The Metropolitan Group celebrates 60 years of bringing advanced technology and services to workplaces across Sri Lanka with the issue of a commemorative stamp showcasing the corporate head office signifying the growth and the values that had been the pillars of Metropolitan’s growth : Trust and Excellence.
This commemorative stamp was issued in recognition of the companies achievements over the past 60 years by the Post Master General Ranjith Ariyarathne.
“This stamp could not have been more timely and it represents the values and confidence that customers, partners have attributed to Metropolitan which are Trust and Excellence,” said J. J. Ambani.
Metropolitan commenced its business in 1958 by the late J. S. Ambani, with its primary focus on Office Machines and Supplies. To date, it remains a closely controlled entity.
Many reputed companies in Sri Lanka including blue chips were in the same business. However, with due focus and the realizations of its potential enabled Metropolitan to establish its dominant position in this space within a relatively short period of time.
With the advancement of electronics in this field and more over the liberalization that took place in 1977, Metropolitan adapted to the changes and challenges and maintained its dominant position inter alia in the field of Office and Banking Machines, Telecommunications and IT products and solutions.
One of the key factors that could be attributed to Metropolitan’s success is its partnership with the very best of international organizations in their respective fields. For example, Canon Inc. Japan, Johnson Controls, USA, Ericsson AB of Sweden, Acer Inc., ROC.
The Group also specialize in public private partnerships in technology projects and have also been entrusted with the production for smart card driving license for the Department of Motor Traffic for the past 10 years which can be regarded as one of the best public/private sector partnerships in the country, and been printing the national budget for almost 10 years.
