Seshasayee Paper And Boards Ltd

About the Company :

Seshasayee Paper and Boards Limited (SPB), the flagship company belonging to ‘ESVIN GROUP’, operates an integrated pulp, paper and paper board Mill at Pallipalayam, Erode-638 007, District Namakkal, Tamilnadu, India.

SPB, incorporated in June 1960, was promoted by Seshasayee Brothers (Pvt) Limited in association with a foreign collaborator M/s Parsons and Whittemore, South East Asia Inc., USA. After commencement of commercial production, having fulfilled their performance guarantee obligations, the foreign collaborators withdrew in 1969. Main promoters of the Company as on date are a group of companies belonging to
the ESVIN group headed by Mr. N Gopalaratnam.

SPB commenced commercial production in December 1962, on commissioning a 20000 tpa integrated facility, comprising a Pulp Mill and two Paper Machines (PM-1 and PM-2), capable of producing, writing, printing, kraft and poster varieties of paper.

The plant capacity was expanded to 35000 tpa in 1967-68, by modification of PM-2 and addition of a third Paper Machine (PM-3). The cost of the expansion scheme, at Rs 34 Millions, was part financed by All India Financial Institutions (Rs 31 Millions).

In the second stage of expansion, undertaken in 1976, capacity was enhanced to 55000 tpa, through addition of a 60 tpd new Paper Machine (PM-4). Cost of the project, including cost of a Chemical Recovery Boiler and other facilities for enhanced requirement of utilities, was estimated at Rs. 176 Millions. The same was part financed by term loans from Institutions and Banks to the extent of Rs. 145 Millions and the
balance out of internal generation.

SPB undertook various equipment balancing and modernisation programmes, since then, for improving its operating efficiency, captive power generation capacity, etc., upto 1992-93. Expansion / Modernisation Project

The Company embarked on an Expansion / Modernisation Project to enhance its production capacity from 60000 tonnes per annum, to 1,15,000 tonnes per annum and to upgrade some of the existing facilities, at an estimated cost of Rs 1890 millions. The said Expansion / Modernisation Project was completed in December 2000. After successful trials, the Commercial Production out of the new Paper Machine commenced on July 1, 2000. The current installed capacity of the Company stands at 1,15,000 tonnes per annum.
