Elcardo Chairman Athula Rohan Weeraratne in his speech expressed his intention of opening a branch factory with state-of-the-art machinery in the Atchuvely Industrial Estate in the near future, providing employment for the youth in the Jaffna District and help in the economic development of the Northern Zone.

ISO certified and winner of several awards, Elcardo stepped into the market arena of Sri Lanka in 1985.

Though they started in a simple way, they have grown rapidly to become an important contributor to Sri Lanka's economy today.

In the year 1995, Elcardo made studies on many new projects and they were confident and competent enough to venture into new areas of business, and they launched the new sphere of importing exclusive automobile accessories, specially made for 4 wheel drive luxury vehicles.

Simultaneously, Elcardo did an extensive research on roller doors and hardly found any organization or person manufacturing them locally to meet international standards.

The Managing Director of Elcardo, Athula Weeraratne, made a very important decision at that time to manufacture roller doors in Sri Lanka, to meet stringent international standards.

According to the decision, Elcardo imported a whole range of state-of-the-art machinery from technically developed countries and started manufacturing roller doors in Sri Lanka.

Elcardo Industries were recently presented with an award for 'Best Creative Products' at the National Development Exhibition.
