Diesel & Motor Engineering PLC (DIMO) recently hosted their valued Mercedes-Benz customers to an extravagant evening to appreciate their valued patronage and loyalty towards the three-pointed star. This exclusive event was held at the DIMO 800 – ‘The New Mercedes-Benz Centre’, and the invitees included patrons who had purchased Mercedes-Benz, Jeep and Chrysler vehicles from DIMO from 2014 onwards. The invitation was extended to their spouses too.
More than 350 customers and their spouses were entertained to an evening of classical compositions, which included melodies of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, recreated in a unique contemporary style by renowned composer and pianist Harsha Makalanda. Mozart’s melodies lay the perfect setting for the evening in the presence of another German masterpiece; Mercedes-Benz.
Kenny Ng was the special invitee for the evening, representing Daimler AG. He spoke of the relationship between Daimler and DIMO, and the importance of the event. He went on to mention about the technological innovations, future rollout plans and how Daimler has kept their faith in DIMO for the last several decades to deliver the best or nothing.
DIMO Chairman/Managing Director Ranjith Pandithage mentioned that purchasing a Mercedes-Benz is a symbol of standing – a sign of accomplishment and a sign that you’ve reached. He also mentioned that purchasing a Mercedes-Benz from DIMO is a rational decision, when you consider it as a lifestyle investment. He further stated that this is a humble way of recognising the trust that consumers have placed on Mercedes-Benz and DIMO.
Mount Lavinia Hotel arranged an impressive array of gastronomical delights to deliver a unique experience to the invitees. The variety of the cuisine and the classical melodies created a collective ambience and feel for the customer appreciation night. Together, DIMO and Mount Lavinia created a unique occasion where customers tasted many delicacies for the first time.
DIMO was represented by CEO Gahanath Pandithage, Mercedes-Benz Sales and Parts GM Rajeev Pandithage, Mercedes-Benz Service GM Tharanga Gunawardena, Mercedes-Benz Sales Manager Dinesh Gunaratne along with the senior management of DIMO and the Mercedes-Benz team.
DIMO also took this opportunity to unveil the all new Mercedes-Benz S-Coupe and the AMG GTS. For more than half a century, the flagship Mercedes-Benz coupe has advanced the state of the art, with industry-changing breakthroughs and uncompromising pillar less style. The all-new S-Class Coupe is sleeker yet more muscular, smoother yet sharper, and irresistibly powerful, not just in its acceleration but in every alluring detail.
