What DSI Samson Group does

Samson Rubber Products (Pvt) Ltd is an export-oriented Sri Lankan manufacturer and a member company of the diversified DSI Samson Group (founded 1962; group headcount 5,001–10,000). Established in 1994 and headquartered at D Samson Rajapaksa Mawatha, Bataduwa, Galle, the subsidiary employs approximately 350 staff — roughly 300 highly skilled technical workers and 50 in managerial, marketing and administrative roles. It serves international OEM and industrial buyers across at least eight end-segments including material handling, transportation/trucking, agriculture and dairy, automotive, boating and sports, mobility aids, packaging, and homeware.

The company's manufacturing capability spans four material platforms under one factory: rubber moulding (Natural, EPDM, NBR and Polyurethane compounds) producing solid tires, solid wheels, caster wheels, tie down straps, truck strings, pallet bands, animal teats, milking liners, agricultural mouldings, irrigation extrusions, O-rings, rubber hose, railway pads, ferrules, blinker arms, car mats, mud flaps and boat rollers; EVA and Neoprene foam processing producing buoys, floating pads, EVA sheets, EVA bicycle tyres and memory rubber sheets; plastic injection moulding (PP, PE, Nylon, PET) producing industrial buckets, hanging pots, flower pots, toy bicycle accessories, milk and water bottles, agri buckets, PET bottles and PET preforms; and metal forming (mild steel and spring steel) producing electric fencing components including the DSI Farm Safe line. The facility is ISO 9001:2008 certified and REACH compliant for European chemical regulation.

Revenue is generated through enquiry-based B2B export sales of custom-specification components; no public pricing, no e-commerce transactional channel, and no disclosed contracts or named customers exist in the source data. Go-to-market relies on the corporate website, an online enquiry system, a supplier registration portal, and direct outreach via the International Marketing department. Multiple national export awards — NCE Export Gold Awards (2010, 2011), Presidential Export Awards (2005 Winner; 2007 Merit Certificate), NCCSL Export Excellence (2005), and Sri Lanka Entrepreneur of the Year Bronze (2004) — establish its position as a leading Sri Lankan exporter of moulded rubber, EVA, Nylon and plastic products.
