Maharashtra and Rajasthan.
Established operations and experienced promoters in polymer trading and plastic products business: Signet has
established operations of over two decades in polymer trading and has also established a strong foothold in the plastic
products business, including MIS, with over four decades of experience of its principal promoter in the business.
The company had earlier envisaged buying out the engineering division of one of its group concerns; however, it has now
shelved this acquisition plan.
Steady demand outlook for the plastic pipes industry; albeit with intense competition: Demand outlook for the Indian
plastic pipes is expected to be steady with increased government spending in construction & infrastructure sectors
alongwith thrust on the agriculture sector and focus on MIS; by way of higher targeted production and improved
productivity through greater availability of credit. However, the industry remains exposed to high competition and limited
pricing power; on account of fragmentation in the industry which can put pressure on its profitability margins.
