The company also featured the DOMA CTP 20 DE double-elevator rice milling machine.

Meanwhile, Kanadara showcased traditional Sri Lankan rice varieties alongside other locally produced agricultural products, highlighting the importance and value of locally sourced goods.

A representative of Markspen Group said the exhibition provided an opportunity to demonstrate how technology, local enterprise and agriculture can work together to create more efficient and future-ready businesses.

Through its participation at ProFood ProPack & Ag-Biz 2026, Markspen Group highlighted its continued focus on bringing together technology, agricultural expertise and local production to support the evolving needs of Sri Lanka’s food and agriculture sectors.

Ceylinco Life hosted its most valued policyholders and their families to an exclusive viewing experience of the Kandy Esala Perahera, organised by the Company’s Customer Relations Division as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen relationships with its premium clientele.

Held at the Ceylinco Life Kandy Branch on King Street, the annual event coincided with the second Randoli Perahera, giving guests an opportunity to experience one of Sri Lanka’s most celebrated cultural traditions from a prime vantage point.

An Exclusive Perahera Experience

As the majestic procession made its way through the streets of Kandy, guests enjoyed VIP seating that offered an up-close view of the vibrant colours, movement and grandeur of the Perahera.

The evening provided Ceylinco Life with an opportunity to express its appreciation to its premium policyholders while creating a memorable experience for them and their families.

The occasion extended beyond the Perahera itself, with guests welcomed with evening refreshments followed by an exclusive dinner buffet prepared by Amaya Hills Resort.

Celebrating Families and Relationships

Families remained at the heart of the event, with a private movie theatre experience providing entertainment for both children and adults. Each attending family also received a beautifully framed family photograph as a personalised keepsake, capturing a shared moment against the backdrop of one of Sri Lanka’s most cherished cultural celebrations.

Beyond providing an exclusive opportunity to witness the Kandy Perahera, the event served as an expression of appreciation for Ceylinco Life’s valued policyholders.

Through its ongoing Customer Relationship Management initiatives, Ceylinco Life continues to create experiences that recognise its premium customers not merely as policyholders, but as valued relationships that the Company seeks to celebrate and nurture.
