Magnetic flag pole for vehicle lovers on Independence Day
With Sri Lankans preparing to celebrate the country’s 70th Independence Day on Sunday February 4, a local company has developed an innovative way to fly a flag on a car without scratching the surface of the vehicle.
It has been created by Pasindu Auto Parts (Pvt) Ltd, a local company that manufactures all kinds of vehicle accessories. The flag pole can be fixed inside or outside the vehicle. Managing Director of the company, T.G. Namal Pushpakumara, said this product was introduced last year on a small scale. “This year we have manufactured the flag poles on a large scale since the demand was high, unlike other flag poles that has a sticker at the bottom and could probably damage the surface of the vehicle. The flag is available at all leading bookshops island-wide from February 1at a reasonable price of Rs. 200,” he added.
His factory is located in Eheliyagoda while the company has branches in Avissawella, Ukwaththa and Ratnapura with around 30 electricians in-house. “No one in the country has manufactured this type of a high power flag pole that doesn’t damage the surface of the vehicle. We have tested the flag even while the vehicle is moving at 100 km per hour on the Southern Expressway,” he noted.
