Pussalla Meat Producers Ltd ., has once again secured the prestigious National Gold Award in the Extra-Large Manufacturing Category at the CNCI Achiever Awards 2026, organised by the Ceylon National Chamber of Industries (CNCI). The company was also recognised among the Top Ten Extra-Large Companies in the country.

“Achieving this distinction for the second consecutive year reinforces Pussalla’s position as a leading force in Sri Lanka’s poultry industry and marks another significant milestone in its evolution from a family-founded enterprise into one of the country’s most advanced agribusinesses,” said Pussalla Meat Producers Ltd., and Pussalla Agri Ventures Ltd., Founder and Chairman Philip J. Wewita 

 “The award reinforces our focus on quality, operational efficiency and continuous improvement, while motivating us to set even higher standards for the future.”

For Pussalla, this recognition reflects a business philosophy built on strategic vision, sustained investment and disciplined management.

At the heart of Pussalla’s success is an integrated approach to poultry production, underpinned by a commitment to strengthening operational capabilities and maintaining consistent standards across its business. Innovation and investment continue to play a vital role in this progress, enabling the company to enhance its capabilities, improve productivity and respond to the evolving demands of an increasingly competitive manufacturing environment.

Equally important is the role of its people. A strong organisational culture, effective management practices and employee development are essential to building the consistency and resilience required of a modern manufacturing enterprise. Pussalla’s latest recognition highlights the importance of these underlying strengths in achieving sustainable business performance.

Pussalla Meat Producers Managing Director Dilshan Janaka Wewita said: “The CNCI Achiever Awards recognise more than commercial success. They highlight the organisational capabilities, people, systems and management practices that drive long-term performance. This recognition reflects the collective commitment of our team and strengthens our determination to continue raising the bar for excellence in Sri Lanka’s poultry industry.” 

As Sri Lanka’s poultry industry continues to evolve, Pussalla remains focused on building on its achievements through operational excellence, responsible business practices and continued investment in its capabilities. Its consecutive National Gold Awards represent more than a prestigious accolade; they affirm the importance of maintaining high standards, embracing continuous improvement and strengthening the foundations for long-term industrial growth.

Pussalla Meat Producers Ltd., said the recognition at the CNCI Achiever Awards 2026 marks both a celebration of progress and a renewed commitment to future growth. By combining its established industry experience with a forward-looking approach to integration, innovation and management, the company continues to strengthen its position in Sri Lanka’s poultry sector and contribute to the advancement of the country’s manufacturing industry.
