Singhagiri and EWIS partner to break boundaries with first Lankan-manufactured TV

Singhagiri (Pvt) Ltd together with Sri Lanka’s first-ever Original Device/Equipment Manufacturer, EWIS Colombo Limited (ECL) launched SGL Android Smart TV at JAIC Hilton recently.

The launch marks the fruition of an agreement signed earlier this year, authorizing EWIS Colombo Limited (ECL) to produce TVs under the Singhagiri banner.  
The EWIS factory in Sooriyawewa completed the manufacture of the first batch of Android Smart TVs recently. The TV bearing Singhagiri’s flagship brand SGL, is available at all Singhagiri showrooms with a comprehensive SGL and EWIS warranty. The TVs come with essential local and international apps such as Teams, Zoom and more. 

The partnership agreement signed on March 9 by Singhagiri (Pvt) Ltd CEO, Maheshi Anandasiri and EWIS Colombo Limited (ECL) Chairman, Sanjeewa Wickramanayake marks a breakthrough in Sri Lankan manufacturing history as the first initiative taken to revitalize the country’s lagging economy while improving the prospects for local industry. The monumental project is expected to empower the local workforce while promising the Sri Lankan consumer a locally manufactured high-quality product. 
Singhagiri and EWIS hope that this bold step to manufacture and assemble quality televisions, using locally sourced material, would validate the ‘made in Sri Lanka’ tag. The competitively priced SGL TV presents an ideal homegrown alternative to local consumers deprived of the privilege of imported electronic and electrical goods.
