ABOUT US
Convenience Foods (Lanka) PLC (CFL), a subsidiary of CBL Group, has a history spanning more than three decades. CFL entered the Sri Lankan business arena and commenced operations in 1991, named as Soy Foods (Private) Limited, a public quoted subsidiary of Forbes and Walker Limited. The Company pioneered the concept of Textured Soy Protein (TSP) or popularly known as the soya meat market locally. Creating headway under the brand ‘Lankasoy’ this product functioned as an alternative source of protein, and grew in popularity, especially among the vegetarian and vegan markets.
In 2000, Ceylon Biscuits Limited (CBL) acquired the company, which was then renamed Soy Foods Lanka Limited. The slow-moving market shifted gears with the introduction of nugget-shaped fish, chicken and vegetarian flavoured soya products. These new, flavoured soya products transformed and expanded the domestic soya market, leading to many accolades for the brand. With ambitious growth strategies in the pipeline, the Company changed its name to Convenience Foods (Lanka) PLC in 2008, to reflect its growth plans of diversification beyond soya-based foods, into the convenience foods segment.
In 2017, CBL Investments Limited purchased a majority of the issued share capital of CFL from Ceylon Biscuits Limited, leading to the transfer of majority ownership of CFL to CBL Investments Limited. This diversification heralded growth in the product range, with Sera Salt and Sera Coconut Milk being added to the portfolio. The year 2021 witnessed further growth with the introduction of Sera spices. Today, the Company has a portfolio of more than 100 SKUs and enjoys the patronage of consumers across different continents. We have built the foundation to make a presence in the Middle East, Europe, the USA, and Asia, thereby contributing a noteworthy percentage towards CBL exports. Our success has been amply rewarded with the many awards and accolades we have received over the years, which is indeed an affirmation of our brand’s strength and the trust we have created in our consumers.
