Sri Lanka’s pioneering water management solutions provider, Capital Maharaja-owned S-lon Lanka Ltd., has made the list of Most Loved Brands in Sri Lanka for the year of 2021 under the Construction/Building Materials category. The research is carried out on an annual basis, by Brands Finance and presented by leading business magazine in Sri Lanka, LMD.
Commenting on the achievement, Capital Maharaja Group Director S.C. Weerasekara noted: “We are honoured to have been recognised as the Most Loved brand in our industrial category. Accolades such as these solidify the love and loyalty extended to S-lon by three generations of Sri Lankans. We only give our customers the best – whether it’s a product or service.”
“We believe in reciprocity and gratitude. To give back to society, we have initiated several CSR initiatives such as the recent Thuru Kepakaru tree plantation project, Gamai Pansalai for empowering places of worship and Diyasara Student Circle for improving awareness towards environmental conservation among youth. S-lon also frequently supports fulfilling water supply requirements in rural villages,” he added.
Launched 63 years ago as the country’s first thermoplastic pipe manufacturer, S-lon today has expanded its product portfolio to include a comprehensive range of pipes and fittings, rainwater disposable systems, sewage pipes and fittings, hot water piping system, ball valves, water taps and water pumps. S-lon has progressed a step further to provide solvent cement, garden mesh, chrome plated faucets and accessories and roofing sheets too.
Weerasekara furthermore thanked all stakeholders, past and present, for their dedication to elevate the brand to its current standing: “Appreciation is owed to everyone who has rendered their service loyally to S-lon and nurtured the brand over the past six decades. We take pride in having not just state-of-the-art technology that in turn delivers premium products but also a pool of dedicated and passionate professionals who serve to enhance the customer experience.”
