- The conviction that long-term relationships are more important than short-term partnerships.
- Market troughs are temporary; enduring businesses are built for the long-term.
- Enduring businesses are built when every decision keeps the company’s long-term interest in mind.
- Sustainability is derived when a business successfully answers the question ” Is our business strategy good for all our stakeholders? “
BMWIL is also not your usual material provider. Over the years, we have taken pains to create a fundamentally different kind of steel company.
In fact, it is the kind of company that much of India’s steel industry is not.
So that brings us to the next logical question. What are most steel companies like? The answer: Focused on longs or flats. Largely debt-heavy. Driven by tangible investments. Suffering from high receivables. Marked by low revenue visibility. Focused on manufacturing. Dismissed for weak credit rating.Vulnerable to market cycles.
Now this is what BMWIL is soon becoming. Focused on longs and flats.Progressively debt-light.Intangible investment-driven.Low on receivables.
High revenue visibility. Manufacturing cum marketing-focused.Strong and improving credit rating.Profitable across market cycles.
We believe that we are different not only for difference’s sake. We are different because this has helped service the needs of our customers more predictably. And that has helped us kick-start a virtuous cycle of revenue and profit growth, making it possible for us to reinvest in our capacities, people and technologies.
At BMWIL, we believe that we are in business to enhance value.
This journey does not end in increased profits; it extends to enhancing value for all our stakeholders. At our company, this focus is derived from a carefully-derived strategic blueprint that enhances corporate predictability and sustainability.
