Dankotuwa supplies John Lewis of UK
Dankotuwa Porcelain recently shipped its first container of porcelain
tableware to UK’s prestigious store John Lewis.This relationship with
John Lewis was made possible by their UK Agent Fairmont and Main.
Dankotuwa, through its agent Fairmont and Main, has been supplying
many prestigious stores in UK such as Selfridges and Bhs and has been
able to command a premium price because of its superior quality and its
business model where it develops partnerships with prestigious stores
and retailers.
Dankotuwa has seen a gradual increase in demand in UK and Europe
after experiencing a significant drop in demand in 2009 and the first
half of 2010. However, the response to the removal of the GSP+
concessions is still not clear.
However, Dankotuwa’s approach of establishing very strong
relationships with its foreign customers has paid off with several of
them continuing their relationship for over a decade and some for over
two decades, the company said.
