Alumex powers Unleashed 2026

Alumex PLC, Sri Lanka’s leading aluminium extrusion manufacturer, was proud to be the Official Material Sponsor for the event Unleashed 2026 – the launch of FALCON E1, a next-generation electric racing car designed and built entirely by students of the University of Moratuwa. 

Held recently on the university premises, the event marked a milestone in Sri Lanka’s engineering innovation landscape. Developed by the university’s Team Falcon Racing, FALCON E1 is a completely new electric race car built from the ground up, using advanced engineering design, precision manufacturing techniques and cutting-edge electric vehicle technologies. 

As the official material sponsor, Alumex provided critical aluminium inputs that formed part of the vehicle’s construction, including aluminium components weighing approximately 650 kilogrammes. The company also extended specialised anodising services for machined components, enhancing the power to weight ratio, while maintaining structural integrity required under racing conditions. 

Alumex has consistently supported Sri Lanka’s student engineering innovation ecosystem and took particular pride in contributing to this project. Notably, this marks the third consecutive occasion on which Alumex has supported the development of Sri Lanka’s electric racing vehicles, reinforcing its commitment to nurturing engineering excellence and sustainable mobility innovation.

Alumex Managing Director Pramuk Dediwela commented, “Supporting the Falcon Racing team and launch of FALCON E1 reflects Alumex’ commitment to empowering the next generation of Sri Lankan engineers because we believe innovation is driven by bold ideas and the courage to turn them into reality.”
