Srinko wins Presidential Export Award

Srinko Enterprises Private Limited has won the Presidential Exports Award for 2007 and 2008 as being the Best Exporter for Small and Medium Enterprises.

Srinko was established in 1984 for the manufacture of stationery products, such as file folders, diaries, diary covers and promotional articles and its Chairman Wimal Rupasinghe and Managing Director Samantha Rupasinghe, with a view to exploring the market potential for quality manufacture of the said products, initially introduced them to the local market.

In the local market the Company successfully performed by manufacturing its products maintaining quality, on-time delivery and competitive price acceptable to the local market and became a market leader in this product category. After their successful entry into the local market, they decided to take their products to the export market.

From here onwards the Company tried hard to find ways on how to enter the international market. For this they sought the advice of the Export Development Board and the Commerce Department where they stressed that the key factors are competitive price, quality and appearance to enter the global market.

With these successes they found regular buyers from the UK, Japan, Italy, Canada, Mauritius Islands, Tunisia and some South African countries and random buyers from the Far East.

Their export range of products comprise clip board files, ring binders, lever arc files, tool packing cases, vehicle manual covers, vehicle insurance and packing wallets to leading stationery outlets, vehicle manufacturers and importers in Japan and Europe.

For the success of their efforts from 1991 till 2011, they have achieved significant progress in these markets and receiving the Award for the Best Exporter for the Small and Medium Enterprises at the 2011 Presidential Awards Ceremony.
