For a record breaking of 9 consecutive years, Sri Lanka’s most-loved cement brand INSEE SANSTHA is once again voted ‘People’s Housing and Construction Brand of the Year’ at the SLIM-Nielsen Peoples Awards held this year. This win bears testament to the unwavering loyalty of Sri Lankan consumers placed upon SANSTHA cement brand, especially on its unique selling proposition highpoints such as, consistent high-quality, durability and continuous product innovation.
Organized by the Sri Lanka Institute of Marketing (SLIM), the SLIM-Nielsen People’s Awards reflect the ‘voice of the people’, and is a highly anticipated, distinct recognition with the public voting for their favourite brands across multiple sectors. With 1 in every 3 homes in the country built with INSEE SANSTHA Cement, the brand is voted as the Number 1 People’s Choice for Housing and Construction in the nationwide survey.
