In a recent geographic expansion for Schueco India operations in another country, Schueco has tied-up with Asoka Glass & Mirror. The fabrication partner is a renowned name in Sri Lanka and is considered a pioneer in the glass industry and has been in existence since 1946. Asoka Glass exports more than 80% value added glass from Sri Lanka.
Schueco, a Germany based aluminium extrusion giant has its presence in around 80 countries worldwide and is the leader in the architectural aluminium façade industry. Asoka Glass becomes the first company to offer such world class solutions to the growing architectural skyline here in Sri Lanka.
Speaking on the occasion, Schüco India Managing Director Rajeev Antony said, “Our association with Asoka Glass is a very important step in tapping into the evolving Sri Lankan façade and fenestration market which is growing at a rapid pace. The suitability of Schüco Aluminium Systems is ideal to Sri Lanka as it also enjoys a tropical climate with similar demographics as compared to India. Owing to a stellar background and experience in the glass industry, we see a very strong partner in them and will extend support in meeting the common objective of executing world class projects in Sri Lanka.”
Asoka Glass Joint Managing Director Mahinda Jinasena speaking on the occasion highlighted that Asoka Glass has carved a niche as the leader in supply of latest trends in the architectural glass industry.
He further said that with the agreement that they are coming into with the prestigious Schueco today, and soon setting up a fully fledged aluminium fabrication and installation outfit, they are sure that they will be one more step above ‘One Stop Shop’ in this industry, as nowadays developers, architects, consultants and contractors prefer single point sourcing which will make their life easy in project management.
Asoka Glass & Mirror, a joint venture partner of the Fairway Holdings Group, one of the leading property development company in Sri Lanka, has over 70 years expertise in the glass industry and has a vast portfolio of reputed commercial and residential projects to its name.
