The company manufactures synthetic leather and polyurethane resins used primarily in the footwear, automotive, and upholstery industries.
The company possesses a narrow moat through vertical integration, as it produces its own PU resin for captive use in coated fabrics. However, this advantage is offset by heavy reliance on volatile petroleum-based raw materials and intense price competition from large-scale Chinese imports, which prevents high, stable margins.
Management is reinvesting heavily in capacity expansion, specifically a new plant at Bhigan and increased PU adhesive capacity. While ROCE is healthy at 20%, the low cash conversion suggests significant capital is tied up in working capital and ongoing projects.
The investment collapsed as the company's aggressive capacity expansion at Bhigan coincided with a prolonged downturn in the footwear sector, leaving the new plant underutilized. Low cash conversion, already a visible weakness, deteriorated further as working capital became trapped in unsold inventory and receivables. Meanwhile, the narrow cost advantage from vertical integration was erased by a sustained spike in petroleum-based raw material costs and predatory pricing from Chinese competitors, causing the thin 6% net margins to turn negative and forcing a liquidity crunch.
