• New sponsorship unveiled in Kandy

Swisstek Ceylon PLC, a leading name in fixing, finishing, and beautification in the construction industry, has stepped onto the rugby field as the Official Sponsor of the Vidyartha College, Kandy First XV Rugby Team for the 2025 season. 

The team recently debuted their new jerseys, featuring Swisstek’s iconic brand at a special ceremony in Colombo. 

Swisstek is well known for its unwavering dedication to quality and standards in its products and practices, where the brand promise ‘For the Perfect Finish’ is emphasised. 

Recognising that its success is built on the support of the society it serves, Swisstek believes it is time to give back to the community that has been instrumental in its journey to industry leadership. True to its brand of striving for perfection, the company believes that a truly ‘perfect’ society can be built by nurturing the next generation.  

To this end, Swisstek sees sport as a powerful platform to instil resilience, discipline, and teamwork among young people, moulding them into well-rounded individuals and future leaders.   

Swisstek Ceylon Assistant Manager Marketing Sithira Karunathilaka said: “As a company founded on the principles of excellence and integrity, we are committed not only to delivering the perfect finish in the spaces we transform but also to helping build a better, stronger society. Our collaboration with Vidyartha College rugby is a natural extension of that belief. 

“Rugby is a sport with a long and proud tradition at Vidyartha College, one that has consistently produced national-level talent. Through this programme, we aim to empower young athletes, celebrate tenacity and sportsmanship, and contribute towards creating a future generation of ‘perfect’ human beings – leaders of tomorrow.”  

Speaking at the event, Rugby Development Board President Ranjith Weerasinghe said: “Having a prestigious partner like Swisstek by our side this season is an honour. The company’s assistance will significantly improve the performance and morale of our team. This partnership represents a dedication to developing disciplined, well-rounded individuals on and off the field, not just a sponsorship.”  

Swisstek’s commitment to school sports forms part of a long-term strategy to inspire and uplift the next generation through strategic partnerships. 

This initiative represents the first step in Swisstek’s broader vision: to shape a better society, one built on the same standards of perfection and integrity that have made the company a leader in its field.
