About us
Our Story
Ceylon Kings Corporation traces its roots to the early 1900s when Royal Army officer and visionary businessman Maddugoda Gamage Don Dias established a business that evolved into Matara Stores. Over time, this enterprise developed into the esteemed Ceylon Kings Corporation, now a premier exporter of high-quality food, beverages, fresh fruits, organic items, and handcrafted clothing.
