ACL CABLES PLC | ANNUAL REPORT 2023/24

ACL Cables PLC is proud to be Sri Lanka's largest electric cable manufacturer, and as pioneers of the industry, throughout six decades in the field, refined our craft to become a specialized manufacturer and supplier of the widest range of quality cables and conductors in Sri Lanka.

In the year under review, we have taken a bold step towards promoting and ensuring energy conservation, with the introduction of our brand new energy-saving cable range and with our focused efforts to take on the competition in chosen markets, and remain inventive, incredible and invincible throughout trials and tribulations.

As we set our sights on the future of the planet, of society and of our company, we recognize with responsibility our entrenched duty towards streamlining energy consumption in service of a brighter tomorrow, and we acknowledge with pride our privileged position in transforming the norms of energy consumption within Sri Lanka.

With that responsibility firmly placed at the centre of our operations, we reflect on a

year spent powering the future and wire ourselves in position at the top of

the industry in the years to come.
