CNCI awards ceremony by Irangika Range The Ceylon National Chamber of Industries (CNCI) will hold the "Achiever of Industrial Excellence" awards ceremony on July 16 at the Ceylon Continental Hotel. It will offer further recognition and boost Small and Medium-scale industrialists. The ANCL is the media sponsor for the event. Director, Auscar Engineering Service (Pvt) Ltd, A. U. Joseph, the winner of the 2003 national gold award in the small category said they obtained more benefits now, such as high recognition. This would help to gain more orders. Joseph said the company had a good start. They were able to win contracts for fabrications, construction of towers and supply of antennae components for Suntel (Pvt) Ltd and Lanka Bell (Pvt) Ltd." We compete with large-scale companies in Sri Lanka, but the company has been facing challenge successfully with supplying high quality products, service and after sales service to customers. The company is not funded by any bank so far," he said. Sri Lankan manufactures have difficulties when they enter into the export market. The fluctuations of steel prices at the world market is badly affecting us," he said. He said that the lack of a trained workforce is a disturbing trend in the mechanical engineering sector. I am planing to invest in setting up more machines to improve the quality of products. |
