Dankotuwa Porcelain Limited
(DPL) which entered the Indian market in 2004 with a branch, and
a showroom in the Sri Lanka EDB’s Trade Centre in Chennai, is
making strong inroads into the Indian hotel market.
The whiteness and the quality of the Dankotuwa products have
impressed Indian hoteliers. Hotels such as Taj Coromandel in
Chennai, Le Meridian in Chennai and Bangalore, Taj Fisherman’s
Cove in Mahabalipuram, Majorda Beach Resort in Goa, and several
hotels in Chennai such as GRT Grand Hotel, Hotel Breeze, Cee-bros
and many others have ordered Dankotuwa Porcelain products.
Dankotuwa is geared in making the requirements of the hotels
with its Logo and any special surface decorations.
Dankotuwa Porcelain Ltd., is also planning to have franchised
stores in other parts of India and have already started one in
Bangalore and is negotiating for another one in New Delhi.
"With the strong economic growth in India coupled with the
increase in the sophistication of India’s middle class and fact
that the Indian market prefers heavy decorations which Dankotuwa
excels at, we see a great future in India" said Dankotuwa
Porcelain Limited Chairman/Managing Director, Sunil Wijesinha.
Dankotuwa Porcelain hopes to launch some new designs in India
soon and carry out other promotional activities.
"The fact that our porcelain does not use animal bone ash is
a strong selling feature in the Indian market" said DPL’s Chief
Operating Officer, Sarath Mallawa Arachchi.
