Brandix wins eight presidential export awards
 

The Brandix Group's contribution to the country's export economy was recognised at the highest level last week when Sri Lanka's single largest apparel exporter was presented eight Presidential Export Awards at the Nelum Pokuna Theatre.

Brandix was recognised as the Sri Lankan Exporter of the Year in respect of 2012 and 2013, and adjudged the Best Exporter in the Apparel Sector in the two years, and also received four Special Awards for being the Highest Net Foreign Exchange Earner and the Highest Employment Provider in the Export Industry in 2012 and 2013.

The collection of awards was presented to the Group by President Maithripala Sirisena and senior ministers.

Brandix was one of the biggest winners across all sectors at this event, held after a lapse of several years. Organised by the Sri Lanka Export Development Board (EDB), this year's event recognised export performances in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Brandix CEO Ashroff Omar said, "Brandix has continued to invest in new technology and innovation and in eco-friendly manufacture. As a result, the Group has consistently added value to its offering, and helped keep Sri Lanka's apparel industry competitive in the global arena."

The eight Presidential Export Awards presented to Brandix this year bring the Group's tally of accolades for export performance to 14. Brandix has been a consistent winner of these awards since 2003, when they were known as the National Awards for Export Excellence (NAEE). Brandix was first ranked as Sri Lanka's most outstanding exporter and best in the apparel sector by the Export Development Board in 2003.
