CIC Paints, marketers of the world renowned brand, Dulux and the Sri Lanka Institute of Architects (SLIA) have enjoyed an enduring partnership over a period spanning many years.

Now as strategic sponsor of the SLIA for the second consecutive year, the Architect 2005 exhibition will be enriched by this mutually beneficial partnership. While the exhibition itself is an integral aspect of the SLIA annual sessions, CIC Paints have also partnered and continue to actively participate in the various programs of the SLIA calendar.

CIC Paints have maintained an outstanding presence at all the events it has participated with the SLIA. At the Architects Exhibition in particular, the Dulux stall has received merit awards for the ‘Best-Displayed Stall’ for 3 consecutive years.

As the main strategic sponsor, CIC Paints will play a leading role in enhancing the professional programmes of the SLIA through its involvement in regional events promoting architecture. CIC Paints will be supporting the continuous professional development programmes while also providing special recognition awards for outstanding Architects, identified by the SLIA. In addition CIC Paints have provided financial assistance to deserving undergraduates who are students in architecture.

CIC Paints, through their association with SLIA, has continuously enlightened the public of the fact that when embarking on construction, hiring an architect is not an expensive in the long-run. This message will continue to be carried through to the general public through the media and CIC Paints’ dedicated dealer network.
