The awards are run by Tyre House Group, the MAXXIS distributor in Sri Lanka. Chairman Lesley Fonseka, Managing Director Sunil Fonseka, Group Director Gayan Fonseka, Directress Kanthi Thalagala and Working Director Rohan Peiris took part in the opening lamp-lighting.
Representatives of MAXXIS International Taiwan attended, identified in the filing only by first names and job titles.
A note on the year
The awards are titled “Champions of Champions 2025” and were held in October 2026, recognising dealer performance for the 2025 year. The filing does not explain the gap between the performance year and the ceremony, and nothing in it indicates an earlier event was postponed.
Not reported
No sales figures appear anywhere in the filing. It does not say what criteria the 60 dealers were assessed against, what volumes the winners achieved, or how many dealers MAXXIS has in Sri Lanka in total.
It gives no market-share, import or pricing data, so the commercial position of the brand in Sri Lanka cannot be read from it. No one is quoted.
The filing identifies the two MAXXIS International Taiwan representatives as “Mr. Kenny, Section Manager” and “Mr. Jimmy, Sales Representative” — first names and titles only, with no surnames. They are reproduced here as published rather than completed.
On sourcing: this is a single-source article drawn from a corporate announcement carried by Colombo Gazette, a verified newsroom. No other verified outlet filed on the event. It is a record of a company awards evening, not independently verified reporting.
