RICHARDSON PROJECTS LIMITED l Corporate Profi le

Richardson & Co. (Ceylon) Ltd., was incorporated in Sri Lanka in 1962 as a manufacturers’ and exporters’ representative. The company was associated with its parent - Richardson & Co. (London) Ltd., an export buying house based in the UK. As one of the largest shippers to former commonwealth countries, including Sri Lanka, it was deemed necessary at the time to set up a localized operation. Richardson & Co. (Ceylon) Ltd., functioned as the Sri Lankan offi ce until regulations brought in by the local government in 1970 turned it into a Sri Lankan owned company.

During the fi rst 15 years of operation, R&Co., was primarily engaged in trading and indent sales of electrical switchgear, construction materials and industrial machinery. In 1980, the company embarked on a focused drive to provide solutions to the Medium & High Voltage electrical segments, from reputed manufacturers in the U.K. and Europe. Within a short span, the company was successful in securing several supply contracts for many electrifi cation projects, which were completed under the Mahaweli Development Scheme, one of the largest infrastructure programme initiated by the government of Sri Lanka.

During the early 90’s, new opportunities in infrastructural projects based on BOO/ BOT models and donor assisted development programmes, created a demand for local companies to handle projects on a turnkey basis. Richardson Projects was set up in 1995 for this purpose and the company has played a key role since then in several major national power Transmission & Distribution projects.

Our History

The company’s association with world class manufacturers of Medium/High Voltage equipment, have helped the company to raise its own quality standards. This has enabled Richardson to deliver a far superior service and have earned a reputation for reliability and consistency with our customers locally. In early 2000 the company decided to expand into the low voltage electrical segment and so incorporated Richardson Electric. The primary focus of this new company was to identify market requirements in the manufacturing and building automation sectors, in order to promote the comprehensive range of electrical switchgears and building automation products manufactured by principals such as - Moeller GmbH of Germany.

With the expansion into the low voltage segment, the company also embarked into lightning protection, with a tie up with the world renowned Lightning & Surge Protection company - W. J. Furse of Wilford, Nottingham, U.K. Today, Richardson Electric is a leading solution provider for lightning protection and has successfully completed several projects for blue chip clients and leading telecommunication providers in Sri Lanka.

Richardson is proud of this history of achievement and steady growth. We now look forward to establishing strong international joint venture partnerships for the manufacture of electrical products for export.


Corporate Profi le l RICHARDSON PROJECTS LIMITED

It gives me great pleasure to write this message for our corporate profi le. The Group has shown remarkably consistent growth in the last few years, to become Sri Lanka’s most reliable and reputed supplier of electrical products and services. With a product portfolio made up of some of the top electrical brands/manufacturers, backed by the strong engineering services off ered by our highly trained and professional sales team, we can proudly stake our claim to be the industry leader, setting the benchmark and establishing the highest standards in all that we do.

Having had experience in representing pioneer manufacturers in the electrical industry such as English Electrical Fusegear Ltd (EEF); Midland Electrical Manufacturing Co. Ltd., (MEM); British Insulated Calendars & Cables Ltd (BICC); during my tenure as a Director in a premier engineering company in Sri Lanka, Colombo Commercial Co. (Engineers) Ltd. (CCC), I observed that clients were not provided with suffi cient technical support for selection and operation of their electrical systems. When I rejoined Richardson in 1976, my intention was to provide our customers with reliable electrical

switchgear, backed with technical support and dependable after-sales-service, creating a win-win situation for all.

Today, technical support and customer service are the fundamental pillars of success of any organization. I am pleased to see that the senior management of the company, have taken great strides to ensure that the customer is provided not only with the best products, but also with excellent support and service. I also take this opportunity to extend my thanks for the continuing patronage of our customers, partners and suppliers, who together form the foundation of our success.
