JAT Holdings PLC has entered into an exclusive partnership with WASHLEX, a leading provider of Japanese smart toilet technology, to expand access to premium smart bathroom solutions across Sri Lanka’s hospitality, residential and commercial sectors.
Through this collaboration, JAT Holdings will exclusively distribute WASHLEX smart toilets nationwide, combining the brand’s innovative Japanese technology with JAT’s extensive market reach, established customer relationships and comprehensive after-sales service capabilities.
Since entering the Sri Lankan market in February 2024, WASHLEX has steadily gained recognition among discerning customers seeking bathroom solutions that seamlessly combine hygiene, comfort, convenience and sustainability. Designed in Japan, WASHLEX smart toilets deliver an elevated user experience through intelligent technology, contemporary design and practical functionality tailored for modern living and hospitality environments.
To date, more than 350 WASHLEX smart toilets have been installed across Sri Lanka in luxury hotels, premium residences, apartment developments, restaurants and commercial properties. The brand has been selected by several distinguished hospitality and residential developments, including Shangri-La Hambantota Golf Resort & Spa, 98 Acres Resort & Spa, Le Grand Galle, TRI-ZEN Apartments, Marino Beach Hotel and Athreya Hotel & Spa Sigiriya.
The partnership was officially unveiled at an exclusive launch event held at the JAT Lifestyle Studio, underscoring JAT’s vision of transforming the space into a destination for complete home and lifestyle solutions. The event brought together customers, architects, designers, developers and industry stakeholders to experience the WASHLEX brand firsthand, while showcasing the innovation, craftsmanship and design excellence synonymous with Japanese engineering.
Commenting on the partnership, Aelian Gunawardene, Managing Director of JAT Holdings PLC, said “For more than three decades, JAT has built its reputation by introducing world-class brands and innovative solutions that enhance the way people live and work. Our partnership with WASHLEX is a natural extension of that commitment.

With the encouraging market response WASHLEX has already received, we are confident that JAT’s nationwide reach, technical expertise and strong channel partnerships will accelerate the brand’s growth and establish it as the benchmark for smart bathroom technology in Sri Lanka.”
Dilan Sandaruwan, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of WASHLEX, added “WASHLEX was created with the vision of making advanced Japanese smart toilet technology more accessible while delivering a superior standard of hygiene, comfort and convenience. As expectations continue to evolve across hospitality, residential and commercial spaces, smart sanitation is becoming an increasingly important element of modern design. Partnering with JAT Holdings enables us to scale our presence through one of Sri Lanka’s most respected distribution and lifestyle brands, bringing innovative bathroom solutions to a wider audience.”
WASHLEX smart toilets incorporate a comprehensive range of intelligent features designed to enhance everyday comfort and hygiene. These include heated seating, adjustable bidet and rear wash functions, child wash mode, adjustable water temperature and pressure, self-cleaning nozzles, eco mode, soft-close seating and an intuitive control panel. The products also promote more sustainable daily use through efficient water management, energy-saving operating modes and reduced reliance on toilet paper.
For hospitality operators, these features provide an opportunity to elevate the guest experience while supporting higher standards of cleanliness, convenience and operational efficiency. Across luxury hotels, premium residences and commercial developments, smart bathroom technology also serves as a distinctive value addition, contributing to enhanced customer experiences and long-term property value.
Beyond Sri Lanka, WASHLEX has attracted growing international demand through direct customer orders from the Maldives, Dubai and Australia. With JAT Holdings as its exclusive nationwide distribution partner, the brand is well positioned to strengthen its presence locally while capitalising on increasing regional and global demand for intelligent, sustainable and experience-driven bathroom solutions.
