The award ceremony was held recently at the Monarch Imperial in Colombo. The Naturelac Paints Company has been selling their products in Sri Lanka for more than a decade. Their products, which were sold only in Gampaha and Colombo Districts, are now available to anyone in any part of the country at affordable prices. Having commenced its operations with only two employees in 2011, Naturelac has achieved greater success over the past, and their products have attracted thousands of customers from all parts of the island.
Among their much-askedfor products are paints such as emulsion, weather guard, waterproofing, roofing, wall fillers, wall potty, skim coat, enamel, floor paint, varnish, sealer, anticorrosive and metal primer. The wide ranges of products are manufactured at their factory located in Udugampola, and are available in hundreds of colours. “Our products are unique in that they are of high quality and significantly affordable in prices than other brands. Even those who bought paint 11 years ago still come to us because we offer the best paint at the lowest price. That is the best proof of the high quality and affordable price of our products. It is due to the high level of trust placed in us by our customers, and our hardworking staff that we were honoured with this award. We receive orders from different parts of the country. Going beyond the local market, we even export our products to the Maldives at present,” said Naturelac Paints Managing Director Thushara Wellala.
