Menon Bearings Oct'20 presentation:

  • MBL is one of the leading manufacturers of highly critical moving engine components that operate in high temperatures & pressures inside demanding engines with high payloads & reliability. These products have long & highly collaborative development cycles, and also require rigorous testing & validation before it ca be fit inside assemblies of critical applications.
  • A limited number of players operate in this segment which has very high entry barriers due to the nature of the components.
  • Our competitors include - Federal Mogul, KSPG (formerly Kirloskar Bearings), Bimetal Bearings
  • MBL has a major share of business with marquee global OEMS. However, No single customer contributes more than 10 to 12% of MBL’s business
  • Clients -
  • MBL exports 30% of its production
  • MBL has an office in Indianapolis which manages warehousing in the U S A to service customers in & around the USA region since the last 20 years.
  • MBL is among the very few companies to have facilities to produce next generation lead free material to produce next generation parts
  • Sales - 49.33% OEM, Exports - 36.90%, Replacement market - 6.57%, Electrical business - 1.04%, other - 6.16%
  • Products - bearing, bush, washer
  • Applications - Heavy commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles, construction equipment, tractor, material handling (excavators), stationary engines, diesel engines, gasoline engines, CNG engines
  • Diversification - Since 2010 , MBL has diversified from Engine Bearings (Crank Shaft Parts) to bi-metal parts required for drive Train Transmission, Differential gear, Brake, Steering, Suspension, Axles, etc.
  • Aluminium division - In 2008 MBL Strategically Diversified into a new product segment with huge potential, namely Finished Critical Aluminium Die Cast Components. This aluminium division named Alkop contributes about 25% of the top line & balance 75% is contributed by Bimetal products ( ie. engine bearings, bushes & thrust washers). Alkop supplies to world leaders like Honeywell & Eaton.
  • Capacity expansion - Planned Bi-metal Capacity Expansion...3 mn. pcs p.m. to 5 mn pcs p.m. by 2021. MBL has a healthy order book position of Bimetal parts & aluminium castings orders in pipe line from domestic & global customers
  • Projections -
  • Assumption for guidance - Before the downturn in Automobile Industries & Covid-19 effect, we clocked a total turnover of Rs176 Cr. in the year 2019 i.e. Rs. 132 Cr in Bearing Division and Rs44 Cr.in Alkop ( Al Casting Division ). We expect normalization in 2021 & 2022. Hence the projected turnover is Rs. 150 Cr. and Rs. 56 Cr. respectively in Bearing and Alkop.
  • farm sector demand already gathering traction, exports already gathering traction, increased infra spending by govt. to boost demand
  • EV challenge - MBL caters mainly to the heavy segment like Mines (Earth Moving), marine Engines, Tractors, LCV, HCV etc. & hence is reasonably less challenged. MBL's engineering skills & setup can be adapted to make EV parts when required
