Delmege Distributors builds up non food product portfolio

Delmege Distributors, a subsidiary of the Delmege Forsyth Group of Companies and one of Sri Lanka’s leaders in the marketing of branded packaged food products, specializing in retail and wholesale distribution and brand marketing, in a move to further expand their product portfolio to include non food product items as well, entered into an agreement with Print Xcel [a subsidiary of Ratna Book Publishers] recently.

According to CEO Delmege Distributors, Dinesh Nalliah, DDPL will exclusively distribute both single rule and square rule exercise books under the brand name Ratna exercise books.

“We hope to introduce these exercise books which will be available in 80, 120, 160 and 200 pages in time for the new school year”.

Nalliah said the exercise books are made of high quality 60 GSM paper imported from Indonesia, with a range of colourful and contemporary covers. “Delmege Distributors are keen to expand their non food products portfolio and we decided to commence this with stationery products for which there is always a demand”, he said.

Nalliah went on to say that Ratna Book Publishers had been in the publishing and printing business for over 50 years and together with DDPL were keen on expanding their product portfolio.

With its long established and reputed history, Delmege Distributors has an islandwide distributor network with comprehensive reach servicing different channels such as traditional trade, modern trade, food service, as well as non-conventional channels such as cinemas, clubs, and other outlets.

The Company represents global brands in addition to marketing many of their own and is now an accepted and favoured household name said Nalliah.
