Vinseth Engineering Ltd. celebrated 10 years in operation under the theme ‘ADMO 10 years of Excellence’ with an all-night pirith ceremony at its factory premises at the Katuwana Industrial Complex in Homagama.

Members of the staff who served the company loyally, since the inception were felicitated at a gala dinner held at the Cavalry Officers’ Mess, Rock House Army Camp, Colombo 15. Retired Army Commander General Daya Rathnayaka was the Chief Guest at the well-attended function.

Borne with the personal vision of paying back the motherland by its founder Chairman/CEO Dhammika Bede Cooray, Vinseth Engineering commenced its operation in supplying quality Zn-Al roofing products under the brand name ADMO in 2006.

With the philosophy of maximising customer satisfaction, ADMO made a significant impact in the construction industry. This was well proven when Vinseth Engineering was elevated to third position in imports of coated sheeting, when statistics were released for 2015. Nihal Weerawarna and Sarath Vithanage, the other two founder Directors, played a major role in this achievement.

Cooray said: “This is a tremendous milestone in our company; over the last 10 years we have become a dominant organisation in the construction industry, which we never thought at the inception. These successes are owing to our employee-driven teamwork model. Though the construction industry has advanced in various ways, our mission remained unchanged. That is to supply a superior roofing product. The last decade has been crucial in building a future beyond the next decade. This success belongs to the dedicated staff of the company and our loyal clientele.”

Over the last 10 years Vinseth Engineering has been recognised in many ways, achieving ISO 9001:2000 standard and in the construction industry, reached ICTAD grading of C5 and EM-2. Vinseth’s contribution towards a greener environment was recognised with the Gold Award for Green Mark Certification by CIOB. Another accolade was the Maas Lanka Trade Excellence award.

With the expected construction boom Vinseth felt the need for an expansion. With this in mind a three-acre land was acquired in the Horana BOI Zone, with an ambitious plan for introducing new Zn-Al roofing products suitable for the next decade. The organisation’s network consists of eight branches in Homagama, Nawala, Jethawana Rd, Colombo 14, Hambantota, Nuwara-Eliya, Kurunegala, Galle and Anuradhapura.
