Overwiev of the main activities

 

 

Trade

 

 

The activity of the MPF group shows changes, as the market requirements are changing also. The tendecy of pushing the trade is turning back again, so MPF Group started to focus on more and more on the production. The numbers show also a decisive move in the share of profit coming from the production. Regarding the export markets of the Group, after two years of stagnation there was a massive sales increase. The DIY markets and the market of abrasives did not showed recession in 2010. The branded items had massive sales, specially the Rhino brand.

The domestic market in sales showed slight increase thanks to the broader sortiment (including the products made for Henkel).

 

Production

 

In 2010 MPF Holding LLC owned MPF Building Chemical factory had a complete year. This pushed up the production volume in Hungary. The tool accessoires and abrasives production the Group went on its way, focusing partly on the high quality tailor made products, partly to the sales action products. The flexible domestic production lines gives possibility in our market to fight against the mass production of the far east.   

The Group kept the other –smaller volume – production lines also, like MPF Félegyháza Kft metal construction and wrought iron products (fence elements, ornaments).  

The weakening HUF gave more chance to the hungarian production basis to use its assets.  Regarding the chinese company, the Group did not changed its receipt:  the best system for central quality assurance and purchase must be the Meta-Widenta China Ltd.  Its role is decisive , this company is the biggest supplier of MPF Holding Zrt.

 

Real estate management

 

The biggest real estate management company in the group is MPF Baja Kft. The one year ago laid rules to use this site are unchanged. MPF Baja Kft still rents its buildings, warehouses and and works, and works as a kind of an industry park. The services and prices offered by MPF Baja are still competitive, so the whole industry park operates with an outstandingly high utilisation ratio.

 

Logistics

 

Due to the stagnant domestic market the logistic activity of the Group concentrates on the inter company logistic services and client supply. The Ráckeresztúr located central site is perfectly fits to the requirements of a modern logistic center. More buildings and warehouses can be build on the area, so the whole logistics of the group can be managed from here.   

 

Financial valuation of the year 2010

 

The management of the Group is still not convinced that the recession will be over very soon. But regardless this, the strong financial situation of the Group enables the entity to enter into new fields of activity. In the current situation this activity will be in the field of production, also new investment is probable.    

The payment ability of our clients are the same since years. The high logistic standards of the standard supply and specially in case of mass product trade action makes the logistic very expensive. The long payment period and the costly logistic puts the barrier high in this segment of the market. The execution of all activity or trade action also require relatively huge stocks. So  the strong financial basis is a must when supplying hypermarkets. The most important costumers are multinational companies like OBI, Hornbach,  Praktiker, Auchan, Tesco, Spar, so our receivables are  safe, so we do not need to count losses on this field.

The Group succeded to manage to reduce the long term debts, meanwhile the strategic plan to reduce the trade debtor liabilities was also succesfull. 

 

Financial indicators at 2009

MPF Group could reach 13,5 % profit on sales (before taxation). EBITDA margin ratio is more tha 16%, thanks to the growing weight of the higher profitable production activity.
