INSEE Cement recognises business partners at prestigious awards ceremony

INSEE Cement recognised and celebrated outstanding accomplishments of INSEE business partners island-wide at the INSEE Cement Business Partner Awards 2017, held on 24 March Shangri-La Hambantota Resort and Spa. The glitzy ceremony followed a highly successful period of brand transition and growth with INSEE Cement’s acquisition of Holcim Lanka in September 2016.

Themed ‘Deepthimathhetak… Abhimanawathpawulak…’, the awards marked the first time INSEE Cement connected business partners of its two leading brands, Sanstha and Mahaweli Marine together, to be lauded and rewarded for their achievements as part of rapidly growing INSEE Cement brand. The event represented the amalgamation of one INSEE family across the island, further strengthening the bonds created by these two brands over the years. 

The biggest honour of the evening, the Business Partner of the Year Award was presented to Indrajith Mudannayake of Sanasuma Hardware, Gampaha, who received the award from Chief Executive Officer Nandana Ekanayake and the Executive Committee of INSEE Cement. With all business partners gathered together with their families, INSEE Cement presented a total of 56 awards at the event, which included regional and national awards for both Sanstha and Mahaweli Marine products. Renowned artists and performers added more glamour to the ceremony throughout the course of the night.

Congratulating the winners, INSEE Cement Commercial Director Janaka Weerakoon commented, “It was a great privilege and honour to host the awards ceremony, to recognise and appreciate our business partners and their contribution to INSEE Cement. It is their demand and support that raise our standards for business excellence, product innovation and overall customer satisfaction. While ensuring INSEE Cement’s long-term investment in Sri Lanka, we invite all our business partners to continue this journey with us to greater heights, create new avenues of growth, and together with INSEE, build brighter futures.”
