Medical Items This includes hot water bottles , finger exercises and sanipa health slippers. Due to the high competiveness from China, our market was affected. In order to reduce the cost, the Company concentrated more on plastic mouth bottles than on brass mouth bottles. The Company invested a considerable amount for this conversion and received the expected pay back. The rubber hot water bottles are certified with TUVGS, BS, Kite Mark and FSC quality standards. Our hot water bottles earned a significant market share in Europe and Australia. Finger exercises are made from dried natural rubber and recommended by physiotherapists worldwide. The Sanipa health slipper is ideal for reflexology or zone therapy which is an alternative medical therapy involving the physical act of applying pressure to the feet. Food Grade Items The turnover in jar sealing rings has been increasing every year and in the year under review, we increased our turnover by 42% in this segment. We are trying hard to exploit other overseas markets in the coming financial year. We produce jar sealing rings especially for the European market and we have a significant market share in Europe. We produce them in different colours (such as orange, red, green, white and blue), sizes and designs according to customer specifications. We are the only manufacturer in Sri Lanka who could produce jar sealing rings of so many colours. Household & Soldiers Inc.dustry Items This segments include rubber mats and rubber flooring. We sell rubber mats to suit different locations and purposes. Continuous rubber rolls, bath mats, staircase mats, vehicle mats, entrance mats, industry mats and also specialty mats such as fire retardant mats, oil resistant mats, antistatic mats and fabric mats are some of the mats we produce. Now we have a sales growth from the specialty mats such as fire retardant mats, and oil resistant mats and we try to increase the product range. Further Bath mats are doing extremely well. Still there is an untapped market for continuous mats and flooring which we are trying hard to exploit. Rubber flooring tile is an environmental friendly product free of FCC, PVC, Cadmimum and several other harmful substances. The product comes in different sizes and designs such as plain, round stud, square stud, hammer blow and orange peel, etc. The rubber flooring tiles are designed to be installed as a permanent flooring solution which could be laid over on existing flooring. The spring quality of rubber flooring tile makes walking, standing and working on easier. It also reduces the risk of injuries which can be caused by standing on hard flooring for extended periods of time. Rubber flooring is specially designed for the purpose of easing the strain on the feet and legs and is also called “Anti- Fatigue flooring”. Rubber flooring is also a static control method, due to its nonconductive properties. Static control floors are often installed on floors which deal with electronic items and equipment, as static electricity can damage or ruin electronic components. We also produce garden hoses of high quality. Other Products Other products include automotive accessories, beadings, footwear components and other items which do not belong to the above three categories. We produce a wide range of automotive products ranging from extruded and moulded rubber components such as solid rubber profiles, sponge rubber profiles, co-extruded profiles, flock profiles, rings, support rings, gaskets, bumpers, truck strings, road humps and braided air and fuel hoses. We also produce a wide range of beadings of different designs and length. The highest turnover was recorded in this segment. Beading has a lot of potential and is still untapped. Rubbers hoses have not yet become very competitive due to substitute PVC imported products.
