The company manufactures primary packaging materials including laminated tubes, tube laminates, and flexible packaging used mainly by the oral care, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries to package pastes and gels.
The company operates in a highly fragmented and competitive packaging industry with low barriers to entry. While it holds certifications for pharmaceutical packaging, its low average ROCE of 5.9% and volatile margins indicate a lack of durable pricing power or cost advantage.
Historically poor, evidenced by massive accumulated losses and negative ROE. Recent allocation has shifted toward backward integration through a new multi-layer film plant and solar power to reduce operating costs, funded by a significant rights issue to clear legacy debt.
The investment collapsed as the company's chronic accounting irregularities finally triggered a regulatory reckoning. The long-standing refusal to consolidate the Mauritius subsidiary and the discrepancies between bank filings and internal books proved to be symptoms of a deeper rot rather than mere administrative oversight. As the packaging industry's thin margins were further squeezed by rising raw material costs, the company's lack of pricing power meant it could not pass on expenses. The deferred tax assets, built on optimistic projections, were eventually written off when the promised profitability failed to materialize, leaving shareholders with a hollowed-out balance sheet and no competitive defense.
