Rolf Blaser of Baurs named ‘Most Admired CEO of the Year’

Rolf Blaser, CEO and Managing Director of A. Baur & Co. Pvt Ltd. also known as Baurs, a leading conglomerate with diversified business interests among various sectors in the country, was recently bestowed with the ‘Most Admired CEO of the Year 2022’ title in recognition of his visionary leadership, resilience, and growth-innovation mindset inevitably displayed throughout last year despite the many challenges.

Hosted by The CEO Magazine, the 2022 CEO of the Year Awards was held at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo on February 1 and saw the participation of some of the most renowned personalities who steer and drive Sri Lanka’s corporate sector and economy forward. 
Under Blaser’s leadership, Baurs has seen a rapid transformation in its strategic direction with the aim of continuing to be the most sought-after partner among suppliers both locally and internationally, representing well renowned and reputed brands and organisations that have placed their trust in the company for decades, and also as the employer of choice for hundreds of Sri Lankans.

Baurs has raised the bar for being the first in many initiatives that sets the stage for others to follow suit. Very recently and for the first time in Sri Lanka, Baurs introduced a one-of-a-kind child support benefit for all its employees. Celebrating 125 years of progressive innovation and a corporate legacy that is built on its Swiss heritage and value systems, Baurs has evolved to becoming not just the largest private fertiliser company but also a fast-growing name in various sectors.
