‘Quarella’ marble and quartz surfaces from Italy has taken the flooring concepts in Sri Lanka to a wholly new level. For, it is no secret anymore that such quality and durable flooring along with the benefit of aesthetic value as well, is capable by itself to turn the image of an entire building into a wholly sophisticated entity. With Quarella being recognised as a proven brand for indoor as well as outdoor flooring which gives that desired effect in ample measure, its authorised dealer in Sri Lanka Mercantile Fortunes Ltd felt time was opportune to invite an expert from the parent company in Italy, in order to offer their own staff, the local and foreign architects, dealers and contractors the benefit of gleaning valuable info from him, to further their knowledge on the subject.

Accordingly, Quarella’s Director Commercial David Oloughin from Italy was in Sri Lanka to share his expertise with the local stakeholders. The managerial and technical staff of Mercantile Fortunes Ltd enjoyed the benefit of obtaining his insight and technical knowhow with regards to every relevant aspect of successfully launching and completing a project; right from the point of selecting the precise flooring material to transporting them to the site, laying and ensuring proper finishing work as well. Mercantile Fortunes Ltd Managing Director Gerard Ondaatjie emphasised the significance of selecting a world renown brand like Quarella, saying, “It’s a brand high in demand all over the world where highly patronised airports, shopping malls, hotels, companies as well as residencies of iconic individuals etc are adorned with Quarella as a matter of choice. With Sri Lanka’s highly active construction industry in full flow now spreading over to hospitality industry, commercial buildings, hospitals and residencies etc, we made the right decision to provide them with this world renowned brand to ensure that perfect flooring is available to them. The product and international market awareness sessions Mr. David Oloughin conducted were a source of great knowledge for all concerned as he gave proof and details of the latest trends of the world.” Mercantile Fortunes Ltd. Director Sunandana Mudannayake explained thus: “Mr. David Oloughin’s product knowledge and technical expertise are a great strength for Quarella brand. As Mr. David Oloughin made several site visits to our already completed as well being completed projects where he witnessed our work range in installation of Italian Quarella floors, walls, counter-tops, work-tops and kitchen-tops etc, he took time to imparted his vast knowledge on proper evaluation, installation and applications of internationally recognised brands of adhesive, grouting and finishing methods etc. “Indeed, our marketing team and technical staff were privileged to gather so much of valuable info from him which will help further improve our overall service delivery. Being a market leader in flooring in Sri Lanka at this juncture, these fresh inputs from Mr. David Oloughin will definitely strengthen our entire team in Mercantile Fortunes Ltd to provide our clients an even better service.” Mercantile Fortunes Ltd modern showroom situated opposite the American Embassy in Colombo 3 came in for praise by David Oloughin for its novel informative and educative style of presentation of the product range.
