Expolanka Holdings PLC is a diversified conglomerate with interests in logistics, leisure and ventures with a global presence in 20 countries and over 50 cities. As of May 2023, Expolanka Holdings PLC is the largest company by market capitalization on the Colombo stock exchange.

History

Expolanka Limited was established in 1978 as the Sri Lankan economy was liberalised and is the flagship company of Expolanka Holdings. Initially a pioneer exporter of fresh produce, Expolanka has had sustained growth emerging as a strong group of companies. The group has diversified into exports, imports and trading, freight forwarding & logistics, manufacturing, airline representation & operation, travels & tours and information technology over the years.

New Developments

Having announced on 26 April 2011, its intention to go public with an initial public offering after successful private placement of its shares to broad-base ownership, Expolanka Holdings went ahead with the IPO on 12 May 2011 floating 172,000,000 ordinary voting shares at LKR 14 per share.

Listed on the main board of the Colombo Stock Exchange, Expolanka Holdings PLC ranks among the top five diversified conglomerates in the bourse. [2]

In May 2014, SG Holdings, Japan's second-largest logistics firm, acquired a 30% stake in Expolanka Holdings PLC triggering mandatory offer requirements set by Sri Lanka's Securities and Exchange Commission. [3] In June 2014, SG Holdings confirmed that it has secured controlling interest in Expolanka with the acquisition of over 51% of total shares. [4]

On 1 March 2024, Expolanka Holdings PLC disclosed its intention to withdraw from the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) in a press release conveyed by the company Director and Group CEO Hanif Yusoof. This proposition will be contingent upon requisite shareholder approval, regulatory endorsements, and authorisations. [5] [6]
