Textile purchasing | Salusala gets priority

23 Oct 2020

By Sarah Hannan Minister of Industries Wimal Weerawansa, in line with the Government’s new industry and trade policies, proposed to consider Lanka Salusala Ltd. for textile purchasing to promote the institution.  “We are encouraging state organisations to consider Lanka Salusala Ltd. as a purchasing agent in the coming months when they are to purchase materials to tailor uniforms, supply necessary curtains for the state institutes, etc.” Weerawansa explained. During Monday’s (19) cabinet decision announcements, it was announced that a 15% purchasing priority will be given to Lanka Salusala Ltd. against the other procumbent agencies. Furthermore, a study is to be conducted by the Ministry to understand the demands for textiles in public sector institutions and create business partnerships between the local textile manufactures and the institutions, thus creating new business opportunities. The plan is to work in synergy with the five-year project plan that has been devised by the Government to improve local industries as well as the market share for locally produced goods within the country itself.
