Driven by a relentless commitment to exceeding customer expectations at every touchpoint, these values strongly resonate with our own as we introduce a new era for the BMW brand in Sri Lanka.”
BMW Group Asia Managing Director Rene Gerhard said: “Sri Lanka is an important market to BMW Group Asia, with a longstanding appreciation for premium mobility and craftsmanship. Following the reopening of luxury vehicle imports, we are pleased to appoint Mels Automobiles as our official Importer and Dealer Partner, marking a new chapter for our brand in the country. This decision underscores our confidence in the market’s long-term potential and our intent to grow responsibly.”
Mels Automobiles Chief Executive Officer Anushka Polonowita said: “This is both a privilege and a responsibility. Our vision is to restore, strengthen, and grow BMW’s presence in Sri Lanka through the highest standards of customer experience, technical excellence, and brand stewardship.”
During the transition period, existing BMW customers can be assured of uninterrupted service and support. Until the formal transition is completed, Prestige Automobiles Ltd., will continue to serve all BMW clients with the same level of care and professionalism they have demonstrated in the past. Melstacorp PLC and Mels Automobiles Ltd., will work closely with Prestige Automobiles Ltd., to ensure a seamless transition, with continuity of service and customer satisfaction remaining the highest priority.
