Sri Lanka Ceramics & Glass Council

The apex body for consensus building among all parties in ceramics Industry

STAY IN TOUCH

The roots of the ceramics industry in Sri Lanka are deep seated and can be traced far back into the country’s history. The diverse cultural influences and rich physical resources have resulted in the local industry delivering ceramic ware with unmatched quality to the rest of the world. With the sole interest of strengthening the image of the world renowned Sri Lankan ceramics, the Sri Lanka Ceramics Council (SLACC) incorporated under the Companies Act, No. 17 of 1982 on November 19, 2003 was officially launched on February 11, 2004 under the aegis of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce.

SLACC today, is undeniably the richest forum of industry representatives in the island. The Council is the culmination of the Ceramic Industry Cluster which was formed in 2001 with the support of The Competitiveness Initiative (TCI) of the USAID. The Cluster was initiated to devise a unified, industry-wide strategy for competitiveness. It was a forum representative of the entire industry and was a special forum for examining and representing the interests and needs of the entire industry with its membership from across the industry value chain.

The Ceramics Cluster was composed of representatives from manufacturers and suppliers from the industry, government agencies, universities, research and development organizations, the President of the Sri Lanka Association of Ceramic Manufacturers & Exporters (SLACME) and former executives of the ceramic industry. As energy is a major cost component of the industry, two major energy supplying companies participated in the activities initiated by the Cluster. In 2013, the Council changed its name from the Sri Lanka Ceramics Council to the Sri Lanka Ceramics and Glass Council
