Background Acrysil Ltd was incorporated in 1987. The company is into the manufacturing and exporting of composite quartz & granite kitchen sinks from India with technical know-how from Schock & Co., Germany. The company s major share of income comes from exports of its products to more than 25 countries such as Poland, China, Malaysia, Greece, Great Britain, France, Bahrain, Malta, Mauritius, Singapore, Muscat, Doha, Jordan, Kenya, Surinam, Cyprus, Dubai, Romania, Israel and USA. The company markets its products under the brand name CARYSIL and is also an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for some major brands. The company's ISO 9000:2001 certified plant is located at Bhavnagar in Gujarat, India; with two manufacturing units with a total capacity of 2.2 lakh sinks per annum out of which one of them is an export oriented unit. The company holds 84.9% stake in Acrysil Quartz Pvt. Ltd and Acrysil Steel Pvt. Ltd and has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Germany i.e. Acrysil GMBH. Acrysil manufactures steel sinks through its subsidiary Acrysil Steel Pvt. Ltd which is marketed under the same name. Business overview Acrysil s revenue comes mostly from export of kitchenware, sinks and faucets. However with domestic consumers increasingly going in for premium kitchenware and faucets, Acrysil could be expected to capitalize on the increasing demand in local market also. Some of the main competitors for Acrysil are Kohler, Roca, Hindware and CERA sanitaryware. During FY12 exports accounted for 78% of its total income. Quartz, peroxide and resin are the major raw material required for manufacture of the composite sinks, which are imported. Because of the long lead time associated with imports, inventory cycle is usually high. However in FY12, the company has brought down its inventory holding period from 100 to 90 days. This dependence on imported raw materials also exposes the company to foreign exchange risks. Strengths and growth drivers Quartz composite sink being a niche product, has no substitutes in the market. The company has a huge domestic market which it can tap. The promoter has significant experience in kitchenware trading and manufacture. Risk and concerns Raw material price fluctuations due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rate may pose problem for the company. The company may face competition from local and Chinese manufacturers of sinks and kitchen materials also. The company is operating in working capital intensive business. Future strategy and expansion plans To cater to newer market and demand, the company is planning to increase its installed capacity of manufacturing quartz kitchen sinks to 2.75 lakh units per annum. The company is looking forward to invest in bio-fuel plants to save on power cost and conserve energy. The company plans to increase the productivity of its R&D facility and introduce new products in the market. Industry outlook The improving rate of literacy along with the increasing disposable income of the consumers resulting from the economic growth in the country is improvising the standard of living in the country. The improved standard of living is driving the demand growth of sanitary ware products in India. The sanitary ware market in developing countries like India and China has been growing tremendously for the past 5-6 years. However, in comparison, the growth is stagnant in the matured markets like US and Europe. The construction growth in China made it the largest market globally in 2011. However, India is set to become the second-largest consumer of sanitary ware products in Asia-Pacific region. The sanitary ware market in India is expected to grow immensely given the rising level of middle class, with growing disposable income in hand along with better education levels in the country. The government initiatives and boom in the real estate sector are further expected to contribute to the growing demand of sanitary ware products in the country. Penetration of sanitaryware in India is about 30% which is much lower than neighboring Asian countries, indicating significant growth potential for this sector in Indian market. The Indian sanitary ware market has been growing at about 10% a year, as compared to the global average growth of about 7%. The market size for sanitary ware and bathroom solutions within India is estimated to be over US$ 500 million in 2011. The branded segment accounts for a larger share of 60% and is growing at the rate of ~25% per annum. 2 Initiative of the BSE Investors Protection Fund
