DPL Celebrates a Milestone Year with Top Honours at the NBEA 2025

(20 Years of Excellence)

- 

In a moment of celebration for Sri Lankan corporates, Dipped Products PLC (DPL) was honoured with six prestigious awards, including the Overall Gold Award, at the National Business Excellence Awards (NBEA) 2025. A member of the Hayleys Group, DPL has steadily evolved from humble beginnings into a globally respected glove manufacturer and one of the country's most consistent contributors to export growth and industrial progress.

For DPL, this recognition carries added meaning, coinciding with a landmark moment: the company's 50th anniversary. A Sri Lankan success story that began in 1976, DPL has evolved into a global leader in hand protection solutions, exporting to over 70 countries and operating manufacturing and marketing arms across multiple continents.

Over the decades, DPL has not only grown its global presence but has also helped elevate Sri Lanka's reputation for high-value, quality-driven exports. Its contribution to foreign exchange earnings and global market access for Sri Lankan products has been significant, and today, DPL stands as a proud example of what a local company can achieve on the international stage.

"Winning the Overall Gold Award among Sri Lanka's leading businesses is a proud milestone for us," said Pushpika Janadheera, Managing Director of DPL. "It shows that through every challenge, we have stayed true to our core values of protection, sustainability, transparency, quality, and excellence."

The NBEA recognition comes at a time when DPL is accelerating its journey of innovation, expansion, and responsible business. Winning the Overall Gold, Excellence in ESG, Corporate Governance & Strategy, Extra Large Category, and Manufacturing (Other Sector) categories alongside a runner-up award for Excellence in Global Market Reach DPL's performance reflects the company's multidimensional excellence.
