Elephant House recently commissioned one of the most modern ice cream manufacturing facilities in Asia.

Situated at the Seethawaka BOI zone at Avissawella, this factory with the added capacity it brings will lead to a doubling of Elephant House’s existing ice cream production volume. Also, it facilitates Elephant House enhancing its portfolio of products.

Backed by 150 years of operations, Elephant House has continually introduced high quality products that excite consumers, enabling more and more Sri Lankans to experience the ‘goodness of life’. Elephant House Ice cream has grown to become the market leader in this segment, with recent successes such as the premium IMORICH range and the youthful Wonder bar and Wonder cones. This ice cream factory is operated by The Colombo Ice Company Ltd., a fully owned subsidiary of Ceylon Cold Stores PLC.

John Keells Group President – Consumer Foods Sector Jit Gunaratne said, “We at Elephant House are pleased to begin operations at this state-of-the-art, world-class facility, where we broke ground just 15 months ago. We are thrilled to be setting new standards for the local sector, while moving into our next stage of growth.”
