It gives me great pleasure to introduce the Dempo Group of
Companies. The Group is engaged in myriad business activities and has been in
the forefront of industrialization of the small State of Goa. The present Group
turnover exceeds Rs. 12000 million and Assets under use exceed RS 5000 million.
We are one of the pioneers in iron ore mining in Goa and our flagship company,
V.S. Dempo and Company Pvt Ltd was established by my grandfather in 1941. Subsequently,
we ventured into other industries. Goa Carbon Ltd a public limited company listed
on the Bombay Stock Exchange is the second largest Calciner of petroleum coke
in the country and supplies vital raw material to the Aluminium industry in India
and abroad. Aparant Iron and Steel, engaged in manufacture of Pig Iron is the
preferred supplier for the foundry industry. Other group companies include Dempo
Shipbuilding & Engineering as well as Dempo Industries, which publishes the
foremost English daily from Goa – The Navhind Times.
The Dempo name evokes trust worldwide. Our commitment to Quality is also renowned.
All our production companies are certified for ISO 9001 by well known certification
agencies. Our long association with Nippon Steel of Japan, one of the largest
steel producers in the world, for over fifty years stands testimony to our product
quality and business ethics.
We are committed to sustainable development. Our Mining companies are certified
for ISO 14001 and we are founder members of Mineral Foundation of Goa, set up
specifically to take up environment management projects.
We also contribute to the social development of our community. We have set
up educational institutions and provided the people of Goa a medium to voice their
views freely through our newspapers set up immediately after the liberation of
Goa.
Let me once again welcome you to take an enlightening round of the Dempo Group
over the next few pages.
Yours Sincerely
Shrinivas V.Dempo
