MAPS International Director Asanga Rathnayake, addressing the maiden dealer convention, said MAPS products became popular in the country within a short stint due to their user friendly nature, affordable prices, durability and credibility.

“MAPS International has a short span of history that is three years. Within this period a heavy demand was created for MAPS products making MAPS a household name. We achieved these heights with the help of our dedicated team of sales agents and partnering companies. If their support had not been forthcoming, we wouldn’t have held this sales agents’ get-together today,” he said.

He added: “World-class technology used to manufacture MAPS products, excellent after-sales services with affordable prices offered by the company made MAPS brand, have an edge. This scenario built confidence towards MAPS products among dealers and consumers. Our customer base is increasing day-by-day and today’s sales agents’ get-together is a result of that. I wish MAPS Company will go from strength to strength by nurturing the relationships it built with the dedicated team of sales agents.”

Rathnayake further stated that in 2017 the company intends to introduce more new products to the marketplace with MAPS brand. MAPS International Director M.K. Wijetunga said the company was commissioned in 2013 and it became a diversified entity within a short span.

“Our sales agents took MAPS brand to fore by stimulating sales. They are the pillars of our success. Excellent standards of MAPS products, technical supremacy and ethical business nature of the company helped these dealers to sell MAPS products without hassle. MAPS Company entered the building construction sphere in the country in 2013. We introduced MAXTREK vehicle tyre in 2014. In 2015 we entered the domestic hydro power pumps market,” said Wijetunga.
