Amritha Incense Sticks, a leader and pioneer in the locally produced incense stick market, manufactured and distributed by Darley Butler and Company Limited has achieved a historic milestone by acquiring Sri Lanka Standards (SLS) Certification.

This certification guarantees that Amritha Incense Sticks are manufactured in compliance with the highest safety, quality and environmental standards set by the Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLSI).

Established in 2011, Amritha has played a pivotal role in the transformation of locally produced incense sticks, through unique fragrances and high-quality incense sticks at affordable prices.

“We are the first manufacturer of incense sticks to obtain SLS Certification, a testament to our commitment to safety and high quality,” said Darley Butler and Company Limited Director Sanjeewa Gunawardena.

“This certification will help reassure customers that our products are of the highest quality, whilst also helping to add credibility to the brand, as we look to expand further into the overseas markets, whilst currently exporting Amritha to the UK, France, Germany, Italy, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.”

SLS Certification will help Amritha gain even more export opportunities, as it is recognized worldwide as a symbol of quality and safety. This achievement is not only important for the Company but also to the Sri Lankan incense stick industry, as this sets a benchmark for other local manufacturers to strive to achieve.

Darley Butler & Company Limited established in the year 1948, is one of Sri Lanka’s oldest continuously operating companies. In 2023, the Company celebrates 175 years of dedicated service, innovation and support toward the economy of our country.
