Best Margins & Returns in the business - Operating Profit Margin (OPM) stands at 16% vs industry median at~10%; (global majors like Rexam Plc and Amcor operate at less than 9% OPM); both returns and margins have been trending up over the years in a very competitive industry
More than tripled its sales in last 5 years while earnings per share (EPS) has gone up 8x (on an adjusted basis) in the same period
Top marquee MNC clients in FMCG & Pharma space - Coke, Pepsico, Bisleri, Nestle, P&G, GlaxoSmithkline, Pfizer, Britannia, Kraft
Capacity expansion up from ~9000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) to ~22000 MTPA in FY09 and further upto ~29000 MTPA in FY10 on the back of strong long term job work contracts
Nice clean balance sheet - strengthened progressively over the years with adequate liquidity, very decent inventory and debtors management, and low debt to equity (<0.5). However FY10 D/E is slated to go up (> 1) due to fresh Term Loans for ongoing Capex .

At 150 Cr Sales Turnover in FY10 Manjushree is still a pretty small company. Execution risks are probably significant as the company tries to attain scale.
Highly competitive and fragmented industry - the unorganised sector also plays a significant hand
Raw material price volatility - PET resin the key raw material is linked to crude prices
Environmental Regulations & Compliance stipulations of Regulatory bodies on Plastics remains a concern
Entry of MNC Plastics Packaging companies in the domestic market can be a threat

While Investments in Capex may seem low; of the order of 5-10 Cr per machine, passing stringent business and quality requirements and forming successful relationships with MNC clients usually takes upwards of 2 years
