Dankotuwa ships first order to Spain

Dankotuwa shipped its first container in October to 'Zara Home' to a new customer in Spain. Zara Home is a specialty home store headquartered in Spain. Dankotuwa already supplies to a well-known department store 'El Corte Ingles' and to several other retailers in Spain, and with this new opening will have a very wide portfolio of customers in Spain.

The design shipped to Zara Home is a contemporary border design aimed at the more sophisticated young home maker. Zara Home specializes in home furnishings.

Its focus is on textiles such as bed, table and bathroom linen, complemented by tableware, cutlery, glassware and decorative items.

They offer customers several different decorative atmospheres to choose from: Contemporary, Classic, Colonial and White. Continuously updating its product range, Zara Home brings the latest fashion trends to home furnishings.

Zara Home which has stores in many parts of the world belongs to a group called 'Inditex' in Spain. Inditex is one of the world's largest fashion distributors, with eight sales formats, Zara, 'Pull and Bear,' Massimo, Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius, 'Oysho,' Zara Home and 'Uterq'e'. Inditext is well armed with 4,430 stores in 73 countries.

Dankotuwa was chosen because of its very high whiteness, which is considered to be one of the highest in the world, flexibility in producing small quantities in a variety of designs and its state-of-the-art design development capability.

It is well-known that Dankotuwa products are sought after in European countries because of its superior quality features including its hard scratch resistant surface.

This year Dankotuwa has been shipping a higher percentage to Europe as a result of the downturn in US orders but still its total exports are less than last year's.
