Browns’ Battery and Tyres raced ahead of the competition at the SLIM National Sales Awards 2025 by securing several wins at Sri Lanka’s renowned sales excellence platform, the only national-level awards dedicated to recognising the country’s key performing professionals.
This year, Browns’ Battery and Tyres charged the Automotive/Frontliners category with two victories: Chandima Ruwan claimed Gold, while Prabodha Pathum bagged a Bronze, reaffirming the team’s unwavering drive and passion. The winning streak powered on with Nuwan Sameera earning a Merit in the Automotive/Territory category and Dulan Tennakoon securing another Merit accolade in the Corporate Sales/Frontliners segment, further highlighting Browns’ Battery and Tyres’ legacy of excellence.
Brown and Company PLC Chief Operating Officer – Automotive and Hardware Cluster Ajith De Silva said: “We continue to empower our sales staff by using a holistic approach, training and enhancing their knowledge of the latest trends and technical innovations, while creating a conducive environment that ignites their passion, motivates them beyond their comfort zones, and helps them push the boundaries of their personal best. It is with this assurance that I can confidently say that the Browns’ Battery and Tyre Sales Team is a force to be reckoned with in the automotive sector. Despite many challenges, they have consistently achieved top-line sales in our business unit during the year under review.”
With a heritage that spans over one-and-a-half centuries, Browns has long been a pioneer in Sri Lanka’s automotive battery market. The Company’s 150-year anniversary which was celebrated earlier this year, stands as a testament to its journey which began in the 1920s with the import of Silver Exide batteries from the United Kingdom. This later paved the way for the partnership between Exide Industries India and British Batteries in establishing Sri Lanka’s first lead-acid battery manufacturing plant in 1960, Associated Battery Manufacturers Ceylon Ltd.
