Local distributor Metropolitan is partnering with Singer Sri Lanka to offer Canon printers to consumers across the island.
The Island reported at the beginning of this week on a new collaboration between Metropolitan and Singer Sri Lanka, one of Sri Lanka’s major retailers, in a move that will make Canon printers available to consumers across the island “through Singer’s extensive retail network.”
As a result, Canon, which has been able to introduce a variety of products and technology to Sri Lanka through its 38-year partnership with local distributor, Metropolitan, will now see its reach expand still further through Singer’s numerous outlets.
Ivor Maharoof, Group Director for Metropolitan Holdings (Pvt) Ltd, commented on the alliance, “It is exciting for us that Canon printers will almost immediately become available in over 400 Singer outlets island-wide. Canon and Singer together is undoubtedly a winning combination that will offer consumers access to the superior technology and print quality of Canon and the convenience and ease of Singer.”
Singer Sri Lanka PLC was similarly enthusiastic about this new partnership, with the company’s Marketing Director, Kumar Samarasinghe, stating, “This is another important occasion for us as we are joining hands with Metropolitan to offer Canon printers, a global leader in the printing arena, through our Singer outlets. Canon is a reputed international brand and Metropolitan is a trusted Sri Lankan company that has always kept to their values and maintained a very high standard. We, at Singer, are always looking for a partner with such qualities.”
