Sala has joined hands as the Silver Sponsor of the premier ICT exhibition ‘INFOTEL – 2016’. Organised by the Federation of Information Technology Industry Sri Lanka (FITIS), ‘INFOTEL –2016’, which is the biggest and most prestigious Information and Communication Technology (ICT) exhibition in Sri Lanka, will be held from  11 to 13 November, at the BMICH in Colombo. FITIS is organising this landmark event in the ICT calendar for the 15th consecutive time. The theme of this year’s exhibition will be ‘Empowering Digital Citizens’.

Expressing his views on this sponsorship, Sala Enterprises Managing Director Chinthaka Wijewickrama said: “We have always introduced the latest technology to Sri Lanka, keeping in mind the price, because it should be affordable to consumers in Sri Lanka. To do that we have a very unique formula-one: the product, second: the staff and third: the after sales services. Without the staff, we cannot give proper after sales services. The after sales service is a key factor in Sri Lanka that we have never forgotten and we will always give the maximum to the consumer. That has been our winning formula. We bring the best of technology from all over the world, but make sure that it’s the most suitable for the Sri Lankan consumer.’’
