A leading name in the Sri Lankan automotive sector, AMW, recently announced the unveiling of its improved tyre brand for passenger vehicles: ‘AMW – EPIC’.
This is expected to cater to the mounting domestic demand for tyres. AMW has a rich heritage with rubber since the inception of the iconic factory in 1949.
Through AMW’s renewed effort, motorists in both Consumer and Commercial categories are set to tremendously benefit, especially from the point of view of price and quality. AMW is hopeful that AMW – EPIC, a tyre that’s Sri Lankan at heart fulfils a timely need of the local tyre market offering a premium quality product which the market currently lacks.
Catering to a wide spectrum of consumer and industrial needs, AMW harnesses modern manufacturing methodologies and management techniques to manufacture a range of tyres for scooters (such as Yamaha Ray ZR, Honda Dio, TVS Scooty Pept and Ntorq), motorbikes (such as Yamaha FZ, Suzuki GN 125, Bajaj Discovery, CT 100 and Pulsar) three-wheelers (such as Bajaj, TVS, Mahindra and Piaggio) and other light-vehicles (such as Tata Dimo Batta and Mahindra Maxximo).
A feature that sets AMW – EPIC apart is the tread pattern optimised to offer users the maximum mileage on the litre – this is particularly relevant and useful in the present context. The tyres are also 100% tested against vibration and wobbling and provide enhanced grip with superior cornering and braking ability. All AMW – EPIC tyres carry a three-year warranty on a Pro rata basis.
Virann de Zoysa, representing, AMW Manufacturing noted: “AMW is excited to be stepping up as a local enterprise to cater to the rising demand for tyres which has been unavailable in the market in the past two years due to the market’s heavy dependence on imports. We are confident that our new, innovative product which is both affordable and premium in quality will be a much-needed respite for the local motorist community.”
AMW manufactures tyres for all industrial purposes, as well as other polymer products including automotive bushes, hoses, rubber seals and carpets. Over the decades, the Company has developed an unparalleled reputation for quality, reliability and customer orientation, making AMW not only the preferred choice for individual customers but a preferred vendor for many world-class clients.
Operating under stringent quality controls and with considerable investments made to state-of-the art manufacturing, AMW’s 23-acre iconic production facility in Nagoda, Kalutara, Sri Lanka, fully complies with ISO 9001: 2008 Quality Management Systems as well as ISO 14001:2004 Environmental Management System and Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification.
