Wijeya Newspapers boost its capacity with two more Manugraph Lines
Sri Lanka’s Wijeya Newspapers
Limited, buoyed up with
efficient service back-up of its
long standing partner, Manugraph
India Limited and installed two
more Manugraph Hiline machines
to meet their ever-growing
circulation demands.
In spite of several international
players putting up stiff competition
to garner their patronage, Wijeya
Newspapers stuck to Manugraph,
not only due to the proximity to the
manufacturing unit, but also
because of efficient service backup.
This vehemently vouchsafes for
the excellent partnership and
relationship between Manugraph
and Wijeya, which made each other
partner-in-progress.
Wijeya Newspapers Limited (WNL)
is one of the leading publishers
of newspapers and magazines in
Sri Lanka. The portfolio of
publications include various dailies,
weeklies and periodicals in English
and local languages like Daily
Mirror, Sunday Times, Lankadeepa,
Pariganaka, Hi, Tharunaya, Wijeya,
Lanka Woman to name a few.
The Daily Lankadeepa, with
circulation of 150,000, has
readership of over two million and
Daily Mirror has a circulation of
25,000. The weekend newspapers
combined circulation of 450,000
copies, with the readership
of Sunday Lankadeepa over
5 million and Sunday Times
of over 330,000. The flagship
brand Sunday Lankadeepa has
circulation of over 350,000 copies.
The vision of the founders of
Wijeya Newspapers is to provide
unbiased news, events and analysis
on topics of the country and
international to its readers. This is
very much embedded in the logo of
the company. Aiming to be the
No 1 newspaper in Sri Lanka in
terms of responsible journalism,
readership, circulation, quality in
content and print, they offer a wide
array of products across various
platforms. Manugraph is proud in
partnering them in their endeavour.
Commenting on the industry
standards and review, Sujan
Wijewardene, director production,
Wijeya Newspapers Ltd, said,
“Manugraph is a company, which
is continuously evolving and offering
newer technology catering to market
needs, surpassing industry standards
in quality and promptness.” No
wonder Wijeya Newspapers is
looking at arrays of Hiline 45s, Cityline
expresses and faster presses
like Frontline or an equivalent
of double circumference presses as
they progress.
