Teejay Lanka PLC took the Silver Award in the ‘Extra Large’ category of the ‘Textiles and Garments’ sector at the Annual Export Awards 2023 presented by the National Chamber of Exporters (NCE), ending 2023 on a winning note.

The NCE Export Award followed similar accolades for export excellence, including a ‘Best Exporter’ Award and a Certificate of Merit at the 2023 Presidential Export Awards presented by the Export Development Board (EDB), and a Merit Award at the CNCI Achiever Awards for Industrial Excellence presented by the Ceylon National Chamber of Industries (CNCI).

The NCE Export Awards program is a strategic initiative to highlight and celebrate exporters that have excelled in crucial dimensions, focusing on People, Profit, and Planet. The Chamber places distinct emphasis on recognising businesses that not only achieve financial success but also contribute to societal and environmental well-being.

The assessment of contenders for these awards also encompasses commitment to innovation, value addition, and research and development, reflecting a proactive approach in line with the economic perspectives of the Sri Lankan Government.

Teejay CEO Pubudu De Silva said: “This award serves as a reaffirmation of Teejay’s unwavering commitment to achieving business growth while contributing significantly to the development of the Sri Lankan economy and the textile industry. We value this award because it is not simply about business volumes, but a recognition of the multifaceted contributions of exporters, to sustainability, innovation, and economic progress.”

Sri Lanka’s first multinational textile manufacturer, the Teejay Group owns manufacturing facilities in Sri Lanka and India, along with a state-of-the-art printing facility in Sri Lanka.
