Dilmah Receives Dual Recognition at SIAL Paris
Dilmah has received dual recognition at SIAL Paris 2026, with three product innovations selected for SIAL Innovation Paris 2026 and the company named a finalist in the SIAL For Change competition.
Sri Lankan tea producer Dilmah has announced a dual recognition at the SIAL Paris 2026 trade show. Three of the company's innovative products have been named to the SIAL Innovation Paris 2026 Selection.
In addition, Dilmah has been confirmed as one of only five global finalists in the Large Companies category for 'SIAL For Change,' a new competition in 2026 that recognizes sustainability and social responsibility within the agri-food industry. This highlights Dilmah's commitment to corporate responsibility and community engagement.
The selected innovations include the Dilmah Sparkling Iced Tea Collection, the Elevrie Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Tea Collection, and the Windsor Forest Luxury Tea and Herb Collection. The latter received recognition for its home-compostable cotton tea bag. Selections were made by an independent jury of international food industry experts based on originality, technical innovation, and sustainability impact.
Dilmah's finalist status in the SIAL For Change competition acknowledges the work of its MJF Charitable Foundation and Dilmah Conservation programs. These initiatives direct 15% of the company's pre-tax profit towards community welfare and environmental protection. The competition saw 226 entries worldwide, with winners to be announced at SIAL Paris's official award ceremonies in October.
