Dankotuwa breaks in German market

Dankotuwa Porcelain, which already supplies to many European markets, has finally succeeded in entering the German market as well. “We have been trying the German market for sometime because it is the most sophisticated for porcelain with a history of 250 years of using porcelain, and are delighted that we finally succeeded,” said Sunil Wijesinha, Chairman Dankotuwa Porcelain in a press release.

Bernd Hofmann, whose company is the agent for Dankotuwa in many European countries and who has helped Dankotuwa over the last 20 years to reach higher standards of quality, says, “Germany had about 64 factories producing porcelain but they are almost all closed down and production shifted to the East and Asia. However the German people understand porcelain and would never compromise on good quality. It is for this reason that Dankotuwa was able to interest German suppliers because of the very high quality.”

Dankotuwa will shortly make its first shipment through Michael Fischer oHG, one of the largest distributors in Germany. Negotiations with them commenced during the Ambiente trade fair in Frankfurt, Germany last February.
