To begin with, the creator/founder of Oprah Tex Garment would like to thank the Jury members for selecting his company for Asia’s quality garments manufacturer award honoring us with this award. Well, this is a very proud moment for Mr. Prashan, and he did not walk alone on this path to success; instead, he was accompanied by all the valuable staff members and dedicated employees who have worked day-in and day-out to make the company one of the most recognizable brands in Sri Lanka. Here, he would especially like to thank the customers too, who believed in their garment products and offered continuous business which motivated them to work harder to give in their best services within their capacity.

The journey was never smooth and was filled with challenges quite often, but the team remained resilient and strengthened us to make our entity stand out with the continuous guidance of a thorough professional who knows exactly what he wants; someone who sets his eyes on a goal and does not lose sight of it, unless it is achieved.

Winning this award would not have been possible without the inspiration received from the seniors and colleagues, for whom Mr. Prashan would work with the deepest respect, and from whom he has derived the strength to challenge himself and perform better at each stage.

Last but not least, of course, winning this honor wouldn’t have been possible without his father’s guidance and his family’s moral support and inspiration; as they are truly his backbone.

Mr. Prashan sincerely thanks each one of you for your continuous support and also for all the internal and external stakeholders who are directly or indirectly involved in the functioning of our company.
