The name Atlas, conjures much nostalgia, many memories and so much love amongst young and not so young homes, schools, offices and communities across Sri Lanka. Many successful professionals and entrepreneurs look back in life to acknowledge that Atlas played a critical and inspirational role in their journey of success.
It is therefore a fitting accolade that Atlas, the market leader in school and office stationery in Sri Lanka, has been conferred with the honour of being ranked No. 1 as Sri Lanka’s ‘Most Loved Brand’ amongst a plethora of brands across multiple categories in 2017.
This ranking and compilation was based on a research carried out by Brand Finance and presented by Media Services, publisher of the business magazine LMD. As stated in the LMD “The research study involved 1700 respondents in Colombo and Gampaha and the survey was conducted in October and November 2016.”
