ABOUT COMPANY:
Yug Decor Ltd. (YDL) was engaged in mere trading of Laminates and Plywood. In the year 2006, the Company acquired a manufacturing Unit (Unit I) of Water Based Adhesive from Karan Adhesives Private Limited and also commenced the activity of Rubber Solution/Adhesive i.e., PVA Based Adhesive, PVA Based Binder, Resin Solution and Rubber Adhesives for the wood and footwear industry at Santej.

YDL is a young and dynamic organization manufacturing different kinds of adhesives – Synthetic Binders, Synthetic Rubber Adhesives, Synthetic Resin Adhesives, Natural Rubber Adhesives, Footwear Adhesives – under the brand name of YUG–COL. 

The Company leads with a vision of being the forerunner of inspiring décor and partnering with consumers to transform their living space through an interior design book of interior designers and architects, which can help them either hire services or gain inspiration for their design concepts. This initiative is being presented under the brand name 'Yug-Designs'. Its presence in the business for more than two decades has aided it in creating a strong brand image coupled with industry experience. Its brand is well received by the market, and the company aims to continue to further strengthen its brand by supplying qualitative products at competitive prices across the globe.

In line with this vision, during the current year, the Company has also commenced its expansion into the Plywood and Block Board segment. This diversification represents a significant strategic development as it enables the Company to move beyond adhesives into value-added wood products, thereby creating a more integrated portfolio within the furniture, carpentry, and construction ecosystem. The Plywood and Block Board division has witnessed a strong response from the market within its first year of operations and has already contributed more than 20% of the Company’s total revenue in FY 2025. 

This demonstrates not only the acceptance of Yug Decor’s products in a competitive segment but also highlights the scalability and growth potential of the business. The addition of Plywood and Block Boards to the Company’s product portfolio is expected to further enhance margins, diversify revenue streams, and reduce dependence on any single product category. With this development, YDL is positioned to leverage its brand strength, distribution network, and technical expertise to capture a larger share of the woodworking and furniture industry, both in domestic and export markets. The expansion underlines the Company’s focus on sustainable growth, market diversification, and long-term value creation for its stakeholders. As of October 31, 2025, it had 112 employees on its payroll.
