Würth Lanka recently celebrated Würth Groups’ success globally during the year 2022 and the visit of group’s Senior Vice President Asia Region Christian Olsen, with Ceylon Motor Traders Association’s (CMTA) expo.  
Würth Group, the global market leader in the development, production and sale of assembly and fastening materials, once again proved its competitive strength and stability in the 2022 fiscal year. Reaching a new record of EURO 19.95 billion in a turbulent world economy, Würth Lanka too as the tiny baby managed to be on top with the worst ever condition in Sri Lanka. 
 Speaking at the event Christian Olsen said that Würth, like many other businesses worldwide is operating in difficult economic and political conditions. The war in Ukraine, material and supply shortages, and price increases continue to be challenging. He therefore thanked the more than four million customers worldwide for their trust in Würth services and suppliers for their cooperative partnerships. 
 He also thanked and commended the Würth Lanka team for having achieved remarkable results while navigating from the added difficulties of a collapsed economy in Sri Lanka. “We can rely on the strength of our corporate culture, the solidarity of all employees, and of course the support of a family business in times of crisis” said Olsen. 
 “Operating in this fragile, interdependent environment will remain a key challenge in 2023. Despite all crises, we will maintain last year’s momentum and positive spirit, stay optimistic and act with caution,” Olsen stressed.    
Speaking at the event MD /CEO Würth Lanka Rohan Amirthiah thanked CMTA members for trusting in Würth for the last 22 years. Würth Lanka has been resilient and did not send any employee home, rather paid their salaries and was still able to service its clients.   
Würth Lanka also showcased many products and solutions to the CMTA members that could help members to create profits during their aftermarket activities, when car imports are restricted. The event was held at the JAIC Hilton residencies. (KKK)
