Anverally and Sons wins Bronze

Anverally and Sons (Pvt) Ltd., one of Sri Lanka’s oldest and most respected exporters of tea, received the Export Brand of the Year – Bronze award at the 2020 Brand Excellence Awards presented by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM).

The award was conferred on the company’s export brand ‘Al-Otuor’ – a distinctive Earl Grey flavoured tea ranked No 1 in several Middle Eastern markets including Iraq and Libya, and believed to be popular for its strong fragrance, as borne out by its name, which translates to fragrance. The company said the flavour of the tea is customised exclusively for the brand, making it a unique product.

This is the ninth occasion that Anverally & Sons was honoured at the SLIM Brand Excellence awards.

Commenting on this achievement, the company’s chairman Mohamed Anverally said: “We are honoured to be a consistent winner at these awards. The concluded year was one of many challenges especially for exporters, with disruptions of production, logistics issues and the lockdowns in many overseas markets. Our ability to retain our market leadership in key markets speaks to the consistency in the quality of our products as well as the consumer loyalty we have built for the brands.”
