In order to meet long-term rubber requirements, tyre maker MRF, is scouting for acquisition of rubber estates abroad. The company has also sent team to Malaysia, Indonesia Vietnam, and Cambodia to scout for potential acquisitions in this regard.  Although, the prices of rubber have cooled off both in the global and domestic markets, but long term supply of rubber seems to be a big concern for the company. The company, which uses 12-13 tonnes of rubber a month from plantations in the north-east and Kerala, would require 30-40% more of rubber in three to four years.

On standalone basis, the company has posted a rise of 352.46% in its net profit at Rs 144.56 crore for third quarter ended June 30, 2012 as compared to Rs 31.95 crore for the same quarter in the previous year. Total income has increased by 16.55% at Rs 3011.89 crore for quarter under review as compared to Rs 2584.15 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2011.

MRF (Madras Rubber Factory) is India’s No.1 tyre manufacturing company. Currently, the company exports tyres to over 65 countries including America, Europe, Middle East, Japan, and the Pacific region.
