Orzone Group makes history with drinking water exports to Sydney, Australia
Daily FT: Orzone Mineral Water Exports Ltd. recently exported 40 High-cube (HQ) containers of 600 millilitre (ml) drinking water bottles to Sydney, Australia, becoming the first ever Sri Lankan company to do so.
The Company has been awarded an order to supply one million 600 ml water bottles to Sydney, Australia, and the recent import marked the initial phase of it. The Company started exporting water bottles to other parts of the world 30 years ago and has commenced exports to Australia with the aim of expanding the business.
Their drinking water is in high demand internationally due to hygienic bottling of water and packaging of the bottles in accordance with local and internationally accepted standards and using the latest technology. Over the past, the Company has been able to secure the trust of the international clients by delivering their orders on time.
Affirming its excellence, Orzone Mineral Water Exports Ltd., recently bagged three awards at National Industry Excellence (NIE) Awards organised by the Industrial Development Board (IDB) and ‘Uva Abhimani’ Awards organised by the National Enterprise Development Authority (NEDA) and the Uva Provincial Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The awards include two Gold awards and the Best Exporter Award.
“Over the past, we have achieved continuous success thanks to our customers worldwide and dedicated staff. Our aim is to expand our production capacity and the necessary plans have already been made. By doing so, we will be able to export more products and help to strengthen the country’s foreign currency reserves. Commencing exports to Australia is just one step towards that goal,” said Orzone Group of Companies Managing Director Dr. Upul B. Senarath.
OSL take:
Many local businesses have shown a steady growth and expansion in the past few months. It is an indication of the overall strength, resilience and growth of Sri Lanka’s economy despite facing many economic challenges. Sri Lanka’s economic activities and the path to becoming a regional hub have strengthened the country’s private sector. All these have opened up a host of new business/investment opportunities covering all key economic sectors as well as present opportunities for foreign businesses/investors to explore collaborations with local businesses with the aim of further expansion. With local businesses also looking at international expansions, foreign businesses/investors could look at these opportunities to collaborate to expand operations overseas as well as in Sri Lanka. The strategic positioning of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean and the many trade agreements as well as trade concessions enjoyed with other countries also support the expansion of Sri Lanka’s private sector into overseas markets as well as present business/investment opportunities in key economic sectors.
