Lanka Special Steel Limited (Lanka SSL), a BOI-registered company with an undisputed reputation for premium quality wires and a fully owned subsidiary of E B Creasy & Company PLC, was awarded the first Runner-Up in the Large Category at the National Business Excellence Awards 2021 held by the National Chamber of Commerce of Sri Lanka (NCCSL).

Lanka SSL was also named Winner in the Manufactur­ing – Other Sector. The company is no stranger to the awards, having won the second runner-up in the Overall- Large Category and the Gold Award in the Manufactur­ing Sector- Other Category in the 2018 edition.

Over the years, Lanka SSL has pioneered a wide range of mild steel galvanized iron wire backed by proven scientific research and profession­al guidance, making it the largest manufactur­er and market leader specifical­ly in the fence wire sector with a 70pct market share. Lanka SSL takes great pride in being the only manufactur­er in the country to produce galvanised steel wires, with a portfolio serving a multitude of purpose. ‘This achievemen­t wouldn’t have been possible without the tireless dedication and commitment from our employees and the continued trust and loyalty placed in us by our clients and suppliers,’ said Pravin De Silva, CEO and Director of Lanka SSL.

Its continuous appetite for innovation and excellence, coupled with an extensive distributi­on network that is only growing stronger, has had a significan­t impact in shaping the country’s wire industry over the last 23 years. Lanka SSL believes in providing unparallel­ed quality to its customers and continuous­ly works across the spectrum to ensure this promise, through its in-house and independen­t QA experts.

During the end of last year, Lanka SSL introduced the one and only SLS certified barbed wire in the country in addition to its longstandi­ng position as the pioneer and sole manufactur­er for SLS certified hot- dipped galvanized ( Gi) wire.
