Velona Cuddles has been named the ‘Most Innovative Brand of the Year’ at the 2015 SLIM Brand Excellence Awards for its functionally advanced product and unconventional market penetration and development strategies to face fierce international and local competition. The awards endeavours to encourage best practice branding and raise local brands to global standards.
Revolutionising Sri Lanka’s baby diaper market, Velona Cuddles is unique in being the only brand in the local market that features a super absorbent core using SAP technology, an ultra-breathable back-sheet, patented triple elastic ear patch, Aloe Vera liners, Wetness Indicator and safe Magic Tape straps.
