ACL Cables, has won the World Class Asia Pacific Quality Award (IAPQA) 2008, which is a very prestigious award and a rare honour for the country. This international award vied for by companies in 46 member countries across the Globe requires contesting companies to go through a very stringent selection process and is awarded purely for excellence in quality. The award has not only affirmed ACL’s local and international standing as a leader in the industry but has raised the bar amongst their customers who are already recognising ACL as a top-notch company committed to Quality.

Suren Madanayake, Managing Director of ACL Cables who received the award on recently at the 14th annual conference of the Asia Pacific Quality Organization (APQO) and 9th International Conference of Quality Managers (ICQM), said "apart from winning the IAPQA award which is a great honour, we see this as a leverage point for ACL’s global expansion, since not only did we defeat 46 countries in the winning process but the fact that this award which is given purely for quality was won by an industrial product is in itself unique. Although Sri Lanka is known for winning international accolades for commodities such as Tea, Rubber and Garments, this is the first time a Sri Lankan Company has brought honour to the country by winning an international quality award for an industrial product."

ACL Cables PLC was established in 1962 and over the last 4 decades the Company has made great strides in Sri Lanka’s cable industry by becoming its key player through innovation and advanced technology. The Company has hugely expanded their operations both within and outside the country. For example ACL acquired technology for XLPE insulated cables from NOKIA Cables of Finland and developed it through internal R&D to be the most advanced in the region. This is the reason why ACL was selected by the largest corporate in India to introduce XLPE Insulated Aerial Bundled Cables to New Delhi in 2003– despite the presence of 50 such companies in India.
