Awards galore for Piramal Glass Ceylon
Piramal Glass Ceylon PLC once again has kept to its record of being
recognized as an "Achiever" this year too by winning awards at multiple
award ceremonies.
Piramal Glass Ceylon with its rich history of over 50 years of "glass
bottle making" is a fine example of a local company going global by
gaining business strength and global recognition with the fusion of a
global conglomerate. The then "Ceylon Glass Company" came under the
umbrella of global conglomerate "The Piramal Group" in 1999.
