Dilmah secures three wins at Presidential Export awards
View(s):Scoring a hat-trick of accolades at the 2021 Presidential Export Awards, Dilmah has been selected Most Globally Outreached Sri Lankan Brand, Market Diversified Exporter and Contributor to Sustainable Development in the Export Industry for 2019/20.
The 24th Presidential Export Awards (PEA) by the Export Development Board was held at the BMICH recently with President Gotabaya Rajapaksa as Chief Guest. Among the 63 outstanding export companies in Sri Lanka, Dilmah received three awards for the financial year 2019/20.
“Taking Sri Lanka’s prized two leaves and a bud to the world, family tea company Dilmah has won the recognition of tea drinkers from around the globe. The brand is available in over 100 countries, served inflight on several airlines, and the preferred cuppa in over 5000 hotels located around the world. Founded by the first tea grower to offer tea grown, picked, perfected and packed at source, direct to customers around the world, Dilmah Tea has a reputation for quality and integrity. Its founder, Merrill J. Fernando’s seminal achievement is the disruption of an exploitative, colonial model in tea with value addition at source, benefiting the producer rather than the middleman,” the company said in a media release.
From its humble beginnings, Dilmah has grown on the strength of the brand’s focus on purity of origin, freshness and ethics, strengthened by innovation. The Dilmah family applied its unique passion for tea, in developing revolutionary, tea inspired concepts from its tea culinary and mixology contests, to the Dilmah School of Tea and its t-Lounges. Dilmah’s Camellia Epicurean, a tea inspired fine dining concept is acknowledged as the pinnacle of Ceylon Tea experience.
“In recognisng the obligation that every business has, to its community, and natural environment, my father is a disruptor in more ways than one”. Dilmah CEO, Dilhan C. Fernando commented. “Quality and integrity are at the heart of Dilmah, and their expression in the assurance of good taste, natural goodness and the ethical purpose beyond profit are what makes Dilmah different. We are humbled by these awards but also encouraged in our mission.”
