Chairman Message
At Nelco Food Products, our journey began in 1992 as a small-scale domestic business with a simple goal — to bring high-quality, authentic Sri Lankan food to every home. Today, we are proud to be recognized as one of the most trusted names in the local food industry, known for our unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction.
Over the past three decades, we have grown from manufacturing sweets to offering a diverse portfolio that includes spices, flours, salt, noodles, vinegar, seed varieties, Maldive fish, papadam, gamboge, and soya meat. This expansion reflects not just our growth, but also our passion for preserving Sri Lanka’s rich culinary heritage while embracing modern food production standards.
Our success is deeply rooted in our core values: quality, authenticity, and ethical responsibility. We source only the finest ingredients and follow rigorous standards to ensure every product that carries the Nelco name delivers on taste, nutrition, and purity. We are also proud to support sustainable practices and work closely with local farmers and suppliers, contributing to over 250 job opportunities across our operations.
From our main facility in Malwathttha, Godakawela in Ratnapura, we continue our mission to enrich lives through food — delivering products that bring families together, uphold cultural traditions, and support healthier lifestyles.
As we look to the future, our promise remains the same: to deliver food you can trust — crafted with care, backed by tradition, and inspired by the people we serve.
