Syrma Technology and SGS Tekniks on Wednesday announced a merger agreement to further strengthen their design and manufacturing capabilities for global and domestic OEMs.
The cash cum stock merger will see the creation of Syrma SGS Technologies with a combined turnover of over Rs.1000 crores, with 55% revenues coming from exports primarily to USA and Europe. The deal was supported through a Private Equity investment by GEF.
“The current revenue of Syrma is over Rs 550 crore, post the merger we will have a combined revenue of Rs 1000 crore,” said Sandeep Tandon, Managing Director, Syrma Technology. “We are projecting growth between 25% to 30% year-on-year and by 2021 we aim to achieve Rs 1200 crore in revenue.”
Tandon said that with the Indian EMS market is growing at a CAGR of over 25%, there is an increase in opportunity to outsource manufacturing in consumer electronics, home appliance, mobile phones, and so on.
“Application areas such as medical electronics and defence electronics are seeing a surge leading to growth in the overall electronics sector. With Government recently announcing incentive schemes like PLI, Specs, and EMC 2.0, for developing the ecosystem, there is a bigger need for technological advancement in the EMS sector,” Tandon said.
Further, there is a huge opportunity to add IoT to a wide range of products.
“With the projected global growth of IoT products to well over US$5 Tn and the Indian IoT market keeping pace, the opportunities are quite exciting for the combined entity,” the company said in a statement.
Upon completion of this merger, Syrma SGS Technologies will have eight manufacturing facilities in India across Gurgaon, Manesar, Bawal, Baddi, Bangalore, Chennai, Bargur, and three design centre centres in Chennai, Gurgaon and Stuttgart Germany.
