Dankotuwa bags another Gold, enters Mumbai
Dankotuwa continued its winning streak of export awards by winning a
Gold Award at the National Chamber of Exporters (NCE) Awards ceremony
held recently.
Dankotuwa has consistently won awards for exports since 1989 and has
an award under its belt almost every year since 1989.

It won the pinnacle of NCE awards in 1996, 1997 and in 2004 when it
won the “Sri Lanka’s Most Outstanding Exporter of the Year” award for
three years.
Dankotuwa is perhaps the only company that has won this topmost award
thrice and is the only tableware company that has won the most number of
export awards. In 2005 it also won the top award “Sri Lankan Exporter of
the Year” under the Presidential Export Awards Scheme.
Although facing severe competition from many overseas producers in
Bangladesh, Indonesia and China, Dankotuwa has always responded quickly
to changing market demands and has won back the markets.
With the more recent and more severe downturn in the traditional
markets of Europe and USA and the turnaround in those markets taking
time, the Company is now focusing on the Asian region and has been
making steady inroads into India.
Recently the company signed an agreement for an Agent in the
Maharashtra and Goa areas of India, and therefore Dankotuwa products
which are already available in the South and in the Northern States of
India will now be available in Mumbai and other western areas of India
as well. |
