Sri Lanka’s premier cable manufacturer in Sri Lanka, ACL Cables PLC unveiled ‘ACL Elegance’, its innovative new switch and socket range for the market at a glittering event recently.
The new ACL Elegance range was unveiled by ACL Cables PLC Manager Director Suren Madanayake along with the brand’s iconic Russian model Ksenia. The milestone event was held during the last week of February at Cinnamon Grand, Colombo and in attendance were key ACL Cables dealers in the Western Province
The ACL Elegance range is manufactured at ACL Electric factory in Moragahahena, a fully owned subsidiary of ACL Cables PLC.
Currently the initially produced range is fully available in Western Province, with ongoing plans to market the products in other areas with increased production capacity.
Commenting on this landmark launch, ACL Cables PLC Manager Director Suren Madanayake said, “ACL has always been at the forefront of introducing compelling, high in quality products. We identified a gap of quality switches and the need for switches with a higher standard. Hence our Research and Development team worked continuously during the past 6-10 months to produce a consumer friendly, easy to handle, stylish and long lasting switch.”
“The newly launched range demonstrates the aforesaid four key features we wanted to improve and maintain in a switch and socket of this nature. As a result we are extremely excited to present ACL Elegance range to our consumers as we believe its unique attributes would overcome the barriers of other switches and sockets of the same range currently available in the market,” he added.
ACL is renowned for continuously innovating its product range. In 2014, ACL launched its ‘VS Series’ range of switches and sockets, which is known today as the button type range.
