T.C.I. Enterprises (Pvt.) Ltd held a relaunch of its line-up of Dow Corning silicone products in Sri Lanka this week, following one and a half years of partnership.
“They are the world number one. So far, we have got around US $ 300,000 in revenue from Dow Corning products. The demand we’ll have to wait and see,” T.C.I. Group Managing Director Nelu Fernando said.

While Dow Corning produces over 7,000 construction-related products utilizing silicone, its myriad of silicone sealant and bonding formulae have proven popular worldwide.

Fernando said that the almost entirety of Dow Corning’s portfolio is available through T.C.I. Enterprises.

Formed in 1981, T.C.I. Enterprises provides a wide ranging variety of construction materials from world-renowned brands such as Dorstar, Alucobest, Gyproc ICSA and Polyee.

It has been experiencing double digit growth with the construction boom which followed the end of the war. For the financial year 2013/14, the group posted a turnover of Rs.3 billion.

Formed in 1943, Belgium’s Dow Corning Corporation is a market leader in silicone-based applications. It boasts over 40 years of cutting-edge research and innovation in the field.
