Quote:
Sah said that the company’s focus on specialty industrial lubricants will ensure steady operating profit margins around 23%.
"We are in the markets since the last 30 years. Everybody has both strengths and weaknesses. Our marketing line up is strong with one to one customary relationship. We have got very specialised product for the customers. Timely deliveries and after sales service which is our very strong point and because of which we are able to compete with any other lubricant company in India today. We are confident about our products and our services," he said.
Talking about Sah Petroleum's expansion plan, he said ,"For the expansion of the company we are putting Rs 28 crore (Rs 280 million). On the sale expansion of the company we have got two plants one in Daman and the other is in Varsa. We have some working capital gaps. For that this IPO will be helpful. We want to open branches in India and abroad. We want to build the brand image of the company, that is what the IPO is for."
Talking about his company's strengths, he said "We are in the market since the last 30 years. Everybody has both strengths and weaknesses. Our marketing line up is strong with one to one customary relationship. We have got very specialised product for the customers. Timely deliveries and after sales service is our very strong point and because of which we are able to compete with other finance companies in India today. We are confident about our products and our services."
He also said, "The lubricant industrial markets is of two types. Either you offer the product off the shelf or you give the product. Normally the companies give the product what is off the shelf or what is their in the product marketing range. Today is the time when everybody wants higher productivity in the same oil, better finish, far better life for the tools, that is the place where our company is giving products. Our engineers go to the market. They study the requirements of the customers and we are able to solve the problems of the customers."
When asked about his clients, he said, "We are not in the bazaar trade(selling to retail investors). Bazaar trade is basically in the automobile grade. We are in industrial oil and industrial oil is supplied to all the big corporate house like Telco, Bajaj Auto, Bajaj Tempo, Road Transport Corporation, Hero group, etc. These are few of our larger clients."

Mumbai-based specialty industrial lubricants company Sah Petroleum plans to enter the automobile lubricants industry in the next two years.
The company’s products, which are marketed under the brandname IPOL, cater to clients such as Goodyear, Ceat, Tata Motors, Bridgestone and Eicher.
“We are the producer of a wide range of specialty industrial lubricants, rubber processing oils and grease.
