For Marico, going global is more than a means of opening up new avenues of growth. In roughly 13 months, between January 2010 and February 2011, fast moving consumer goods company Marico has snapped up four international acquisitions which include brand Code 10 (Malaysia), Derma Rx (in Singapore via wholly-owned subsidiary Kaya Ltd), Ingwe in South Africa, and an 85 per cent stake in International Consumer Products Corporation (ICP) of Vietnam. Thats one new addition every three months or so. For Marico which started its journey as Bombay Oil Industries in a traditional commodity-driven business going global is not just a means of opening up new avenues of growth but also an opportunity for cross-border learning. That, in part, explains the shopping spree, and the amazing growth of its International Business Group (IBG). With a footprint in West Asia, North Africa, South Africa, Bangladesh, Malaysia and now Vietnam, the division has grown from Rs 96 crore in 2004-05 to Rs 734 crore in 2010-11. Today, Maricos international business fetches almost a quarter of the groups revenues estimated at Rs 3,300 crore for 2010-11, thanks to a judicious mix of organic (two-thirds of the IBGs revenues) and inorganic growth. The Mumbai-headquartered company started off by exporting its flagship coconut oil Parachute brand across the subcontinent and in West Asia in the early 1990s, though its real foray as a serious investor overseas happened more recently, in 2000 in Bangladesh, when it set up a manufacturing facility for Parachute oil just outside capital Dhaka. Bangladesh brings in the lions share of IBGs revenues at over 50 per cent, with West Asia (currently present in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, Yemen, Sudan and the Levant region) bringing in another 30 per cent. The balance is contributed by the other geographies where Marico has a footprint, namely, Egypt, South Africa, Malaysia and Vietnam. These acquisitions have also brought more than six new brands under the Marico umbrella, significantly adding to the companys international offerings that comprised only one brand (Parachute) till about 2005. However, the companys revenue mix is still extremely dependent on Parachute (hair care) and Saffola (edible oil), its top grossers, which together bring in close to 60 per cent of Maricos overall revenues.
