Dankotuwa Porcelain though facing competition from many overseas producers in Bangladesh, Indonesia and China, has always responded to changing market demands and has won the markets over. With the recent severe downturn in traditional markets of Europe and USA and the turnaround in those markets taking time, the Company is now focusing on the Asian region and has been making steady inroads into India.

Recently, the Company signed an agreement for an Agent in the Maharashtra and Goa areas of India, and Dankotuwa products which are already available in the South and in the Northern States of India will now be available in Mumbai and other western areas of India as well.

The company continued its winning streak of export awards by winning a Gold Award at the National Chamber of Exporters (NCE) Awards ceremony held recently. It won the pinnacle of NCE awards in 1996, 1997 and in 2004 when it won the most coveted 'Sri Lanka's Most Outstanding Exporter Of The Year' award for three years.

Dankotuwa is perhaps the only company that has won this award three times and is the only tableware company that has won the most number of export awards.

In 2005, it won the top award 'Sri Lankan Exporter of the Year' under the Presidential Export Awards Scheme.
