Kent Display Exports - see beyond the box
For Kent Display Exports, the value added packaging company of the local conglomerate Kent Holdings, packaging is certainly not about fitting a product in to yet another box. It's about adding value to life - of what goes inside as well as of those who buy it.
Backed by their philosophy of giving life to innovative ideas Kent has seen remarkable growth in the last 5 years. Kent's success is a reflection on the Company's unwavering commitment to continuous research and development and the courage to champion a new outlook in an industry set in its ways. It is this vision and courage that lead it to win the Asia award for Excellence in packaging for 5 consecutive years, including 2013.
The start of Kent Display Exports was as a BOI approved value-addition Company for exports and speciality teas. As it grew and became more stable and started improving the nucleus of its product the Company offered its ideas and to a highly appreciative international market. "With the backing of our R&D we don't plan just for tomorrow but for 5 years from now. We develop products together with our clients and our investment in meaningful research & development has allowed us to contribute by way of new product features and new benefits. This has helped us evolve in the business," says Mr. GaminiSaparamadu, the Founding Chairman of the Kent Group of Companies.
When Kent Display Exports first commenced business in 1993, lowest cost was the way to make a mark in the industry. 'Price wars' was the name of the game, with big players like China dominating the market. Over the last two decades, Kent has created a paradigm shift in the market, instilling a new world order that recognises and rewards quality as the key deciding factor, not price.
Kent Display (Pvt) Ltd is honored with 02 Asia Star Awards and the World Star Award for 2012 for Packaging Excellence.
