Superbrand status for Ceylon Glass

Ceylon Glass Company, was recently awarded Business Superbrand status by Superbrands Lanka.

The Superbrands programme, which currently operates in over 55 countries acknowledges a variety of categories of brands.

The latest programme in Sri Lanka, recognises those products and services which are directly marketed to other businesses through Business Superbrand.

Ceylon Glass Company commands the entire local market apart from a negligible percentage of glass imports into Sri Lanka. A public listed company, Ceylon Glass is on the threshold of transforming it’s traditional manufacturing skills to gear themselves to meet global demands.

Despite the high cost of utilities and the lack of cheap fuel sources in Sri Lanka, Ceylon Glass has built on a history of over 50 years to achieve distinction as a company that caters to all segments of glass containers.

Post 1999, after its takeover by the India-based Piramal Glass Ltd (a Piramal Enterprise Company), the company has been on a capacity building drive, weeding out inefficiencies and installing newer processes to optimise the utilisation of raw materials and innovating new developments.

Ceylon Glass Company put up a state of the art 250 tons per day glass manufacturing facility recently in Horana, Sri Lanka, doubling the capacity of their overall glass manufacturing, as well as that of coloured glass.

The factory can turn out bottles in a range of dimensions ranging from as small a quantity as 50 millilitres to as much as 2.5 litres.
