Quality Player
'Malabar' roofing sheets are manufactured in an automated plant with the finest raw materials available. All products manufactured by MBPL confirm to BIS specifications. They undergo stringent quality tests at every stage of production. The consistency in quality and availablility has made 'Malabar' roofing sheets one of the most reputed products among builders and architects. These are being widely used in various construction projects like Industrial structures, commercial buildings and for domestic roofing all over South India for the past two decades.
'Malabar' Roofing Sheets can withstand rigours of extreme weather conditions without losing any of their special attributes like dimensional stability, resistance to fire and moisture. They are termite-proof, hence hardly need any maintenance.
A dabble into diversification
Malabar is mainly involved in the manufacturing and marketing of building materials like Aerocon panels, AC roofing sheets, and ARTZ sanitaryware. It has also diverisified in to the manufacturing of solid surfacing materials and cultured marble products, with a Rs 3 crore facility at Alwaye, Kerala that can produce about 200 tonne of materials per annum.
The company has also entered into a marketing alliance with the $1-billion Wilsonart International of the US to offer "Eurostone" decorative surfacing material in the country. In addition to selling the products, Malabar Building Products also provides a wide range of customer support and design services to ensure perfect installation. The company is also opening "Eurostone showrooms" in Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kochi for educating the architects and customers.
Eurostone is available in an array of 24 colours, unlike the limited range of marble and granite which can be co-ordinated or contrasted with the colour scheme of the environment. It can be polished to high gloss or matt finish to resemble rawstone. One of the main advantages of this material is that it is completely renewable.
Wilsonart International is the largest manufacturer of solid surfacing, decorative laminates, and laminates flooring in North America and a world leader in decorative surfacing. The company manufacturers and distributes surfacing options in more than 100 countries.
Strong on financials
For the year ended March 2005, Malabar reported Revenues of Rs 31 crore (Rs 27 crore), with after tax profits of Rs 2.51 crore (Rs 2.51 crore)-an effective EPS of Rs 12 on a small equity of Rs 2 crore. With fiscal 2006 revenues projected at Rs 35 crore, and an after tax profit of Rs 3 crore, the stock remains a BUY.
The biggest trigger is the very large possibility of Malabar being merged with Hyderababd Industries during the fiscal 2006, with the swap ratio highly in favour of Malabar shareholders. So effectively Malabar will become a tracking stock for Hyderabad Industries.
