DSI Samson Group shines at NCE Awards

The DSI Samson Group was recognised at the NCE Exports Awards 2011 organised by the National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka, displaying its well-placed foundation in the national export sector.

Having received two Gold awards in the Agriculture Value-Added (Large) and (Medium) divisions, a Silver award in the Agriculture Value-Added (Medium) division and a Merit award in the Agriculture Value-Added (Medium) division, four of the DSI Samson Group’s companies have achieved excellence in these diverse sectors for the outstanding performance by them towards enhancing the national export trade.

Samson Rubber Products (Pvt) Ltd. and Samson International PLC, the two Gold award winners, are specialized in the manufacturing of rubber products with over 40 years of collective experience in the highly competitive rubber industry, having pioneered rubber production in Sri Lanka at a time when it was in great demand.

While SIL strictly caters towards manufacturing of rubber-based products only like hot water bottles, jar rings, household and industrial mats, SRP branches out into Natural Rubber, Synthetic Rubber, Recycled Rubber, NBR, SBR, NEOPRENE, Polypropylene HDPE and LDPE, PE, PET, Nylon, EVA and PVC as well, producing moulded rubber products such as solid tyres, solid wheels, caster wheels, tie down straps, pallet bands, truck strings, crutch tips, animal teats, automobile accessories, boat rollers, ice hockey pucks, sink cleaners, railway rubber pads, EVA buoys, shoe soles, thongs for rubber slippers, bicycle accessories, flower pots and plastic water bottles. SIL also provides a great service towards the country by enabling local villages find employment in their facilities.

The Silver award winner, D. Samson Industries (Pvt) Ltd., is the leading footwear manufacturer and exporter in the country, supplying various footwear items such as canvas shoes, sandals, slippers and boots and footwear components for the export market. Being true to their status as the No. 1 footwear brand in Sri Lanka, DSI has always employed the best of their talents in the production of their merchandise with regards to manpower, machinery and technology, following the most stringent quality control methods in keeping with environmental-friendly procedures.

Samson Reclaim Rubbers Ltd. received their Merit award for serving both the local and international markets with products manufactured using end of life (scrap) tyres, which helps overcome environmental and health matters arising from scrap tyres. SRR produces Reclaim Rubber and rubber crumb applications such as safety play tiles, sports surfacing, animal stall mats, etc., using highly advanced technology and is able to compete in international markets with global giants.

Together, these four organisations export their products to several countries such as UK, USA, Denmark, Sweden, New Zealand, Germany, Australia, Japan, Canada, India, China, Spain, etc. ensuring that their customers’ expectations are met and constantly serviced with the highest quality standards at all times. Hence, their achievements at the NCE Awards come as no surprise due to their continued commitment to excellence as the DSI Samson Group continue to receive recognition at every major award ceremony, with each passing year.
