Lakmee Exports Lanka launch six new salt products
Lakmee Exports Lanka (Pvt) Ltd., announced the launch of six salt products under the Lakmee Lagoon Salt Company.
Branded as ‘Lakmee Lagoon Salt’, the products were introduced in a move to make locally processed high quality salt available to Sri Lankan consumers at an affordable price.
‘’Until recently, there were cheap Indian salt products available in the market. After purchasing shares from a salt company in Puttalam, we established a new company to introduce locally processed, pure, high quality salt with no artificial additives for a reasonable price under the ‘Lakmee Lagoon Salt’ brand”, says Ushan Udumulla, founding chairman of Lakmee Exports Lanka
“As a company pursuing a dream of becoming the leading food processing entity in the country, we introduced ‘Dadayam Batta’ soya meat with no artificial flavours or added clourings”, he added.
Having started as a small business of consumer products with just 5kgs of soya meat in 2008 at Thalawa in Anuradhapura district Lakmee Exports Lanka saw tremendous progress within a short span of time. Today, the company’s product range includes 55 consumer items such as soya meat, spices, sauces and instant foods.
The company has obtained ISO 1400:2015 and ISO 22000: 2005 quality certifications and many accolades including ‘The Brand of the Year’ award for the popular product ‘Dadayam Batta’ soya meat at SLIM Brand Excellence-2018, SED Gold award in 2014, ACCA Entrepreneurship Gold Award – 2014 and Great Place to Work.
