KCT Trading Private Ltd (“KCT
Trading” or the “Company”) is an independent
paper merchanting company which was previously a
division of Karam Chand Thapar & Bros. (C.S.)
Ltd; a company incorporated under the Indian
Companies Act of 1913.
Karam Chand Thapar & Bros. (C.S.) Ltd is a part
of the Thapar Group (the “Group”), a premier
industrial house, comprising 35 companies and 65
manufacturing plants, with both a strong
national and international presence. The Group
covers a diverse range of industries including:
paper, engineering, electrical, electronics,
telecommunications, textiles, man-made fibres,
glass, bio-technology, aquaculture, construction
and chemicals.
To meet the challenges of a new global economy,
the Company demerged from its parent on 01
April 2006 and restructured its operations
to be a more lean and flexible organisation with
distinct leadership and an entrepreneurial
culture.
Prior to the demerger, the Company had been in
paper merchanting for over 60 years. It
initially carried sole distributorship for
Ballarpur Industries Limited (“BILT”), a
subsidiary of the Group. However, under the
direction of its current Managing Director, Mrs
Priya Saran Chaudhri, the Company followed a
rigorous plan to:
- Diversify its supplier base with other
leading paper manufacturers both
domestically and internationally;
- Grow its top line figure with an
integrated marketing plan and customer
orientated approach; and
- Grow its bottom line through rigorous
receivables management and lean business
practices.
Today, the Company distributes paper for both
domestic and international paper manufacturers.
Domestic suppliers include: BILT, TNPL, Naini
Tissues Ltd., Shreyans Industries Limited,
Trident and APPM and international suppliers
include: Asia Pulp & Paper and April Fine Paper.
The Company has been able to grow its top line
by adopting a fully integrated marketing plan.
Additionally, its customer centric approach is
supported by its 115 strong workforce across its
four main offices: Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai and
Chennai as well as its ten smaller satellite
offices and warehouses at Secunderabad,
Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Agra, Rohtak, Yamunanagar,
Sharanpur, Meerut, Raipur and Bangalore.
