Panther recognised at the National Excellence Award by SLCSMI

Panther, Sri Lanka’s leading educational toy and stationery manufacturer, was recently recognised by Sri Lanka Chamber of Small and Medium Industries’ (SLCSMI) as the winner of the Silver award for ‘National Excellence’ at the “Industrial Excellence Awards” held last week in Colombo.

The Panther brand which was created by the paper based manufacturing company Javana Graphics, set up in 1998 with the objective of creating educational toys and stationery, has now expanded its product portfolio to include educational toys for children above the age of three.

The company, in a media release, said it also creates a range of box files, two ring binders, magazine holders and other office stationery, and has grown year on year expanding its reach both locally and to the international market.

Being the first manufacturer of educational products in the country, the company is renowned not only for the high quality of its product range but also its cost-effective principles and wide distribution network; that make Panther products accessible to all Sri Lankans, everywhere.

Speaking of the achievement, Nihal Atukorala, Managing Director, Javana Graphics, said; “We are honoured to be recognised by SLCSMI, to be ranked amongst some of the most elite local companies in Sri Lanka. We are extremely proud of our dedicated and committed staff who have been the foundation of our company’s success over the years. Having been highlighted for being a positive role model for local manufacturing is a great honour and it cements our status as a company to emulate in Sri Lanka.”
