The company was incorporated in Sri Lanka in 1990 as a subsidiary of
Forbes and Walker Limited. The company initially sold its products in
bulk packages but later introduced a range of retail-sized soya packs to
become one of the most prominent brands in Sri Lanka today, 'Lanksoy'.
The launch of 'Lankasoy' brand by Soy Foods F&W Ltd. was a landmark in
the Sri Lankan food industry.
The company invested heavily in technology and in 2004, it invested
in automated packaging and modernized the factory to enhance quality.
Having secured market leadership in the Soya category, the company
realized the need for diversification.
The company was renamed Convenience Foods Lanka PLC (CFL) and
expanded its offerings under the brand names 'Lankasoy', 'Ramba' snacks,
'Rasahari' noodles, 'Rasahari' soup and 'Nutriline' cereal. Today, CFL
is a key player within the CBL group of companies.
Managing Director, Convenience Foods Lanka Limited, Thilanka de Soyza
said, "We celebrate 25 years of continuous service to the nation through
economic and social value creation. This happy occasion was commemorated
recently with a series of events on the theme '25 years of commitment'.
Our vision is to introduce new products focusing on consumer needs
further upgrading the state-of-the-art technology in our factory. I
thank all employees who are the pillars of success of CFL." |
