Dipped Products PLC (DPL) has been named the Overall Winner – Most Outstanding Exporter 2025 at the prestigious National Chamber of Exporters (NCE) Export Awards, securing five major accolades and reaffirming its position as one of Sri Lanka’s leading export manufacturers.
In addition to the top national honour, DPL received the Gold Award in the Rubber and Rubber Products Sector – Extra Large Category. The company was also recognised with three Special Awards for Highest Net Foreign Exchange Earner, Best Performing Exporter in Emerging Markets, and Recognition of Persons with Disabilities in the Export Sector.
The awards highlight DPL’s consistent export performance, strong governance, and its growing presence across global markets. With a footprint spanning over 70 countries, the company manufactures a wide range of Hand Protection solutions serving industrial, medical, chemical, household and electrical sectors.
