Investment Thesis

Leadership in Technology

It is the only company in Asia, and one of only 4 globally, that can manufacture quartz sinks using Schock Technology. This unique capability has allowed Carysil to develop over 150 models, catering to various market segments and customer preferences.

Expansion into the Bath Segment

Carysil's foray into the bath segment represents a strategic and synergetic expansion. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Carysil GmbH, in Germany, the company is leveraging its quartz technology to offer a comprehensive range of bathroom products. With over 60 showrooms and SIS locations showcasing their products, Carysil is well-positioned to introduce a complete suite of bathroom solutions, including fittings, WCs, and other accessories.

Positive Outlook for Volume Growth

The FY24 volume of granite sinks (a sub-segment of non-stainless-steel sinks) increased by 10% from 5.13 lakh to 5.64 lakh units and steel sinks grew by 12% from 1.08 lakh to 1.21 lakh units. The company achieved an all-time high volume of 6.5 lakh+ units, reflecting strong market demand. Carysil is confident in maintaining this growth trajectory, projecting a further increase of 15-25% in the coming years.

Sustainable Margins

With a steady capacity utilization of ~75%, Carysil is likely to maintain its EBITDA margins at ~18-20% for the next 3 years.

Diverse Product Portfolio

The in-house manufacturing of sinks, surfaces, chimneys, hobs, hob-tops, and food waste disposers further diversifies Carysil's product portfolio and strengthens its market position.

Market Expansion Through Strategic Acquisitions

Carysil has strategically expanded its market reach with key acquisitions, securing a 100% stake in Homestyle Product Limited and Tickford Orange Limited. Specifically, Homestyle Product Limited, a UK-based distribution company, provides an established channel for Carysil's sinks, while Tickford Orange Limited, brings expertise in the UK solid surface market and The Tap Factory's products.
