STATE OF COMPANY'S AFFAIRS

Sintex is a globally renowned conglomerate straddling the composites and plastic solutions sectors with 35 manufacturing facilities and global footprint span across nine countries and four continents. The Company has come a long way from making tanks to developing complex niche solutions that cater to high-growth critical sectors.

The Company enjoys a strong presence in the European markets through its subsidiary Sintex NP SAS (Europe). In India, the Company operates through its subsidiaries Sintex-BAPL Limited (developing and delivering high-end custom moulded products and solutions to diverse sectors) and Sintex Prefab and Infra Limited (which undertakes EPC contracts for various infrastructure projects across the country).

PERFORMANCE OF SUBSIDIARIES

The Company enjoys a dominant presence in the plastic processing and custom moulding in India and across the globe through its subsidiaries. While Sintex-BAPL Limited caters to the Indian markets, Sintex NP has enabled the Company to create a strong recall among discerning global OEMs in Europe. Sintex Wausaukee, Sintex Logistics LLC catered to global OEMs operating in North America.

Sintex-BAPL Limited: The Company’s custom moulding operations can be classified into two segments 1) develops application-specific standard products catering to diverse sectors and 2) develops customer-specific products primarily catering to the automotive sector. The Company has subsidiaries namely BAPL Rototech Pvt. Ltd., Sintex Logistics LLC and Sintex NP have specific strategic road maps for each.

Application-specific custom moulded products: As the name suggests, this vertical comprises niche solutions that address critical sectors that are high on any Indian Government’s Social and Economic Requirement priority namely water management (the famous Sintex Water Tanks), sewerage management, fuel management, resources for the rural sector, environment management, warehousing, electrical, building material and power theft, among others. As such a large part of the business volumes comes from Government tenders. As prudent de-risking, the Company has created distribution channels that address retail requirement mushrooming pan India. In 2017-18, this flagship revenue contributor, performed significantly well registering a healthy overall growth. This was owing to increasing acceptance of the Company’s new-age products and the Company’s efforts in widening its service quotient to customers - leading to customer delight.

Customer-specific custom moulding: Plastics vertical primarily caters to the automotive segment supplying various components to global OEMs operating in India. The uptick in the automobile segment provided significant impetus to the fortune of this business

- larger number of orders from existing and new customers enabled the Company post a healthy revenue growth over the previous year. Improved orders from the electrical customers also contributed to business and profit growth. The Company continued to expand its capability matrix (inaugurated a new paint shop in South India) which facilitates in expanding in opportunity canvass. This augurs well for sustaining the Company’s growth momentum over the coming years.

BAPL Rototech Pvt. Ltd.: The Company manufacturing of plastic Fuel Tanks, Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)/Urea Tanks/Adblue Tanks and CV exterior parts Fender, Mud Guards, snorkels etc leveraging the technology from Rototech S.R.L., Italy. Even as the technology transfer from its JV partner is in progress, the Company registered a healthy performance in 2017-18 with revenue growing by 542.96% over the previous year.

Sintex Logistics LLC: Prior to the close of Sintex Wausaukee, the Group formed Sintex Logistics LLC (a step down subsidiary to Sintex-BAPL Limited) to sustain Sintex’s marketing presence in the US to service OEMs in North America. The foundation of this venture was pivoted on the supply of SMC parts from Sintex-BAPL Limited, Kalol to Cummins Power. In addition, the Company has also received confirmed orders from Alstom Transportation and Siemens Mobility to supply parts to them in 2018 enabling the start-up to register significant growth in the first full year of its operations.

Sintex NP In 2017, the group activity has been strong in most of the companies, driven by most of its market segments with an acceleration during the second half in non-automotive sectors. So even as the top line grew at about 5% over the previous year, the net profit increased by more than 1 5% owing to an increase contribution of value-added products in the revenue mix and benefit arising out of the teams continued efforts in raising operational efficiencies.

The Company’s R&D efforts continued to operate aligned to Sintex NP’s strategic blueprint. Many projects initiated in 2016 relating to aeronautics, thermoplastic composite applications gathered momentum in the current year. Furthermore, the team deliberated extensively on plastronics issues with electronics solutions on soft supports. These efforts are expected to yield results over the medium term.

Sintex Wausaukee Composites Inc: Sintex Wausaukee is based on its expertise in manufacturing highly engineered composite and fiber-glass components across diverse OEM sectors (construction equipment, agriculture, medical injecting and mass transit).

However, a subdued business environment in key user sectors led to low business volumes. This coupled with operational expenses exerted considerable financial pressure on the Company. During 2017, the management could not make any significant headway in improving the performance of the Company. In Fall 2017, Sintex Wausaukee Composites (SWC) was sold to one of its major customer Carfair Composites USA Inc. in an asset sale of the Wausaukee WI and Gillett WI facilities and equipment culminating in the close of the Sintex Wausaukee Composites Inc. The sale of SWC to Carfair Composites USA Inc., was completed on 25 Sep 2017.
