About the Company

The Karnataka based, Zenith Die Makers Private Limited (ZDMPL) was established as a proprietorship firm in 1985 by Mr. Vishwanath Sanil and the constitution was changed into private limited company in 1996. The company is engaged in manufacturing of tools and dies for printing and packaging industry.

Non-cooperation by the issuer/borrower:

Acuité has been requesting for data, information and undertakings from the rated entity for conducting surveillance & review of the rating. However, the issuer/borrower failed to submit such information before the due date.

This rating is, therefore, being flagged as “Issuer not-cooperating”, in line with prevailing SEBI regulations and Acuité’s policies.

Limitation regarding information availability:

The rating is based on information available from sources other than the issuer/borrower (in the absence of information provided by the issuer/borrower). Acuité endeavored to gather information about the entity/industry from the public domain. Therefore, Acuité cautions lenders and investors regarding the use of such information, on which the indicative credit rating is based.
