Ceylon Motor Traders Association holds AGM
The Ceylon Motor Traders Association (CMTA) celebrated its 99th year and held the annual general meeting recently.
Affiliated to the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, the CMTA is the most senior automotive trade association in the region.
The CMTA represents all major international automotive manufacturers, through its agents. The members of the CMTA collectively employ and train thousands of Sri Lankan citizens. They bring in international best practices in engineering and management, making the pool that is trained, employable internationally.
In 2019, the association is looking to develop a policy document, detailing a future mobility plan for Sri Lanka. The CMTA is looking to work with international applied research agencies and international donors to create this document. Once created, the association will work closely with the government towards the implementation of the recommended policy.
The CMTA is widely accepted as the voice of the Sri Lankan automotive industry.
