Anverally and Sons wins Gold at NCE Annual Export Awards

Anverally and Sons (Pvt) Ltd, one of Sri Lanka’s oldest exporters of tea which exports to more than 100 countries, won the Gold award in the ‘Extra-Large’ category of the ‘Tea and Tea Products’ sector at the recent 2020 Annual Export Awards of the National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka (NCE).

Themed ‘Resilient Exporters,’ the 28^th edition of this awards ceremony was especially significant to Sri Lankan exporters in the backdrop of the severely affected international trade environment due to the global pandemic, as it ventured to showcase their success stories and achievements to business counterparts in overseas markets, according to a company media release issued on the occasion.

This is the second major award won by Anverally and Sons this year. In January, the company received the Export Brand of the Year – Bronze award at the 2020 Brand Excellence Awards presented by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM).

Commenting on the company’s triumph at the NCE awards, Anverally and Sons Chairman Mohamed Anverally said: “We are elated to once again win this award, and especially so because we have progressed from Silver last year to Gold in a year that was tumultuous and full of challenges. The industry as a whole faced a turbulent time in 2020, but the company was able to maintain its number one rank in several Middle Eastern countries such as Iraq and Libya. We value this award as a testament to our resilience and ability to maintain quality standards and retain customers, even in times of adversity.”

The NCE Export Awards are designed to recognise and reward outstanding performance of exporters in the country. The event has achieved national recognition over the past 28 years due to its professionalism and high standards.
