Headquartered in Monticatini in Tuscany near Florence, Verinlegno is present throughout the whole of Italy with 25 warehouses and a network composed of 30 agents. Launched in 1975, the company recently reinforced its presence in foreign markets and is today present in several countries such as Greece, Spain, Poland, Romania, Israel, Germany, Bulgaria, Russia, Ukraine, India, the Middle East and Africa. Verinlegno has a production capacity of about 8000 tons per year and offers qualified technical support as well as an efficient service. All of its products are subject to severe quality tests and controls and thereby guarantee the highest quality. Lankem Ceylon PLC Director Ruwan T. Weerasinghe said: “This partnership reinforces our philosophy of offering our rapidly expanding customer base the finest possible products. The Verinlegno range that will be available as ‘Robbialac Acquashield’ brings with it high quality seamlessly combined with Italian finesse. We have kept to our vision of being the ‘front runner’ in the array of industries we represent, thus creating a niche in each one of them.” Verinlegno Italy Founder Director Sante Zando said: “We’re happy to team up with Lankem Robbialac and revolutionise Sri Lanka’s wood coatings market. Our range of products is geared to suit any climate. Being a tropical and temperate country, wood surfaces in Sri Lanka also need special care. The Verinlegno range will undoubtedly further enhance the Sri Lankan experience.”
