Dankotuwa adds new designs for silver jubilee

In celebration of its 25th Anniversary Dankotuwa Porcelain launched 12 new designs to the local market on January 20 through their showrooms located at Kollupitiya and Kirulapone. Eight new designs were introduced under the brand name of "Dankotuwa" and named as SAMURAI PLATINUM, NEW DECO, VERSAILLES, PEARL GOLD, PEARL PLATIN, MUNIRA, WHITE LUSION PLATIN and WHITE LUSION GOLD, while four new designs were introduced under the brand name of "Laklain" and named as YALA PLATIN, ROSATEA, HIRIA and KIKKA. These four designs are on ivory porcelain. Some of these designs are being shipped to export destinations for the first time while a few are almost twenty year old designs being reintroduced.

"We have been constantly introducing new designs and withdrawing the very old designs, whilst continuing our policy of responding to market demands", said Dankotuwa Porcelain PLC's, Chairman/Managing Director Sunil G Wijesinha. Since Dankotuwa caters to approximately 25 foreign markets, it has a wide range of designs which suite every taste. The new designs will be initially available at the Colombo and Kirulapone showrooms only, while the Colombo Showrooms will continue to have mainly DANKOTUWA branded premium designs, Kirulapone will have the "value-for-money" LAKLAIN branded items as well.

"Globally, more emphasis is being paid to presentation of haute cuisine. Prominent chefs the world over are using quality porcelain tableware to complement their creations. Introducing different types of tableware designs for each table during an occasion will also create an inviting mix of creativity and set an alluring atmosphere for guests. We at Dankotuwa have all the products that are fully geared to fulfill this need" says Wijesinha.
