Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industries of Sri Lanka has honoured the performance of Safe Hands Products Ltd., a pioneer in manufacturing gloves, with the Silver Award for the Western Province and National Level Merit Award at the Entrepreneur of the Year.
This is an extension of the ongoing recognition of the company’s excellence by the Sri Lanka Chamber of Commerce. Safe Hands Products is known for its quality products trades with the local market and exports to countries like China and India.
Chairman A.J. Ashoka Perera has received special training given to differently-abled people from Japan under the fellowship of the Department of Social Services, thus making himself a capable entrepreneur and an exemplary businessman despite his physical challenges in his journey to set up a company which has tried to contribute to solve the country’s unemployment issues to an extent.
He emphasises that if the Government monitors the differently-abled people after vocational training, they can be incorporated into the development process of the country.
“This victory is very special to me. I convey my humble gratitude to our customers for their faith in us and the dedicated staff for their magnificent contribution. At the same time, I wish to say that we expect to put out more high quality products in the future,” said Perera.
