    MARANGONI AND CEYLON STEEL CORPORATION: PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT IN SRI LANKA

    The plant will produce tyres using Marangoni’s best European technologies.

    Rovereto – Marangoni and Ceylon Steel Corporation announce the signing of a partnership agreement related to the creation of an important production site in Sri Lanka. The plant will produce tyres using the most advanced technologies provided by Marangoni within the scope of a joined project to build an important rubber industrial district in Sri Lanka, focused on export activities.

    The operation is included in the sales process of the Marangoni Tyre S.p.A. equipment and know how. Marangoni Tyre S.p.A ended its production activities in 2014 after the Group decision to exit from the car and light tyres business. This new partnership agreement could lead to the development of further collaboration plans.

    “Contrary to what was reported in several recent articles, the possible 75 million dollar investment in Sri Lanka only involves Marangoni indirectly,” the Italian firm said. “The news, in fact, does not refer to the industrial tyre segment but rather to a hypothetical transfer of technology to a Sri Lanka-based investor–Ceylon Steel Corporation–discussed as part of a possible joint venture in the passenger car tyre sector.”

    Ceylon Steel Corporation (CSC) is owned by Mr Lokuvithana. Marangoni has been operating its own industrial tyre manufacturing facilities in Sri Lanka since 2008. But six years later, the company suspended passenger car tyre production in Europe and has now begun negotiations to sell its production plants to CSC.

    The Marangoni plant in Sri Lanka was opened when production capacity at its original Rovereto site in Italy was no longer sufficient. The location of the plant “has allowed the company to exploit the possibility to enter and supply its products to new international markets”, the statement said.

    Sri Lanka seeks Indian state help for major IT push

    Jan 08, 2017 20:08 PM GMT+0530 | 0 Comment(s)

    ECONOMYNEXT - Chief minister of India's Andhra Pradesh said Sunday that Sri Lanka sought help from his southern state to adopt internet-based technologies for a major energy saving and water management drive.

    Chandrababu Naidu said he discussed with President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe about enhancing cooperation to improve Sri Lanka's service delivery using the internet.

    "There were two immediate projects identified," he told reporters in Colombo. "One is how to go for LED bulbs, replacing all traditional street lamps with LED bulbs and control them from a single command centre."

    "The second is ground water management and real-time (water) meter reading. These two can be done immediately."

    He said his state government and Sri Lanka agreed to appoint top officials to implement computerisation of public services which have changed little in Sri Lanka since the island won independence from Britain in 1948.

    Naidu, who is known as a tech-savvy politician, was invited as chief guest at official celebrations Sunday marking the second anniversary of Sirisena's victory at January 2015 presidential elections.

    The Indian leader said he was also keen to learn from Sri Lanka's successful garment and tourism industries and invited investments from Sri Lanka.

    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Sri Lanka in March 2015, but visits by Indian regional leaders are rare.

    However, the new government of President Sirisena has been keen to forge closer ties with southern states in India and local officials said the invitation to Naidu was in keeping with that shift in policy.

    Sri Lankan businessman will be first to invest in Hambantota zone: PM

    Posted on January 9, 2017 | Featured, Lead Story, Real Estate &

    Jan 09, 2017 (LBO) – A Sri Lankan investor will be the first businessman investing in the proposed Hambantota economic zone, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said.

    Wickramasinghe told Parliament today they have discussed development plans worth 5,000 million dollars in the area.

    “First investment will come from a Sri Lankan. It’s for a cement plant in Hambantota,” Wickremesinghe said.

    He said China has pledged other investments such as an oil refinery, LNG power plant, dockyard and another cement plant.

    “We are currently discussing with US and Arab companies to set up another oil refinery there.”

    The joint opposition and the JVP have protested against the land acquisition, insisting on the use of existing land allocated for the factories.

    A special committee has also been set up to decide on the acquisition of lands for the proposed zone which includes former Speaker and Parliamentarian Chamal Rajapaksa.

    “There is already a land allocated for this purpose by the previous government,” Rajapaksa told Parliament.

    “If it is not sufficient it is possible to get more suitable lands without harming people in that area.”

    Rajapaksa also requested Prime Minister to consider the agreement entered in 2014 between SLPA and China Habour Company which deals with transferring only operations of the port to a new firm.

    Responding to that Wickremesinghe said China Habour Company earlier withdrew their proposal possibly following an agreement with the Chinese government.

    “When we asked President Xi about this he said choose the better one from China Habour and China Merchant,” Wickremesinghe said.

    “After we selected, China Habour withdrew what they sent us earlier. I think it may be an agreement with the Chinese government.”

    Sri Lanka, China open training center to support southern development

    COLOMBO, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- Sri Lanka and China on Saturday inaugurated a vocational training center in the southern part of the island country as part of a massive southern development project.

    Sri Lankan Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe said at the inauguration ceremony that the opening of the technical institute near the Mattala International Airport would benefit the youth in the island.

    "We have already launched the southern development project which will create many jobs. This project will completely change the south and benefit the people. In the coming years, people will be stunned to see the development and change here," Wickremesinghe said.

    While thanking China for providing the training facilities, he said many jobs would be created in the southern industrial zone because of this institute.

    Chinese Ambassador Yi Xianliang said this institute would help support the southern industrial park which was inaugurated earlier on Saturday because all the projects and investors needed qualified human resources.

    "There is no point having financial resources if there is no qualified human power. We should support all investors, not only Chinese but Sri Lankans and other nationalities, that if they come here to invest in this zone or in Sri Lanka, we can train them in their work," Yi said.

    The ambassador noted that there were more than 1.5 million Sri Lankans working in the Middle East, Europe and some other countries.

    "I do believe that Hambantota will be more attractive for them to work in Sri Lanka, in the future," he said.

    The southern development will create 100,000 jobs most of which have to be qualified jobs.

    Yi said most of the investments will require local qualified people.

    Yes. This is a development related thread and not where political hatred should be written.

    Pity why those posts are not deleted by the Moderators.
