EWIS Colombo Recognized Among Sri Lanka’s Best Workplaces for the Fourth Consecutive Year

EWIS Colombo Limited (ECL), the country’s trailblazing Original Device Manufacturer (ODM), has once again secured its place among Sri Lanka’s 15 Best Workplaces in the Manufacturing & Production sector for the fourth consecutive year, a recognition awarded by Great Place to Work® Sri Lanka. This milestone not only highlights EWIS’s steadfast commitment to employee well-being and workplace excellence but also underscores the broader impact of the EWIS Group in shaping Sri Lanka’s digital future.

Founded in 1986, EWIS Group has evolved into one of Sri Lanka’s foremost technology solutions providers, with a rich legacy of over three decades driving transformation across key sectors such as Government, Education, Healthcare, Banking & Finance, and Manufacturing. With a portfolio that includes subsidiaries like E-W Information Systems Ltd., EWIS Solutions, EWIS Peripherals, EWIS Career Training, Toppan Forms Colombo, and Ewis Colombo Limited, the Group continues to lead from the front in delivering integrated, future-ready IT solutions.

At the heart of EWIS’ manufacturing excellence is Ewis Colombo Limited, the country’s only ODM, operating a state-of-the-art production facility in Sooriyawewa, Hambantota. This cutting-edge factory is equipped with advanced manufacturing technology and stringent quality control systems, enabling high-precision assembly and testing processes. The facility is not only ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified, but all devices produced conform to internationally recognized standards such as CE, FCC, and RoHS. Emphasizing continuous training and development, EWIS invests heavily in upskilling its workforce to meet global benchmarks in quality and performance. This strong focus on excellence ensures that every product—from laptops and tablets to smartboards, TVs, and All-in-One PCs—meets the highest international standards. ECL stands as a symbol of homegrown innovation, precision, and quality.

This year marks a turning point for the Group as it steps into the global marketplace—Sri Lankan-manufactured EWIS laptops have officially entered the African market. This historic move not only marks Sri Lanka’s debut in tech exports but also reinforces EWIS’ commitment to showcasing local talent and manufacturing capabilities on the world stage.

The Great Place to Work® recognition awarded to ECL is based on rigorous employee feedback and independent organizational culture assessments. The fact that both manufacturing arms of EWIS (EWIS Colombo Limited and Toppan forms Colombo Limited) have made it to this prestigious list reaffirms the Group’s commitment to a people-first ethos.

“Our employees are the driving force behind our innovation and success,” said Sanjeewa Wickramanayake Chairman/CEO at EWIS Colombo Limited. “This recognition is a celebration of our inclusive culture, continuous learning opportunities, and a shared purpose to build a digitally empowered Sri Lanka.”

Empowering Communities Through Technology – EWIS remains deeply rooted in its mission to make information technology accessible and affordable across the country. With a strong focus on rural employment and empowering women in tech, the company fosters a culture that blends professional development with social impact. Its experience working with industry giants like Intel, Microsoft, and IBM has enabled the development of cutting-edge solutions tailored to the unique needs of local industries.

Looking Ahead – As EWIS forges ahead, its focus remains firmly on innovation, global expansion, and sustainability. The Group is investing in research and development to diversify its product offerings, expand its export footprint, and deepen its role in national development. Environmental responsibility and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are also central to the Group’s strategic vision. 

Initiatives such as “Mawubimata Danum Sathkara” demonstrate EWIS’ dedication to bridging the digital divide and uplifting underserved communities through knowledge and technology.

“We are not just building devices; we are building dreams,” added Sanjeewa Wickramanayake. “Our journey is far from over. With every milestone, we renew our commitment to excellence, integrity, and inclusive growth.”
