The prestigious NCQP Awards 2024, organised by the Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Quality and Productivity (SLAAQP), was held at Mount Lavinia Hotel recently. It brought together industry leaders, professionals and innovators to discuss and celebrate advancements in quality and productivity. 

Held under the theme ‘A Quest for Quality, Productivity, and Innovation’ this year, one of the highlights of NCQP 2024 was the Quality Circle competition, which showcased the efforts of non-executive employees from various reputed organisations to enhance productivity. It was in this event that the team from Laugfs Rubber earned their Gold award, securing them an opportunity to represent Sri Lanka at the upcoming International Convention on Quality Control Circles (ICQCC) 2024, a global event.

Commenting on the achievement, Laugfs Rubber Chief Executive Officer Chinthaka Wegapitiya said, “We are incredibly honoured to receive this award and I wish to congratulate our team.
