The National Chamber of Exporters of Sri Lanka (NCE) has invited eligible Sri Lankan exporters to submit their applications for the NCE Export Awards 2026, offering businesses an opportunity to gain national recognition for their achievements and contributions to international trade.
Applications for the 34th edition of the NCE Export Awards are now open and will close on September 30, 2026.
As Sri Lanka’s premier national awards programme dedicated to the export sector, the NCE Export Awards has, for more than three decades, recognised companies that have demonstrated resilience and excellence in international markets while making significant contributions to the country’s export economy.
Winning an NCE Export Award also offers companies a valuable platform to showcase their achievements. Award recipients are entitled to use the official winner’s logo, providing a recognised mark of excellence that can be incorporated into corporate communications and promotional materials. Companies may feature the recognition in email signatures and other communications, while many also display the winner’s logo on product packaging to highlight their achievements to customers and business partners.
The value of national recognition also extends beyond the organisation’s external profile. Export success is built on the collective efforts of management and employees across the business. Receiving an NCE Export Award provides senior management with an opportunity to acknowledge these contributions and recognise the dedication of teams involved in building and sustaining the company’s export performance.
SINGER Named Sri Lanka’s Fastest-Growing Brand by Brand Finance
SINGER has been recognised as Sri Lanka’s Fastest-Growing Brand and the Most Valuable Retail (General) Brand in Brand Finance’s Sri Lanka’s Top 100 Most Valuable Brands 2026 rankings.
The company was ranked 14th overall among Sri Lanka’s Top 100 Most Valuable Brands, climbing three places from the previous year. SINGER recorded a brand value of Rs. 13.888 billion and received an AAA- brand rating, reflecting the brand’s strong growth and continued relevance among Sri Lankan consumers.
SINGER Group Managing Director Mahesh Wijewardene said the recognition reflected the enduring trust customers have placed in the brand over generations.
“We are proud to receive this recognition from Brand Finance. SINGER has been a part of Sri Lankan lives for generations, and this achievement reflects the trust our customers continue to place in us. Being recognised both as Sri Lanka’s Fastest-Growing Brand and the Most Valuable Retail (General) Brand is particularly significant as we continue to expand into new categories and strengthen our core business,” Wijewardene said.
In recent years, SINGER has expanded into several new product categories, strategically complementing its established portfolio while enabling the company to serve a broader range of household and business needs.
At the same time, the company has continued to strengthen the key foundations that have built the brand over generations, including its extensive retail network, diverse product range featuring leading international brands, islandwide accessibility and dependable after-sales service.
SINGER is also investing significantly in digital transformation to respond to changing consumer behaviour and the ways in which customers research, shop and interact with brands. These initiatives include omnichannel retailing, AI-driven customer engagement and the increased use of data to enhance marketing and customer experiences.
While technology will play an increasingly important role in the company’s future, SINGER remains focused on combining these digital capabilities with the personalised service and human connection that customers have associated with the brand for generations.
