Founded in 1979 by Ananda Jayasinghe, who is recognised as the Father of Screen Printing in Sri Lanka, Antler has expanded its portfolio significantly over the decades. The company now serves various industries including apparel pad printing, textile processing, glove manufacturing, and coatings for steel structures and fleet manufacturing.

A notable element of the launch was the recognition of Antler's strategic partnership with Neo-Chem India, a textile processing and specialty chemicals company with over 45 years of industry experience. The collaboration was highlighted as an effort to strengthen regional innovation and chemical development. The event featured an interactive product showcase where guests could examine Antler's latest offerings and consult with technical experts, demonstrating the company's commitment to advancing industrial chemistry solutions in Sri Lanka and regionally.
