In a time when challenges test resilience, one Sri Lankan company is making headlines for all the right reasons. LAUGFS Rubber, a subsidiary of LAUGFS Holdings, which operates over 20 companies across diverse sectors including LPG, maritime, petroleum, lubricants, renewable energy, hospitality with Anantaya Resorts, retail through LAUGFS Supermarkets, and environmental services like LAUGFS Eco Sri’s vehicle emission testing, has once again proved its mettle by winning the prestigious Award for Most Outstanding Exporter Overall at the 32nd Annual National Chamber of Exporters (NCE) Export Awards 2024.

This is not the first time LAUGFS Rubber has achieved such recognition. The company previously won the same accolade in 2022, alongside a consistent record of excellence in the rubber tyre and accessories sector, securing gold awards in this category for four consecutive years

For years, LAUGFS Rubber has been supporting Sri Lanka’s economy by creating hundreds of jobs, boosting exports, and placing the nation on the global map. Today, its high-quality industrial solid tyres are exported to over 50 countries across five continents, bringing much-needed foreign revenue and positioning Sri Lankan innovation as a force to be reckoned with on the world stage.

“Winning the Most Outstanding Exporter of the Year award again is a monumental achievement for LAUGFS Rubber,” said Mr. Chinthaka Wegapitiya, Director/CEO of LAUGFS Rubber. “This accolade reflects the hard work, innovation, and dedication of our teams, who have consistently delivered world-class products. It also demonstrates our unwavering commitment to sustainability, quality, and customer-centricity, values that have helped us push boundaries and lead Sri Lanka’s charge into global markets.”

LAUGFS Rubber’s success is rooted in its eco-friendly state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, which prioritises sustainable practices. Its operations adhere to international standards, earning multiple certifications for quality, energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and ethical trading. This commitment to sustainability not only aligns with global best practices but also underscores its role as a steward of Sri Lanka’s environmental future.

While its achievements in the industrial tyre sector have brought international acclaim, LAUGFS Rubber’s contributions extend beyond the factory floor. Each tyre exported represents Sri Lanka’s ingenuity, helping to generate employment, support local suppliers, and inspire countless industries to follow suit.

As the export leader in the rubber tyre and accessories sector for four consecutive years, LAUGFS Rubber’s achievements speak volumes. More importantly, they serve as a reminder of what is possible when Sri Lankan companies rise to the occasion, not just for themselves but for the nation. In every tyre that rolls out of LAUGFS Rubber’s facility lies a story of hope, hard work, and the unyielding spirit of a nation. Because when LAUGFS wins, Sri Lanka wins
