Techno 2026 Principal Sponsor Message – Mr. Kushan Kodituwakku, Managing Director (MD), OREL Corporation.
It is my privilege to extend my warmest greetings to the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka, on the occasion of Techno 2026, held under the timely theme, “Engineering for a Resilient Nation.”
Building a resilient nation requires far more than infrastructure and technology. It demands a vibrant engineering ecosystem that transforms ideas into innovation, innovation into industry, and industry into sustainable economic growth. Engineering has always been the foundation of national progress, driving advancements in energy, manufacturing, infrastructure, digital transformation, and environmental sustainability. Techno 2026 provides an invaluable platform for industry, academia, policymakers, researchers, and innovators to collaborate, exchange knowledge, and collectively shape the future of Sri Lanka.
At Orel Corporation, we firmly believe that Sri Lankan engineers possess the talent, creativity, and determination to compete with the very best in the world. Over the years, we have evolved from a manufacturing company into a technology-driven engineering enterprise, undertaking the complete value chain—from research and development, product design, and engineering to advanced manufacturing, testing, validation, and global commercialization—all from Sri Lanka.
Today, products engineered and manufactured by Orel are trusted in international markets across a diverse portfolio, including electrical wiring accessories, lighting solutions, low-voltage switchgear, cables, PVC pipes and fittings, panel boards, and smart electrical technologies. Beyond our own brands, our engineering teams also develop products for leading global OEM partners, demonstrating that engineering excellence nurtured in Sri Lanka consistently meets the highest international standards.
Innovation at Orel extends well beyond products. As we embrace the next industrial revolution, we continue to invest in Artificial Intelligence to optimize business processes, automate workflows, accelerate decision-making, and deliver superior customer experiences. Simultaneously, we are transforming our manufacturing operations through intelligent smart factories that integrate robotics, automation, digital technologies, and data-driven production systems to achieve world-class levels of quality, productivity, and agility.
Sustainability remains central to our long-term vision. Through our investment in advanced Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery manufacturing for energy storage applications, we are contributing to the global transition toward cleaner, more resilient energy systems. This initiative reflects our confidence that sophisticated, future-ready technologies can be researched, engineered, and manufactured in Sri Lanka while serving customers across the world.
For more than four decades, Orel has remained committed to developing engineering talent by creating meaningful career opportunities, partnering with universities, supporting research and innovation, and empowering engineers to contribute to globally competitive technologies. We are proud to demonstrate that engineering excellence cultivated in Sri Lanka can create products and solutions that stand confidently alongside the world’s best.
Our continued partnership with Techno 2026 as the Main Sponsor reflects this enduring commitment to advancing the engineering profession in Sri Lanka. We view this platform not merely as an exhibition, but as an opportunity to share knowledge, foster collaboration, showcase emerging technologies, and engage with the engineering community on the innovations shaping the industries of tomorrow. We firmly believe that when knowledge is shared, innovation accelerates, industries flourish, and nations prosper.
On behalf of Orel Corporation, I congratulate the Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka, on organizing this prestigious event and extend my sincere best wishes for the continued success of Techno 2026. May this important initiative continue to inspire engineering excellence, strengthen collaboration, and contribute meaningfully to Sri Lanka’s journey toward a resilient, innovative, and prosperous future.
