs. 8,741 Lacs 
 from Rs 6749 Lacs in FY 06.  This increase was mainly due to
 effective marketing of value added 
 products & increase in consumption by Plastics, Extrusions,
 Petrochemicals & paper industries 
 across the Country. This growing industry has helped the mineral
 industry to grow at the same rate. 
 The focus on higher capacity utilization at all manufacturing
 locations and identification of high-value 
 products has also added to higher turnover.
 
 The Company has well equipped Research and Development Center (R&D
 Center) located at village 
 Vadadla, Dist-Vadodara, Gujarat is a well equipped unit possessing
 all adequate facilities to carryout 
 well diversified R&D work pertaining to the minerals and their
 application in different fields. The 
 center's activities are always aimed at achieving the Company's
 objective to be globally competitive 
 by way of product innovation, up-gradation of technology and
 continuous improvement in quality of 
 the finished goods. The Company has a customer oriented approach and
 the R & D Centre lines up 
 its activities to cater to their needs. The R & D Centre is working
 on its own without the support of any 
 outside agency and has developed various mineral based Value Added
 Products & Speciality Chemicals.

 Rs. 11,469 Lacs, including 
 Exports turnover of Rs. 1,162 Lacs & net profit of Rs. 459 Lacs.
