OVERVIEW
Incorporated in 2007, we are primarily engaged in (i) segregation of brass scrap (ii) manufacturing of brass ingots, billets and brass rods and (iii) manufacturing of brass based components (plumbing and sanitary parts).
Manufacturing of brass based components (plumbing and sanitary parts)- We manufacture various brass components (plumbing and sanitary parts) such as brass inserts, brass ceramic cartridges (brass spindles), brass valves, extension nipples etc. as per the customers requirements, from our two manufacturing units (Unit-I and Unit-II) located at village Lakhabaval, district Jamnagar. Some of the renowned brands which are our customers include Hindware, ROCA, Eauset, Somany, Supreme, AGI Greenpac (formerly known as HSIL) and Ashirvad Pipes. For Fiscal 2022 and 2023, our revenue from brass based components were
? 5,277.44 lakhs and ? 3,550.52 lakhs respectively, which contributed 12.47% and 7.20% respectively of our revenue from operations.
Manufacturing of brass ingots, billets and rods We manufacture brass ingots, billets and rods through brass scrap from our manufacturing unit-II located at Village Lakhabaval, District Jamnagar. We mainly export these products to China. Additionally, we supply brass ingots to esteemed customers in India such as Astral Limited, Kajaria Bathware and AGI Greenpac (formerly known as HSIL). For Fiscal 2022 and 2023, our revenue from sale of brass ingots, billets and rods were ? 13,337.55 lakhs and ? 19,864.72 respectively, which contributed 31.51% and 40.30% respectively of our revenue from operations.
Segregation of brass scrap We procure brass scrap mainly from international market such as USA, UK, Europe and Middle East. Post procurement, segregation of brass is done at our unit-III located at Village Lakhabaval, District Jamnagar. Post segregation, the segregated brass is termed as Brass scrap honey. The brass scrap is mainly sold by us in Gujarat. For Fiscal 2022 and 2023, our revenue from sale of brass scrap were ? 23,646.29 lakhs and ? 25,830.18 lakhs respectively, which contributed 55.87% and 52.41% respectively of our revenue from operations.
Brass is an alloy generally made from Copper and Zinc. Copper is a malleable and ductile metallic element that is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity as well as being corrosion resistant and antimicrobial. (Source: https://mines.gov.in/webportal/copper). The ability to conduct electricity and heat are two of the most important properties of copper. When alloyed with other metals, it acquires additional properties including increased hardness, tensile strength and improved corrosion resistance. Brass and Bronze are two of the most important alloys of copper. Copper and brass are the materials of choice for plumbing, taps, valves and fittings for their aesthetic appeals. (Source: https://ibm.gov.in/writereaddata/files/07072014112340marketsurvey_copper.pdf). Owing to its corrosion resistance in varied types of environment, zinc is used for protecting steel by way of galvanising. (Source: https://mines.gov.in/webportal/internationalmineralscenario).
Recycling brass helps to conserve natural resources by reducing the need to mine and extract new metals. Recycling also reduces energy consumption, as it takes less energy to recycle brass than it does to produce new brass. Additionally, recycling brass helps to minimise the environmental impact of mining and processing new metals, as well as reducing waste in landfills. Brass is used in a wide range of applications which include:
We currently operate through 3 facilities, all of which are located in the district of Jamnagar, which is considered as a hub of brass components. We manufacture brass billets & ingots, brass rods and brass components (plumbing parts) from our unit-I situated at
land of 4970 sq. mtrs. and the brass components (sanitary parts) are manufactured from our unit-II situated at land of 3629 sq. mtrs. And, our Unit-III, situated at land of 3346 sq. mtrs. is used for segregation of scrap. As on date of this DRHP, we have an installed capacity to produce 9,900 Mt for manufacturing of brass billets and ingots, 8,250 Mt for manufacturing brass rods and 3,300 Mt for manufacturing of brass components. Our units have requisite testing equipments to ensure that the products conform with the pre- determined standards.
Currently, we market our products to around 18 states & Union Territories in India of which majority portion of the revenue comes from the state of Gujarat. We also export our products to countries such as China, Germany, Belgium and Oman. Our revenue from exports for fiscal 2023 and 2022 was ? 16,235.87 lakhs and ? 11,335.13 lakhs respectively which constituted 32.94% and 26.78% of our revenue from operations for the respective fiscal.
Our existing Promoters, Mr. Ramgopal Ochhavlal Maheshwari and Mr. Bhavesh Ramgopal Maheshwari has more than 34 years and 6 years of experience in the brass industry. We have benefited immensely from the vast experience of our promoters on account of their sound knowledge of the brass market, high contacts with clients and suppliers and better decision-making power.
