Skipper Limited informs that as a part of cost reduction initiative and optimization of capacity utilization in the markets where the Company holds strong foothold, the Board at its meeting has decided to shift the manufacturing facility of the Company situated at Plot No - 5, UPSIDC, Industrial Area, G.T Road No - 91, Sikandrabad, District Bulandshahar- 203206, Uttar Pradesh to NH6, Madhabpur, Post: Uluberia, Howrah - 711303, West Bengal by transfer of plant and machinery and other accessories probably within 31st December, 2018.

The said plant belongs to the polymer division of the Company and is based on an asset-light model wherein the land and building has been taken on lease and the plant and machineries belong to the Company.
