Visvaka celebrates the big 2-0!

Visvaka, Sri Lanka’s pioneering food ingredient supplier, proudly marks its 20th anniversary as a beacon of innovation and excellence in the industry.  From humble beginnings, Visvaka has emerged as a trailblazer, particularly highlighted by a remarkable success story.

At the heart of Visvaka's success is its visionary founder, Chula de Silva, whose innovative thinking led a company into success. The founder addressed how cost and performance issues of raw materials in the manufacture of potato croquettes led to the importation of dehydrated potato flakes that can be reinvigorated through hydration. He went to mention the team’s process of identifying products that offer competitive pricing, stable quality, and can replace existing basic imports. This discovery has paved the way for importing value-added products better suited for further processing and manufacturing.

Visvaka's journey has been marked by a series of strategic expansions that brings innovative solutions to businesses without compromising in quality and taste.  Khao Shong, one of Visvaka's coffee brands, exemplifies this approach. After 15 years in the competitive market, Khao Shong has become a notable industry competitor, thanks to Visvaka's dedication to understanding consumer needs and consistently delivering top-notch products.

As Visvaka celebrates its 20th anniversary, the company is taking a forward-thinking approach by pursuing all necessary certifications to reinforce the quality of its products. They are recognized with certifications for GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice), ISO 22000, HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) as well as being Halal certified.

In the next few years, Visvaka remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation, consistently adding value to its clients, and setting new benchmarks for the industry. The company looks forward to continuing its legacy of excellence and is excited to explore new horizons while upholding the values that have defined its journey thus far.
