One of the leading TV antenna manufacturers in the country, Maspro Lanka, will export its first consignment of special TV antennas to Australia shortly. The value of the first consignment is US $ 20,000 and it will be a monthly shipment Chairman, Managing Director Maspro Lanka Shelton Fernando said.

He said this world class VHF and UHF antenna combination is manufactured with 100 percent Sri Lankan raw material and it is a great achievement for the company in its 25 years history and for the country.

There are inquiries from Indonesia , Philippines and Nairobi for the new product which is a positive sign of further expansion.

Fernando said many people feel that the quality of Chinese goods are not up to the standard and there is a trend of those countries eying better quality products now. Therefore we need to look at these niche markets before it is too late. Sri Lanka now has the road infrastructure with man power in this field sufficiently but what is lacking is an electronic zone which will bring immense opportunities to the country with buyers' confidence. The company has also developed advanced CCTV cameras which will help private sector companies to save manpower largely while increasing productivity.

“If the country is to move forward latest technology has to be utilized which will guarantee their protection.

The company has been in the local market for almost two decades and are aiming at a 50 percent market share soon. Fernando said they also have a high performance TV reception checking vehicle equipped with a signal measuring machine to check TV signal strength.”
