tie-ups in foreign countries.
All three private limited Companies are manufacturing dies, extruders,
fabricated parts, die assembly, screen changers, take-off assembly,
roll stack assembly, air rings, calibration baskets, and winder
assembly to be used for plastic processing machineries.
Hence, after merger, Rajoo will be able to cater all such parts &
components in-house through manufacturing facilities present in three
private limited companies. Further, the post-merger synergy will help
REL to bargain at various cost centers such as cost of raw material,
cost of labour, and cost of other manufacturing & administrative
