Würth Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd – the leader in motor vehicle and construction industry aftermarket products and solutions – moved its head office to a spacious new location at No: 375/B, High Level Road, Makumbura, Pannipitiya in order to support its rapidly growing business operations. 

A high-level delegation from Würth Germany was present at the opening ceremony of the new premises recently and included chief guest Würth Group Advisory Board Chairwoman Bettina Würth, Würth Group Central Managing Board Deputy Chairman Peter Zürn, Executive Vice President Bernd Herrmann, Deputy Executive Vice President Ralf Lagerbauer, Executive Vice President Reiner Bürkert and Assistant to Bettina Würth Dietmar Beyer. 

“Sri Lanka is an important and growing market for Würth Group. We are happy with the progress being made by the Würth team over the past few years. Their efforts have led to a rapid growth in business operations which has resulted in the dire need for a new and more spacious location and will be fulfilled by this beautifully designed new premises,” said Würth.

“We would like to wish all success to Rohan and his team at Würth Lanka in taking Würth to the next level in terms of business volumes as well as employee growth,” she added. 

“The spacious new office, which has been purpose-designed and laid-out by experts in the field, helps to improve efficiency in our rapidly growing operations. It provides ample space for staff as well as secure storage of Würth inventory,” said Würth Lanka (Pvt.) Ltd Managing Director Rohan Amirthiah.
The new Würth Lanka premises situated along High Level Road in the fast-growing suburb of Pannipitiya is easily accessible to customers as well as the dealer network to obtain their necessary inventory for resale and distribution to every nook and corner of the country. Ample parking space within the head office premises makes it easier and convenient for both customers as well as dealers to park and obtain their necessary inventories within a very short period of time which helps to improve efficiency. 

“Our decision to move into a more spacious and conveniently accessible location was spurred from the rapid growth for our products and solutions over the last several years. As we plan to expand our product and solutions portfolio, the new premises with its many positive attributes will be critical in achieving our goals,” he added.

More products and solutions from Würth’s extensive range of products and solutions suitable for the Sri Lankan market have been identified to be launched in the Sri Lankan market which will require additional space for additional employees as well as additional storage facilities. The new premises will also cater to the requirements of the planned growth in the Würth dealer network as well.
