Together, these sectors reflect the group’s contribution to the nation’s economy and its steadfast commitment to growth and sustainability.

Laugfs Rubber’s achievements transcend its own success, symbolising a win for Sri Lanka’s economy. For years, the company has been quietly supporting the nation’s economy forward, creating hundreds of jobs, supporting local suppliers and generating vital foreign revenue during difficult times. Its high-quality industrial solid tyres are exported to over 50 countries across five continents, solidifying Sri Lanka’s reputation for innovation and manufacturing excellence on the global stage.

“Winning the Most Outstanding Exporter of the Year award again is a monumental achievement for Laugfs Rubber,” said Director/CEO Chinthaka Wegapitiya.

These sustainable practices not only align with global trends but also reinforce its role in safeguarding Sri Lanka’s environmental future.

While its accolades in the industrial tyre sector bring international acclaim, Laugfs Rubber’s broader impact cannot be overlooked. Its operations generate employment, boost exports and inspire innovation across industries. As part of the Laugfs group, the company reflects the overarching vision of empowering Sri Lanka’s progress through diversified ventures.

Every tyre produced by Laugfs Rubber tells a story of resilience, innovation and hope. As the company continues to thrive, it demonstrates what Sri Lankan businesses can achieve when they rise to the occasion, not just for themselves but for the nation. Because when Laugfs succeeds, Sri Lanka wins.
