Silicone Coatings of the Nippolac Group of Companies, manufacturer
and distributor of 'Nippolac' and 'Vernon' paints, a truly Sri Lankan
company, has achieved yet another milestone by entering into the Indian
paint market and exporting its first consignment of paints to India
recently.
The company has grown into a leading producer and supplier of top
quality specialised coatings for decorative paints, industrial
applications and automotive finishes in Sri Lanka since 1979.
The expansion into India was preceded by its first export to the
Maldives last year. The Nippolac product range has constantly progressed
to exceed the expectations of the Sri Lankan customers and the standards
of the industry. The move into the export market re-assures the
excellence in the quality of the Nippolac Product Range that is being
accepted by the global markets.
Acclaiming their high quality, the SLS Product Certification Mark was
granted to Nippolac Enamel, Emulsion, and Weather-proof paints by the
Sri Lanka Standards Institution.
It is significant that Silicone Coatings is the first Sri Lankan
Paint Manufacturing Company to have obtained both the SLS Product
Certification Mark (2002) and the ISO 9001: 2000 Quality Management
System Certification (2004) from the Sri Lanka Standards Institution.
Entering the overseas market is an endeavour to expand the horizons for
Nippolac Paints whilst strengthening its local distributional network in
Sri Lanka.
Commenting on this achievement, the Chairman and Managing Director of
Silicone Coatings said, "It has been a dream for our company to reach
the overseas market with our Nippolac Product Range as we can proclaim
that our products are manufactured to international standards and they
confer to the highest quality levels mandatory in the paints industry.
We are focussed in providing innovative solutions, service and
quality for our customers with a passionate commitment. We believe that
our commitment to quality, high service levels, innovations,
affordability coupled with genuine effort to contribute to the local
economy has taken us to the current position we hold today in the Sri
Lankan Coatings Market.
Entering into the overseas markets, has provided us with the
opportunity to widen our customer base in the Asian market. |
