D.SAMSON INDUSTRIES

OverviewIn 1962, the late Mr. D Samson Rajapaksa JP, the founder of DSI (made up by the first letters of the name D Samson Industries) took his first steps to realizing a vision in making DSI - Sri Lanka's No. 01 footwear company.His mission was based on firm principles, business integrity and offering his customers quality and good value above all else. This journey through uncharted terrain took a relatively unknown name from Galle in the South of Sri Lanka and carefully nurtured it into a brand leader with national & international recognition. The task was not without the pitfalls & obstacles, reward & successes associated with the building of a strong brand that had to stand the test of time. Time that put to test his courage and determination to succeed against all odds and convert his vision into a reality.He cleverly identified the various opportunities that came his way and set the foundation for a strong brand and a diverse group of companies.He loved his country, the people and revered & practiced traditional family values, particularly those of the South that have now been enshrined into the DSI corporate culture at every level. His special relationship with his employees was that of a father to a son that extended beyond the realm of his own family. Continuing in this tradition, his sons gradually took over the business in the 1970's.Achievements D Samson Industries (Pvt) Ltd 1.1987 Certificate of Merit for Creditable Export Performance.Institution: Export Development Council of Ministers 2.1989 Presidential Export Award [outstanding performance] Institution: Export Development Council of Ministers 3.1990 Certificate of Merit for Creditable Export PerformanceInstitution: Export Development Council of Ministers 4.1990 Certificate of Appreciation Institution: Sri Lanka Standards Institution 5.1991 Certificate of Appreciation Institution: Sri Lanka Standards Institution 6 .1992 Certificate of Appreciation Institution: Sri Lanka Standards Institution 7 .1995 Entrepreneur of the Year '95 Competition Industry - Large [Southern] Institution: FCCISL 8.1995 Presidential Export Award - MeritInstitution: Export Development Council of Ministers 9 .1995 Certificate of Merit for Creditable Performance in Productivity Institution: NIBM 10.1995 Industry Large [Silver]Institution: NCE 11.1996 Industry Large [Silver]Institution: NCE 12.1996 World Temperance Day National Award for Great Service RenderedInstitution: Sober Sri Lanka - International Organization of Good Templars 13.1997 Export Award [Bronze]Institution: NCE 14.1998 Export Award [Merit]Institution: NCE 15.1999 National Safety Award [Merit]Institution: Dept. of Labour & Employee's Trust Fund Board 16.1999 ISO 9001:2000 Certification for Rubber CompoundsInstitution: DNV 17.2001 National Safety Award [Provincial Winner]Institution: Dept. of Labour & Employee's Trust Fund Board 18.2002 Export Award [Merit]Institution: NCE 19.2003 National Awards for Export ExcellenceMinistry of Commerce Consumer Affairs 20.2003 National Safety Award Merit - Southern ProvinceInstitution: Dept. of Labour & Employee's Trust Fund Board 21.2003 Export Award - SilverInstitution: NCE 22.2004 5S Merit CertificateInstitution: Taiki Akimoto 5S Competition 23.2004 ISO 9001:2000 Design & Manufacture of F/W & Footwear ComponentsInstitution: DNV 24.2005 5S Merit certificateInstitution: Taiki Akimoto 5S Competition 25.2005 Productivity Certificate 2005 - Southern Province 1st PlaceInstitution: Provincial Productivity Secretariat 26 2005 National Productivity & Quality Awards - Manufacturing Sector - Large Scale, Special Commendation Certificate Institution: National Productivity Secretariat 27 2006 National Safety Award - 1st Runner up for the Safety Workplace in the Manufacturing & Processing SectorInstitution: Dept. of Labour & Employee's Trust Fund Board
