It gives me tremendous pleasure to present to you our Annual Report for the Financial
Year March 31st 2024.
Sealmatic succeeded in increasing its turnover by around 18% to INR 728 million. This
shows that the demand for Sealmatic products is very strong and is being driven by the
markets in Europe, North America and India.
It was also particularly pleasing that our international business
not only developed well in times of limited travel opportunities but also delivered a
very satisfactory contribution to our profits.
Despite a global environment characterized by uncertainty, Sealmatic has delivered
robust financial results across all product categories and geographies and is
well-positioned for growth in the coming year and beyond. For 2024 - 2025, Sealmatic
expects year-on-year organic order intake growth of 20%, which shall lead to efficient
operational profitability.
At Sealmatic, we have a clear purpose as an organization, it is to provide our
customers with state-of-the-art solutions to help solve their most critical sealing needs
across key global markets. Our continuous investment into research & development
drives our commitment to keep evolving our capabilities as a sealing technology leader.
Sealmatic delivered strong order growth throughout 2023 - 2024, with order intake up by
24% compared to the period in 2022 - 2023. The order intake for the year 2023 - 2024 stood
at INR 866 million.
As I reflect on the business development throughout 2023 - 2024, I am reminded of the
challenges that have confronted our world in the recent past. However, I am heartened to
see how well we have withstood these challenges. As we prepare to fully embrace fhe
numerous opportunities ahead, I am pleased to present both our annual results for 2023 -
2024 and our outlook for 2024-2025.
In the recent years, there has been a turmoil and especially in 2023, with events
triggering the energy crisis particularly in Europe, global geopolitical unrest, inflation
and climate change. Sealmatic is well-positioned with the needed technology for ever
changing global trends and increasing importance of energy and water security. As a
company, we design and manufacture critical mechanical seals for our customers, and our
sealing technologies help enhance much- needed resilience to external challenges.
In the Middle East, Europe, Russia and USA, we are currently expanding our business to
support various OEMs and End Users. Sealmatic's innovation is contributing to the
development of high-end sealing technologies by providing robust mechanical seals for
nuclear, defence, marine and many other critical applications. We have also installed and
commissioned mechanical seals for traditional end users by increasing efficiency and
lifespan of fheir equipment, and we continue to adapt our sealing solutions to provide
higher value addition for our customers.
We have commissioned state of the art test rigs at our research and development centre
in Thane and most recently launched two new solutions for gas seal technologies to help
end users in the sterile markets (pharma and food) to leverage their competitive edge in
clean manufacturing.
Our global markets (export to 53 countries) have demonstrated a longevity alongwith
year on year growth and they will remain essential - even as new markets will emerge in
the future.
Together with our new regional heads in India, Middle East, Europe and USA, we have
created a strategy, "2028 and beyond" to ensure we continue to meet customer
needs and expectations as we maximize our long-term growth potential. Sealmatic operates
in essential, growing and evolving markets that are gaining significance, thanks to
increasing global needs.
Sealmatic's products, solutions and services are uniquely positioned to meet evolving
global needs and pave the way for a global sustainable growth. Ourinnovative engineering
capabilities are critical to enabling new and evolved offerings of products and services
in many demanding markets, focusing on efficiency improvements and the reduction of
emissions. Together with our customers we will lead the transformation to a safe
environment and drive sustainable & profitable growth.
We will strengthen our product offerings in critical applications at Sealmatic. We will
continue to invest in research and development (R&D) for particularly demanding API
682, Nuclear, Marine and other high-pressure/temperature/speed applications. In this
manner, we will create long lasting value for our shareholders, employees and global
communities alike.
To exploit the value proposition that Sealmatic has and to add further, our Sealmatic
2028 Vision has pivotal philosophy aimed at growing the company profitably, while making
it more robust, more structured and more nimble: focused profitable growth and operational
efficiency. Sealmatic's experienced leadership will drive performance improvements through
operational excellence. This will enable us to increase efficiency, strengthen our
customer focus and grow more profitably.
I would like to extend great appreciation and thanks to you, our shareholders, for all
of your support, and to our employees, customers and partners, without whom none of our
achievements would be possible.
