VDML has embarked upon its goal to solely focus on promotion of its core business activity of
manufacturing & worldwide exports of Synthetic Food Colours and has thereby moved towards
withdrawing its trading arm. This has caused a drop in sales contributed by its trading arm in the second
quarter of 2015 as compared to the first quarter of 2015.
The new manufacturing facility has now become fully operational since the month of October 2015, and
this has enhanced the manufacturing capacities by an additional 125 metric tonnes per month.
Therefore the management foresees strong overall growth in the forthcoming quarters for your
company.
Announcing the results, MD/CEO of VDML stated Our concentration will be focused solely on our
core competence. Our focus is currently on making inroads into new markets and increasing our
presence in key markets such as USA and consolidating our market share in our present markets. Our
endeavor is to ensure shareholder reward remains paramount, and towards that we are pleased to
announce the second interim dividend of 20%. We will strive to sustain and improve upon the same in
the foreseeable future.
