• Represents Sri Lanka at Asia Marketing Excellence Awards 2025

Sunshine Consumer Lanka was honoured by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM) as Marketing Company of the Year – Sri Lanka, earning the opportunity to represent the nation at the prestigious Asia Marketing Federation (AMF) Awards 2025, held in China in May 2025.

This national-level recognition was granted following a competitive evaluation by SLIM, reflecting Sunshine Consumer’s purpose-driven, insight-led marketing strategy that has resonated deeply with Sri Lankan consumers. 

The company’s diverse brand portfolio, Zesta, Watawala and Ran Kahata, caters to three distinct consumer need segments, while its strong confectionery portfolio, including Daintee, Milady, X-tra and Daintee Hearts, continues to dominate Sri Lanka’s FMCG market.

The AMF is a regional collaboration platform uniting marketing associations across 18 Asian countries. SLIM, as a Board Member of the AMF, plays a key role in facilitating Sri Lankan representation at these international forums. 

In May 2025, Sunshine Consumer Chief Marketing Officer Kavi Rajapaksha Deshapriya and Senior Brand Manager Nadee Manathunga travelled to China to present the company’s achievements directly to the AMF jury. 

Sunshine Consumer Lanka Chief Executive Officer Anuruddha Aluvihare said, “This recognition by SLIM and the opportunity at the AMF reflect the dedication of our teams and the deep trust our consumers have placed in us. It’s a privilege to showcase Sri Lanka’s marketing excellence on an international stage.”

“Sunshine Consumer has demonstrated strong consumer insight, strategic clarity and impact across multiple categories,” said SLIM President Prof. Jayantha Dewasiri.
