Diamond International Unveils National Crackdown on Counterfeit Goods

Diamond International Lanka Ltd, a leading name in Sri Lanka’s packaging and security solutions sector for over 17 years, has launched a nationwide initiative to combat the growing threat of counterfeit products.

Introduced this month in partnership with Holographic Label Bhd Malaysia, the programme seeks to protect consumer safety, safeguard brand reputation, and strengthen the country’s economic resilience by deploying advanced authentication technologies, enhancing public awareness, and working in collaboration with enforcement agencies.


Speaking with Director, Diamond International Lanka Ltd - Lalith De Silva, stated:


“As the distributor and importer of security printing materials from Holographic Malaysia, Diamond International has been at the forefront of anti-counterfeit measures in Sri Lanka.


This latest initiative responds to the increasing infiltration of counterfeit goods into critical industries, including pharmaceuticals, fast-moving consumer goods, food and beverage, and apparel.


These illicit products not only endanger public health and safety but also undermine consumer confidence and inflict significant financial damage on legitimate businesses.”


The initiative features the roll-out of smart labelling solutions, including tamper-evident holographic seals, dynamic QR codes, and serialised holograms that allow consumers to instantly verify the authenticity of products.


This technology-first approach is designed to offer brands a robust line of defence while empowering consumers with easy-to-use verification tools.


“Counterfeiting is not merely an economic concern - it is a direct threat to public safety and national development,” commented Managing Director, Holographic Label Bhd Malaysia - Mr Foong Wan Hong,


“This initiative brings together cutting-edge technology, industry collaboration, and public education to create a safer and more trustworthy marketplace.”


In parallel, Diamond International is working closely with regulatory authorities and law enforcement bodies to enhance oversight and disrupt the distribution networks of counterfeit goods.


The company is also spearheading a comprehensive consumer awareness drive in collaboration with Holographic Malaysia.


This includes public education campaigns, training sessions, and targeted outreach programmes aimed at retailers and small businesses to raise awareness of the risks posed by counterfeit products and how to identify them.


Through this programme, Diamond International Lanka Ltd reaffirms its long-standing commitment to innovation, consumer protection, and the integrity of Sri Lanka’s business landscape.
