SOLEX – strengthening the current economy with innovative engineering solutions

Over the past 40 years, the Solex Group of Companies (Pvt) Ltd has earned the respect and loyalty of many Sri Lankans as the country’s top water pump manufacturer, selling over one million pumps during the last decade with a clear market share of over 40%. In a bid to overcome recent economic challenges amidst the prevailing crisis, Solex introduced a range of affordable and essential high technology products in a short time frame to serve government-driven organizations and industries such as apparel, construction, hospitality, export food manufacturing, information technology services, and large local and multinational conglomerates. By locally manufacturing a variety of equipment that were previously imported, such as fuel tanks, diesel unloading pumps, fire pumps, dehumidifier dryers, and automobile parts, Solex has filled a significant budgetary gap while also enhancing the lives of its customers and the environment.

Some of the leading products include Diesel Transfer Pumps which are available in export quality and Solex also provides installation and delivery services across the island. The product has benefitted both local and international conglomerates. Its features allow for the most effective transfer of diesel from bowsers to overhead tanks and from ground tanks to overhead tanks, enabling their everyday operations. Additionally, as an ISO-certified company, the locally-made high-quality Diesel Storage Tanks and Fuel Dispensers have been designed to meet international standards in light of the nation’s recent import restrictions and fuel shortages, thereby enabling industries to operate constantly and contribute to Sri Lanka’s economic growth while saving millions of forex. The two items were recently dispatched to several projects undertaken by leading companies in the apparel and construction sectors.

The locally manufactured Solex De-Humidifier Dryers standardize food processing technology, which could boost the processed food export industry.
