Founded by visionaries Halambage Premasiri and R.P. Ariyadasa, Bawani has grown from humble beginnings into a cornerstone of the nation’s food industry. Established with a shared vision of delivering high-quality yet affordable products, Bawani has not only nourished generations but has also redefined industry standards through its relentless commitment to innovation and excellence.

Premasiri and Ariyadasa founded Bawani during a time when access to quality food products was limited to a privileged few. Their mission was clear: to create a brand that catered to every household, ensuring that quality and affordability went hand in hand. Starting with a small production facility, the company focused on staple food items, such as rice, flours, and spices, essential for the daily lives of the nation’s people.

Today, Bawani continues its proud legacy under the stewardship of Keshi Halambage and W.K. Ariyadasa, the next generation of leaders dedicated to upholding the company’s values. Under their guidance, Bawani has embraced modern technology while preserving the traditional craftsmanship that has defined its products for decades. Their forward-thinking approach ensures that the company remains a trusted name in every Sri Lankan household.

Operating from its factory in Ambalangoda, Sri Lanka, Bawani sources the finest ingredients from local farmers, ensuring freshness and sustainability. This commitment to supporting local agriculture not only guarantees quality but also fosters economic growth in rural communities. The factory is equipped with state-of-the-art machinery, combining efficiency with rigorous quality control measures to maintain the brand’s reputation for excellence.

While its unwavering focus on quality set the foundation, Bawani’s affordability ensured its reach extended to every corner of society. By streamlining its operations and sourcing raw materials ethically and efficiently, Bawani was able to offer competitive pricing without compromising on quality. This dual focus on excellence and accessibility helped the company become a beloved household name.

As Bawani celebrates its centennial, its legacy as a brand that has nourished the nation is unmatched. From humble kitchens to grand feasts, Bawani’s products have been at the heart of countless meals, celebrations, and traditions. With Keshi Halambage and W.K. Ariyadasa at the helm, Bawani continues to honor its heritage while embracing opportunities to nourish and inspire future generations.
