Two giants in the building materials and construction industry, Samson Rajarata Tiles Ltd. and Lanka Tiles PLC have announced that Rajarata tiles will now be available for sale through the latter’s network.
This comes as a welcome and convenient initiative that gives buyers the opportunity to purchase Sri Lanka’s terracotta (clay) products and premier wall and floor tiles through this joint network. This initiative comes after the signing of a memorandum of understanding between Samson Rajarata and Lanka Tiles.
Samson Rajarata Tiles is a producer of world-class varied clay (terra cotta) products. It is also a part of the DSI Samson Group, one of Sri Lanka’s largest family-owned conglomerates with a rich history spanning over 50 years.
It offers a wide array of high-quality clay roofing, flooring and wall tiles in various shapes, sizes, colours and textures which are manufactured using 100% natural and eco-friendly clay. Their products are manufactured using globally-recognised Japanese technology thus ensuring that they meet the highest international standards.
In addition to being Sri Lanka’s premier manufacturer of Clay Roof Tiles and Terra Cotta Products Samson Rajarata products are also well received in foreign markets with almost 35% of its products exported to Europe.
Samson Rajarata Tiles Director Dilshan Rajapaksha said: “This initiative is a mutually beneficial one for both Rajarata Tiles, Lanka Tiles as well as the local consumer who gets to experience 2 high quality brands in one convenient place creating an experience that compliments both brands.”
Lanka Tiles Managing Director Mahendra Jayasekara said: “This was an opportunity to bring the best of Sri Lanka’s building materials and products together under one initiative to offer customers the best quality material in one convenient place.”
Taking the number one spot in Sri Lanka for floor and wall tiles manufacturing and marketing, Lanka Tiles has an impressive portfolio of products of varied hues, textures and sizes. Lanka Tiles is not only one of Sri Lanka’s largest producers of floor and wall tiles but also makes a significant contribution to the economy of the country via foreign currency earnings similar to Samson Rajarata, by exporting to over 15 countries across the globe.
