RAJARATA TILES CONQUERS GLOBAL CLAY ROOF TILES MARKET

Samson Rajarata Tiles – a subsidiary of DSI Samson Group – is one of Sri Lanka’s largest family owned conglomerates with a rich history spanning over 50 years; it has now spread its legacy across the global earthenware market.

Specialised in manufacturing and marketing world-class varied clay (terra cotta) products through its Rajarata brand, the company offers an array of products – such as clay roofing, flooring, and wall tiles in various shapes, sizes, colours and textures – to international clients in addition to the local market.

In a short period of over two decades, Rajarata Tiles’ commitment to quality has earned its product portfolio a formidable stake in many European, Middle Eastern and Asian markets – including Dubai, India, the Maldives and the global manufacturing powerhouse China.

Although it is a challenging marketplace, China’s growing wealth, changing demographics and economic transformation continue to create opportunities for developing countries. The company is the first Sri Lankan business to export roof tiles to China – the world’s largest and most complex consumer market for physical goods.

With the company’s impeccable product quality maintained throughout business relationships of over a decade that continues to remain strong, Rajarata Tiles has exported over seven million tiles to the UK’s earthenware market; and it is a trusted name in the UK’s construction marketplace.

Rajarata Tiles has exported over 300,000 clay roof tiles to the country’s regional peer the Maldives, which enabled the company to bring in millions of dollars to the country in one year.

As the country is grappling with diminishing foreign exchange reserves and the most severe economic crisis it has seen, the importance of boosting the export sector is highlighted more than ever before. A strong export basket would undoubtedly be a catalytic driver in stimulating the economy.

Against such a backdrop, Rajarata Tiles’ export efforts and greater value additions are not only commendable but deemed necessary.

Customers of Rajarata Tiles acquire a superior product for their investment, and receive comprehensive customer service in the form of technical assistance and maintenance advice from its in-house experts throughout the process – i.e. before, during and after laying roof tiles.

As a testimony to the above par excellence of Rajarata Tiles, the company has earned SLS 2:2016 quality certification, and obtained Green Label certification for manufacturing roofing tiles and bricks.

Following the success of clay tiles, Rajarata Tiles recently diversified its product portfolio to garden products. Urban gardening is sweeping through residential and commercial buildings in cities, in response to environmental consciousness or the need to produce fresh, local and organic food at home.

With the brand name Pochchi, Rajarata Tiles offers a variety of pots made mainly out of clay, and other eco-friendly materials, clay pebbles and self watering terracotta spikes that ensure the plants always have sufficient moisture when you’re away.

It’s also the first Sri Lankan company to export eco-friendly gardening solutions to countries such as the US and Germany.

Following the success of Rajarata Tiles’ export strategy, the company is confident that Pochchi is also following the same growth trajectory

Having established its credentials as a reputed brand in both domestic and international markets, the company invites local buyers to rely on Rajarata Tiles for their clay roofing, flooring and wall tiles requirements.
