Ceylon Leather Products PLC (CLPL) or Di as it is popularly known, has successfully completed the stringent audit process and obtained the ISO 9001:2015 certification for its quality management systems across its operations, a company spokesman said.
He said that it was the first Sri Lankan leather product and footwear manufacturing organisation to be ISO 9001:2015 certified.
Chief Executive Officer, Ceylon Leather Products PLC, Sajeewa Ranasinghe said, “Being ISO 9001:2015 certified cements the fact that CLPL pays constant attention to quality assurance through the systems and processes we have implemented across all business processes.
“We are not only proud of our achievement, but also recognize the importance of providing our customers with quality offerings, in an era where they have a plethora of choices to choose from. CLPL has stood the test of time and will continue to transform the way the company does business in ensuring quality is maintained and not compromised, across its business,” he said.
The pioneer in processing and manufacturing of leather, leather footwear (for gents, ladies and children) and leather products (such as bags, belts and accessories), Ceylon Leather Products PLC was incorporated in 1939 by the then British Government to manufacture boots, shoes and accessories for the British Armed Forces.
Over the years, this organisation has been through several transformations.
