Buddhi Industries Private Limited excelled at the recently held Presidential Export Excellence Awards at the Nelum Pokuna Theatre. The award ceremony was organised by the Export Development Board (EDB). 

Buddhi Industries Managing Director B.K. Maheepala received this award of excellence from International Trade State Minister Sujeewa Senasinghe for the cashew shelling machine they have manufactured and export.

“Our main production is this cashew shelling machine and India, Vietnam, Myanmar, Indonesia and Thailand are our main buyers in the Asian region. In addition, we have a huge demand from African countries like Tanzania, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Gambia. Out of our total production, we export 95 percent while the rest 5 percent is issued to the local market,” Maheepala said upon receiving the award.

The main factory of Buddhi Industries Private Limited is in Dewalapola, Minuwangoda.

Buddhi Industries has won many local and international awards and the two Presidential Awards it received this time for export excellence (2010/2011) show the stability it has acquired in the export market. Buddhi Industries indeed is a pride for those who value local businesses.
