LOCATION

Factory Address:-

Block number 403/404, Sanand-viramgam highway, Charodigam, Taluka-sanand, Ahmedabad-Gujarat.

Reasons for choosing a particular locaton:The chairman Mr. Jayntibhai Patel belongs to the same village and he wanted to provide employment to the people living in his village so he decided to establish the plant in his village so he can provide employment and as well as a try to upgrade his village. All the big plants are establish there which has become a industrial area.The boundary of the plant is surronded by 3km of green belt which helps to improve environment.

16

Benefits of the Location:The location of Meghmani plant has got some of the benefits which are as follows:1) Firstly the plant is located in such area where the labours are easily available. 2) Secondly the plant is situated near a highway so raw material are easily available at any point of time and trasportation of goods from one place to other becomes easy. 3) Thirdly, the plant has got benefit of pollution free environment which makes labouer work freely. 4) The supply of water is easily available from the near by village and river. 5) Lastly they have got enough place to expand the plant in future if they want.

Limitation of Location:1) Meghmani Organics Limited is situated far from urban area so the educated employees are not easily available. 2) As the company is far away from the city area so a company need to provide transportation to the employees which increases the cost of transportation of the company.

PRODUCTION
It is said, The most authentic statement about an organisation is in the performance of its products. At Meghmani Organics Limited, they believe in their products pigments blue & green, and pesticides they are the voice of thir character, the strength of their customer focus and the yardstick of their potential. Frankly, the most eloquent statement of their commitment to customer satisfaction comes through their products.

Product Range
Pigments
The global market of Dyes and Organic Pigment industry is estimated to be at US$ 8.4 billion. They believe that out of this, the size of Organic Pigment market would be around US$ 5.5 billion. The global demand for organic pigments is expected to grow at the rate of 4.9% annually through 2008. The three major drivers of Pigment Industry are printing ink industry, paint industry and plastic industry. Global Market trends The industry is moving its production base from high cost countries to low cost countries like India and China. Indias ability to provide high quality manufacturing is also attracting a higher level of outsourcing from more companies from the developed countries. In addition, companies in the US, Europe, Central and South America, and Japan are also increasing their direct supplies of pigments from India. The Indian ink industry is also expected to consume more pigments.
18

The market is polarised in the hands of a few large Multinational groups, which are manufacturing a wide variety of printing inks through their multi-location plants worldwide. Thus such large groups include Sun and DIC, (USA and Japan); the Flint group (merged entity of Flint Inks, USA) and BASF, Germany; HUBER Group, Germany; etc. At the same time, there are a number of medium to small players worldwide.

Indian scenario In the Indian perspective, since published data relating to the market size of pigment industry is not available through official estimates, we can arrive at the estimated market size of Indian Pigment Industry based on the current market sizes of the two main end use segments namely - the ink industry and the Paint industry. The Indian Printing Ink Industry is seen augmenting its turnover on the back of a strong growth in the user industries such as Newspaper, flexible packaging, and publishing, with the present market size of Rs.12,000 millions. Further, in the year 2001 the Indian Paint Industry was estimated to be of US$ 925 million. We believe that the paint industry has grown at an annual growth rate of around 6% over last 4 5 years. Taking an average growth rate of 6%, the present market size of the paint industry would be around US$ 1,160 million. (INR 50,000 millions).

Some of the products which they produce in the category of pigments are as follows:PIGMENTS FOR PLASTICS:1) Meghafast blue BNR 810 2) Meghafast blue BK-P 828 3) Meghafast blue BK-P 828 FG 4) Meghafast green GN 787 5) Meghafast green GNP 788, etc

Agrochemicals The Agrochemical industry is a seasonal industry and being related to agricultural production, is a core industry in India. For agriculture to be commercially viable, it requires certain key inputs like seeds, fertilizers and pesticides. The Indian Agrochemicals industry is quite unique because the domestic industry itself at the end user level in 2004 was about USD 650 million market. Apart from that, global producers of agrochemicals, barring the Multinationals, which are the originators and creators of various agrochemical molecules, there is not much manufacturing of generic agrochemicals at the technical level in countries other than India and China. Presently, India and China are the two large producers of generic agrochemicals.

Production Process of MPB (Metaphenoxy benzaldehyde)

Benzaldehyde is brominated using liquid bromine in the presence of a catalyst and EDC solvent. The crude intermediate is fractionally distilled to give pure MBB. It is reacted with MEG to give Acetal. This is then condensed with phenol in the presence of alkali. The reactor mass is then hydrolysed. Distillation is carried out first to remove solvent and then purified to give product MPB.
