Swisstek Ceylon PLC obtained Sri Lanka Standards Institute Certification (SLS) for five of its market-leading products recently.
Among the five products affirmed by the country’s apex body for standardization are three types of tile adhesives namely Super Tile Adhesive (mortar), Super Plus Tile Adhesive (mortar) & Ultra Grip Tile Adhesive (mortar) and two types of tile grout namely Super Polymer Tile Grout & Polymer Modified Tile Grout.
Swisstek Ceylon PLC is the first brand in its market category to obtain the SLS certification which serves to illustrate the Organization’s commitment to quality. In 2015 Swisstek obtained the ISO 9001 certification for its manufacturing processes and has since invested over Rs.170 million to upgrade its facilities and as a result, in the 2020/2021 financial year, the Company’s production capacity soared by 22%.
Swisstek Ceylon PLC Managing Director J. A. P. M. Jayasekara said, “The certification serves to formalize the overwhelmingly positive feedback we consistently receive from industry experts & customers alike. In terms of what lies ahead, Swisstek intends to focus on consolidating its market position as the pioneer in innovation & quality through Research and Development. Despite the economic downturn triggered by the global pandemic, we are hopeful Swisstek Ceylon Plc will continue to be resilient as it did in the 2020/2021 financial year.”
Jayasekara further commented that the organization was prepared to face the forthcoming financial year with greater confidence based on experience & learnings from the previous year:
“We will continue to strengthen our operating model by driving greater efficiencies, strengthening our distribution channels while exploring new growth opportunities in the ‘new normal’.”
