BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Our Company entered into an agreement to sell business undertaking executed dated August 7, 2017 with M/s. Demac Steel and undertook the transfer of the Assets and Liabilities for a total consideration of ? 532.39 lakhs. The amount of the consideration was paid by way of issue of 53,238 Equity Shares of face value of ? 1,000 each to Varghese Vazhappily Davis, the sole proprietor of M/s. Demac Steel. The balance amount of ? 938/- was paid by way of a cheque. Furthermore, pursuant to the Business Transfer Agreement, M/s. Demac Steel agreed to not compete with our Company and subsequent to the transfer would have no rights in the business of our Company.
Our Company operates under the guidance of our Promoters, Vazhappily Davis Varghese, Divyakumar Jain and Ankur Jain. Our Promoter, Vazhappily Davis Varghese with the intention of expanding the business operations of M/s. Demac Steel, incorporated our Company for expanding our portfolio and reach. Our Company is engaged in the business of manufacturing galvanised pipes, tubes, and sheets. Owing to the consistent efforts of our Promoters, we have been able to create a brand presence in Kerala, under the name of ‘Demac Steel.
In 2018, our Company commenced manufacturing of galvanised pipes, tubes, and sheets by installing another electric resistance welding tube mill of an installed capacity of 3,500 MT in our manufacturing unit situated at Door No. 2/546/A & 2/546/B Mala, Pallipuram P O, Mala, Thrissur - 680 732,Kerala, India. . Our products find extensive application in the general households of Kerala. Galvanised pipes and tubes are used for building the roofs to reduce heat and avoid leakage, further the galvanisation process offers an added advantage of increasing the life of the product and enhancing its quality by making it rust-free. Our products are therefore manufactured to provide an effective solution to the continuous damage caused to houses in Kerala on account of inclement weather condition. Accordingly, our products experience a constant demand on account of being an indispensable raw material in the construction industry in Kerala. In order to capture the market and cater to the growing demand, in the year 2019, we increased our manufacturing capacity by installing another electric resistance welding tube mill of an installed capacity of 4,000 MT in our manufacturing unit.
