Revolutionizing Device Manufacturing: Inside the EWIS Device Assembling Factory

In the heart of Hambantota, where the past meets the future, lies the EWIS ODM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Factory — a pioneering endeavor by EWIS, a distinguished IT company with three decades of experience in providing cutting-edge IT solutions and devices to leading public, financial, and corporate enterprises across Sri Lanka.

A Decade of Unwavering Innovation

As we stand on the cusp of celebrating a remarkable milestone, the EWIS ODM Factory is preparing to commemorate its 10th anniversary next November. Over the past ten years, we have transformed the landscape of technology manufacturing in Sri Lanka. We’ve been at the forefront of innovation, revolutionizing the way people interact with technology.

Innovation in Action

What sets the EWIS ODM Factory apart is its unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence. This state-of-the-art facility churns out over 500 devices per day, proudly bearing the EWIS name. These devices adhere to stringent quality standards and carry certifications from CE, FCC, and ROHS. The international recognition comes as a result of EWIS’s strategic partnerships with global giants like Intel and Microsoft.

A Wide Spectrum of Technology

The EWIS ODM Factory is a hub of diverse technology. From desktops to laptops, all-in-one computers to smartboards, POS terminals, Televisions and mobile devices under the EWIS brand, we cover it all. What’s more, our products are designed to be affordable for the all Sri Lankan, making technology accessible to everyone.

Innovation Beyond Boundaries

The factory is not just about production; it’s about research and development. Nestled within the University of Moratuwa, our R&D center collaborates with the university’s talented graduates, renowned for their engineering and technological competence. It’s a harmonious partnership where knowledge flows both ways, nurturing future leaders and fostering innovation.

Strategic Location

While Colombo remains the IT hub of the nation, accessibility and IT knowledge dispersion are equally vital. That’s why our facility finds its home in Hambantota, strategically positioned near the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport, Bandaranaike International Airport, Hambantota Harbour, and the Southern Expressway’s Sooriyawewa interchange. We believe that improving our employees’ living standards is crucial to producing the high-performing products our customers expect.

Empowering Communities

The EWIS ODM Factory is not just a workplace; it’s a community. We employ around 80 dedicated individuals, with 90% being women from the surrounding areas, contributing to regional development and economic empowerment. This commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment has earned EWIS the prestigious ‘Great Place to Work for Women in SL’ award for the third time.

Dedication to Learning and Development

At EWIS, learning and development are embedded in our ethos. Before working on the line, every employee undergoes a month of training. Motivation is integral to our daily activities, where employees and superiors collaborate to bring out the best in each other. Working here instills a sense of pride, providing higher recognition in society and resulting in remarkably low employee turnover.

A Glimpse Inside the Factory

Our ODM facility is fully equipped and transparent. Electro Static Discharge (ESD) uniforms protect against static electricity, ensuring a secure environment. Airshowers control airborne particles from entering the assembly line. The automated assembly line progresses step by step, each station equipped with torque screwdrivers and barcode scanners.

We maintain a cleanroom for display manufacturing, ensuring minimal airborne particles. Products undergo a burn-in test in the Ageing Line, simulating extreme working conditions. Finally, packaged devices are stored on our factory floor.

Committed to Excellence and Sustainability

The EWIS ODM Factory holds ISO certification for quality excellence, a testament to our unwavering commitment to the highest standards. We firmly believe that collaboration plays a pivotal role in addressing systemic social and environmental challenges. As a result, we warmly welcome school children, university students, foreign delegates, and industry experts alike, creating an environment that fosters knowledge-sharing and active community engagement.

Our commitment to social responsibility extends beyond our walls, with initiatives like laptop donations, health camps, employee relations, and environmental conservation.

In the heart of Hambantota, the EWIS ODM Factory is not just manufacturing technology; it’s crafting a future where innovation, excellence, and community empowerment thrive.
