Sri Lanka becomes What More UK's 75th export market

By Tim Aldred

20 Oct 2020

What More UK now exports to 75 countries around the world after the Altham-based company agreed a deal which will see its plastic products made available to the 20 million inhabitants of Sri Lanka.

This latest announcement comes just weeks after a deal was agreed with Costa Rica

Since 2009, the economy of Sri Lanka has grown by an average of 5.3% each year firmly placing it in the category of Asian Tiger Economy.

Tony Grimshaw, director, said: "British companies have lots of advantages over other countries when it comes to export. For one thing the UK is ideally positioned geographically for export and we have a reputation for building top quality products that are made to last. That's why all our products have prominent British branding with an easily recognisable Made in Britain logo."
