New Anthoney's Feeds secures four Gold, One Silver at NCQP

New Anthoney's Feeds won four Gold Awards and one Silver Award at the National Convention on Quality and Productivity (NCQP) 2026, earning recognition for all five improvement projects it entered.

The results, announced on 17 June at the Mount Lavinia Hotel, Colombo, mark a significant improvement on the company's two Gold Awards at NCQP 2025 and reinforce its position as one of Sri Lanka's leading quality driven agri food businesses.

The NCQP is Sri Lanka's premier annual platform for recognising workplace excellence in quality and productivity. Organised by the Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Quality and Productivity (SLAAQP), this year's convention was the largest in its history, attracting more than 2,000 delegates from over 100 organisations and evaluating 450 improvement teams across categories including Quality Control Circles, Lean Six Sigma, Quality Improvement Teams, Cross Functional Teams and Kaizen. The event was held under the theme, "People Driven Quality and Productivity for a Resilient Sri Lanka."

The latest achievement builds on New Anthoney's Feeds' strong track record at the NCQP. The company won two Gold Awards at the 2025 convention in the Cross Functional Teams and Quality Improvement Projects categories, qualifying it to represent Sri Lanka at the International Convention on Quality Control Circles (ICQCC) 2025 in Taiwan. This year's four Gold Awards and one Silver Award demonstrate the company's continued commitment to raising the bar in quality and operational excellence.

"At New Anthoney's, we don't just raise chickens, we raise standards. This achievement reflects the dedication of our people and the culture of continuous improvement they embrace every day," said New Anthoney's Group CEO Neil Suraweera.

New Anthoney's Feeds Ltd. is the feed manufacturing arm of New Anthoney's Group, Sri Lanka's leading integrated poultry producer and the country's only poultry company to raise chickens without antibiotics at any stage of production.

The Group was founded in Hanwella in 1986 by Chairman Emil Stanley and Directress S.M.D. Marie Seetha Lakshmee, starting with just 1,000 birds and a simple vision of providing Sri Lankan families with food produced to the highest standards.

The company's commitment to quality is further reinforced by internationally recognised certifications, including FSSC 22000, ISO 22000, ISO 9001:2015, HACCP and GMP.
