During the year ended March, 2008, net sales grew by 15 per cent and catapulted Berger into the second largest position among the paint companies in India.
Profit before tax grew even faster at the rate of 16 per cent.
Consolidated sales in 2007-08 moved to Rs 1,586 crores from Rs 1,384 crores in 2006-07.
Despite slower GDP growth and slowdown in the automotive sector, Berger said it did well because of focus on improving product mix, introducing new products and services, tackling costs at all levels and improving services to customers so as to retain its competitive edge.
