Maliban Biscuits has become the only food company in the world to be feted with the coveted World Class Award under the Large Manufacturing category at the Global Performance Excellence Award (GPEA) by the Asia Pacific Quality Organization (APQO) at the 22nd APQO International Conference on Quality held in Rotorua, New Zealand.
The GPEA is a much sought-after award and has cemented Maliban’s place as an internationally acclaimed company with superior performance, surpassing many other multi-national corporations.
From over 40 countries, Maliban was the only food manufacturing organisation to receive a World Class Award under all categories, and also the only Sri Lankan food company to ever have received a World Class Award.
Companies were awarded for performance excellence under the categories of large manufacturing, large service and education, not for profit, small manufacturing, small service, education and healthcare.
The Asia Pacific Quality Organization is an autonomous, non-political, non-profit, scientific and technical organization aimed at working towards the goal of achieving continuous quality improvement of goods and services.
The Global Performance Excellence Award is a prestigious award that brings together leading professional societies from the Asia-Pacific region, and is also the only form of formal international recognition of performance and business excellence.
“We have been awarded the National Quality Award thrice, which is a testament to our use of nothing but the best quality ingredients and advanced processes to ensure that our products are superior, while achieving sustainable development.
At the time of inception, family members used to taste products to monitor quality and output.
This is still practiced to this day.” Warna Fernando, General Manager - Quality Assurance and Research Development at Maliban.
