TRF, a Tata Steel arm specialising in material handling systems, is targeting the merger and aquisition (M&A) route in a bid to notch up a five-fold revenue growth of Rs 2,500 crore by the calender year 2013. The company is actively looking at a couple of possible foreign acquisition targets and expects to finalise a deal in the current year 2009-10.

Earlier in October 2007, TRF Singapore, a wholly-owned subsidiary of TRF, had acquired a 51% stake in Singapore-based York Transport Equipment, a material handling company at a cost of around Rs 50 crore. Cost of acquisition is a key issue since TRF would need to service the York acquisition and also maintain a 1:1 debt equity ratio.

In terms of organic growth, TRF has recently entered into a three-way joint venture (JV) with Tata Capital and Jasper Industries to manufacture automotive components in Lucknow. TRF will have a 51% stake in the JV — Adithya Automotive Applications (P) — while the two other partners Jasper and Tata Capital will hold 29% and 20% stakes, respectively.

The move also coincides with a conscious shift in the company’s plan to increase the share of material handling business in its overall revenues. So far, TRF’s mainstay has been bulk material handling, which caters to steel, coal and mining sectors. Now it wants to de-risk its business from cyclical fluctuations.

 

TRF had recorded a 62% rise in standalone revenue to Rs 531.65 crore in 2008-09, which it expects to touch Rs 750-800 crore in 2009-10. On a consolidated basis, the company is poised to cross revenues of Rs 1,000 crore this year with its subsidiary, York, contributing nearly Rs 200-250 crore.crackcrack
