AkzoNobel -one of the leading paints and coatings companies in the world and the manufacturer of Dulux paints in Sri Lanka- has unveiled its latest initiative, “Pintharu Pranama”, to celebrate and honour its invaluable painter community across the island.

Hosted at the Water’s Edge Hotel on 18th September, the prestigious recognition event brought together talented painters across the country. The occasion served a dual purpose: expressing deep gratitude for the community’s vital role in driving AkzoNobel’s growth and rewarding their unwavering dedication and loyalty to the Dulux brand.

“Without the expertise, craftsmanship, and dedication of our painter community, bringing the true quality and beauty of Dulux products to life would not be possible,” commented Mr Amila Indika, Managing Director of AkzoNobel Paints Lanka (Pvt) Ltd. “AkzoNobel has always valued the contribution of all of its painters, and through “Pintharu Pranama, we hope to convey Dulux’s immense gratitude as well as continued commitment to recognising, appreciating, and empowering this community. More importantly, we want to create opportunities that contribute to building better lives and brighter futures for our painter community and their families”

The event provided attendees with exclusive previews of upcoming product launches, promotional campaigns, and Phase 2 updates for the Dulux Painter App. Demonstrating the brand’s commitment to its stakeholders’ long-term welfare and safety, the evening culminated in awarding comprehensive insurance coverage to the top 50 premium painters and their families.

As a testament to the value AkzoNobel attributes to its valuable stakeholders’ welfare, financial growth, safety, and personal well-being, the company has a history of introducing several appreciation events, engagement initiatives, and opportunities to reward and provide additional benefits to enhance both the personal and professional lives of its hardworking and talented painters.

These various programs demonstrate Dulux’s continued commitment to attaching meaningful value to its painter community, as a means for the brand to strengthen its partnership with its employees and continue growing together with the community that has played such a crucial role in its success.

By continuing to invest in its most crucial partners, Dulux reinforces a shared journey toward growth, excellence, and sustainable success. “Pintharu Pranama” stands as a testament to this enduring relationship—a milestone that honors past achievements while paving the way for a brighter, more prosperous future together.
