(L) Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths of Rushil Decor
(i) Experienced promoters and management team
RDL’s promoters bring extensive expertise in trading, manufacturing, and marketing of wood panel products. Founded by the late Mr. Ghanshyam Thakkar, with over three decades of industry experience, the company is currently led by Mr. Krupesh Thakkar, Managing Director, who boasts nearly two decades of experience in the wood panel industry. Additionally, Mr. Rushil Thakkar, son of Mr. Krupesh Thakkar, has also joined the company. Supported by a team of seasoned professionals, they effectively manage the company’s day-to-day operations.
(ii) Geographically diversified business operations
Exports contributed ~30% to the total sales in Q3FY24. Moreover, RDL has a presence in the export market in its laminates and MDF segments. Its major export destinations are Bangladesh, China, Middle East countries, the US and also European markets.
Weaknesses of Rushil Decor
(i) Susceptibility of operating margin to raw material price fluctuation
RDL’s production costs are largely influenced by raw material expenses, constituting approximately 50% of overall costs. While base paper and kraft paper are sourced locally for laminates, high-quality papers are imported from Europe and the US. Key chemicals like phenol and methanol, crucial for laminate production, are primarily imported from China and the USA, with their prices heavily impacting operational margins due to their variability as crude oil derivatives. Additionally, for MDF manufacturing, wood, resin, and wax are essential, with wood typically sourced from natural forests, posing a risk of price increases due to inadequate supply.
(ii) Intense competition and the cyclical nature of the wood-panel industry
The decorative laminate industry is highly competitive due to the presence of many unorganized players along with large established players. Further, the industry is also exposed to threats from cheap imports from China, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Moreover, the market is intensively competitive as larger players in the industry are quite aggressive in taking part in the demand.
