The Woollens Division has a pioneering statusas an exporter of Woollen Carpet Yarn and has receivedCertiticate of Merit from the ''Wool & Woollens ExportPromotion Council'' of the Government of India for differentproducts for three continuous years from 1991 to 1993.For synergy of operations and also to reduce costs as wellas to integrate the activities of textile industry it wasconsidered prudent by both the Companies to vest theWoollen Yarn Division of MWL in MTIL amongst others forthe following reasons:a) MWL had two divisions namely the Woollen Yarn Divisionand a 100% EOU Terry Towel Division. For its 100% EOUthere were proposals from foreign buyers to participate inthe financial and technical collaboration provided theCompany''s activities are confined to Terry Towelmanufacturing activities. The Foreign collaboration isexpected to give a big boost to the growth of thisactivity.b) The Terry Towel Division of MWL is located at Ahmedabadand the Woollen Yarn Division is located at Bhilwara. MTILis also located at Bhilwara which is engaged inter-alia inthe manufacture of synthetic yarns. Both the manufacturingfacilities i.e. the Woollen Yarn Division of MWL and theSynthetic Yarn Division of MTIL having somewhat a commoncustomer base and somewhat similarity of operations and ifcombined under a common umbrella would result in anefficient management and coordination synergy inoperations greater competitive strengths and othereconomic benefits and therefore it would be advantageousif the Woollen Yarn Division of MWL is vested into MTIL.c) MTIL on the strength of this enlarged integratedactivities and asset base can plan for substantialexpansion by forward/backward integration which has alwaysbeen the focus of the Modern Group and would also be inline with the Government Policy of rapid industrialisation.d) MTIL will also stand to gain substantially as it willbecome a large integrated Company.e) New investments in the Terry Towel Project of MWL wouldrequire loans and other modes of funding for which expertshave suggested that its actitivities should be consolidatedin a single thrust export Company.The Company has entered into a scheme under Section 391 to394 of the Companies Act 1956 with Modern Woollens Ltd(MWL) and Suneel Textile Mills Ltd (STML) for transfer ofSTML and the Woollens Division of MWL to MTIL.
