Dear Shareholders,
I am happy to share with you that your company in the year 2007-08 achieved
its best ever performance in terms of sales, product development and financial
results.
Our Manesar and Pune Plants are fully operational and are meeting all
the requirement of our customers i.e. Maruti Suzuki India Limited and
Tata Motors Limited – to their full satisfaction. Achieving high
customer satisfaction is indeed very credible, especially in view of intensified
competition, even though your company continues to maintain its leadership
position in the market.
Our focus, in the quest for excellence, continues to be People and Technology.
As a result we have made substantial investments in technology, processes,
systems and infrastructure, innovation and brand building towards acquiring
international competitiveness in terms of Quality and Cost. You would
be delighted to know due to these processes and investment, we have received
many accolades in recognition of our path breaking initiatives. We have
been adjudged best vendor of Maruti and were awarded with the following
awards for the year 2006-08:
|
Best Quality Trophy |

VA/VE Trophy |

|
|

The strong foundation of quality, productivity
and manufacturing excellence built by your company is helping us in consistent
future growth. The Indian automobile Industry is witnessing substantial
growth in the last few years. The opportunities are unlimited, as the
automobile industry is very buoyant with a large number of new models
lined up for launch in next couple of years. This gives us ample opportunity
to capitalize on this situation. I am pleased to inform you that this
year we were successful in development of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation
& Airconditioning Systems) for customers' new projects.
Net sales during the year 2007-08 increased by 2.40% and the profit before
tax has increased by 2.77% over the previous year. Your company was able
to increase its net profit after tax to net sales ratio from 4.29% in
2006-07 to 4.32% in 2007-08.
I am thankful to the Subros team for their full dedication, our customers
and bankers for their continued support.
I thank all of you, our shareholders, for showing your faith and confidence
in us.
