Architect 2022 is Sri Lanka’s most prestigious architectural trade exhibition organised by the Sri Lanka Institute of Architects (SLIA). The exhibition was held from February 24 to 27, 2022, at the BMICH. The showcase is known for highlighting the latest trends of the building trade. 

Macksons Paint was recognised for having the Best Trade Stall with Innovative Use of Colour, out of over 170 trade stalls set up by over 100 companies. 

Macksons Group CEO Shimmer Milfer commented, “We are honoured to have been recognised with this award for innovative use of colour. Proudly Sri Lankan, yet renowned globally for international quality products, Multilac has always been at the forefront of innovation. We strive for perfection and in everything we do and that is why our Multilac paints have dominated both local and international markets. I would like to thank SLIA for being enthusiastic supporters of our paints; we can think of no higher endorsement than when on the ground practitioners recommend our paints to be used for various residential and commercial projects.”
