Sysco LABS, the global innovation centre for Sysco Corporation, the world’s largest foodservice company, was honoured with the Gold award in the Export Brand of the Year Category at SLIM Brand Excellence Awards 2025.
This marks Sysco LABS’ first-ever submission to the prestigious awards, making it a remarkable achievement as the only company from Sri Lanka’s IT industry recognised among leading names in the country’s marketing landscape.
Held recently, the SLIM Brand Excellence Awards brought together top marketers and corporate leaders to celebrate excellence in marketing innovation, brand building and business impact. Sysco LABS’ win solidifies its evolution from a fledgling start-up to its current state as Sri Lanka’s premier US technology corporate and as a technology brand that continues to power Sysco’s global foodservice ecosystem while building a strong export presence from Sri Lanka.
Sysco LABS Director Brand and Communications Gian De Rose said, “This award reinforces the vision we’ve been driving — to build a brand defined by excellence, relevance, purpose and meaningful impact. The work we do powers Sysco’s recipe for growth and this recognition energises us to aim even higher.”
