Atlas, Sri Lanka’s leading learning brand trusted by parents for decades, has supported children’s growth and development through products that make learning fun and help unlock their full potential. As a brand that has been part of Sri Lankan childhoods for generations, Atlas has consistently focused on creating products that inspire creativity, encourage curiosity and make learning a positive experience for children. Building on this legacy, Atlas has introduced Sri Lanka’s first SLS certified water bottle, extending that commitment beyond learning by offering parents a trusted and certified choice for one of their children’s everyday essentials.
The launch comes at a time when greater attention is being placed on product safety, quality assurance and consumer protection. Achieving SLS certification involves a rigorous evaluation process, including extensive testing and strict compliance with the newly introduced national standard for plastic water bottles established by the Sri Lanka Standards Institution (SLSI). The certification assures parents that the Atlas water bottle meets recognised requirements for safety, quality and reliability, while reflecting the brand’s continued commitment to upholding high standards of safety, quality and reliability across its product portfolio.
The official launch, held at Cinnamon Grand Colombo, brought together representatives from regulatory authorities, healthcare professionals, industry experts, media representatives and the Atlas leadership team to discuss the growing importance of certified products, nationally recognised quality standards and informed consumer choices.
Speaking at the event, Indrajith Binduhewa, Director Sales & Operations, Atlas Axillia, said, “At Atlas, everything we do begins with a simple question: Is it good for the child? As a brand trusted by generations of Sri Lankan families, we believe safety should never be left to chance. Becoming the first brand in Sri Lanka to obtain SLS certification for a water bottle reflects our commitment to setting higher standards while giving parents greater confidence in the products their children use every day. We are proud to support this important step towards a safer future for children.”
The event also featured an expert panel discussion with representatives from key stakeholder groups, highlighting the role of quality standards, certification and consumer awareness in strengthening product safety and protecting children and families.
Commenting further, Kasuni Bandara, General Manager Marketing, Atlas Axillia, said, “Parents have trusted Atlas to be part of their children’s lives for generations. This launch is about honouring that trust by offering a safer, certified choice for one of the most frequently used everyday essentials. We hope this milestone encourages greater awareness of certified products while helping parents make informed decisions with confidence.”
With the introduction of Sri Lanka’s first SLS certified water bottle, Atlas continues to champion higher product standards while supporting national efforts to promote safer, quality-assured products for Sri Lankan families, reinforcing its commitment to putting children’s wellbeing at the heart of everything it does.
