In a move that reinforces the strength of Sri Lankan brands and the country’s growing entrepreneurial ecosystem, Remarko Bakers and Caterers has entered into a strategic partnership with Colombo Coffee Company (CCC), marking a significant milestone in the local food and beverage sector.

Following the remarkable success of the Remarko Bakers and Caterers Franchise operation, which expanded to over 25 outlets within just two months, Remarko continues its aggressive yet sustainable growth journey by aligning with a like-minded Sri Lankan brand renowned for quality, innovation, and market leadership.

Founded in 2004, Colombo Coffee Company is Sri Lanka’s premier total coffee solutions provider and the undisputed market leader in the Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafes (HORECA) sector. A fully-owned subsidiary of the Akbar Brothers Group, the world’s largest exporter of Ceylon Tea, CCC brings over two decades of expertise, seamlessly blending international standards with local craftsmanship.

Remarko Bakers and Caterers, with its roots deeply embedded in Sri Lankan entrepreneurship, has built its reputation on freshness, innovation, and consumer delight. From its early beginnings to becoming a fast-growing franchise brand, Remarko has consistently focused on empowering entrepreneurs, delivering consistent quality, and spreading happiness through its wide range of bakery and catering products. 

Remarko Group Strategic Consultant/Chief Marketing Officer Hashan Haputhanthri said: “Growing with a Sri Lankan brand is actually a strategic move to lead the entrepreneurial culture that Remarko has always believed in and inculcated into its mission statement. The Remarko and Colombo Coffee Company meeting signifies a meet-up of two legendary brands—coming together to seek growth while spreading happiness to our dear consumers through our franchisees. Colombo Coffee Company’s drive for innovation and Remarko’s innovation culture is a perfect match. We are indeed privileged to sign up with them, where we both share similar grounds and a common commitment to supporting the growth of the Sri Lankan economy.”

Colombo Coffee Company CEO Kushan Samararatne said: “Signing up to serve Remarko’s entire franchise network is a strategic milestone from the point of view of Colombo Coffee Company. Both our organisations are committed to growing Sri Lanka’s economy by serving consumers better—with passion, responsibility, and a committed heart. Our new innovation of Plain Tea through our machines will be a definite plus point when Remarko delivers its ‘Freshness Promise’, allowing consumers to enjoy products exactly when and where they are meant to be enjoyed.”

As part of this strategic partnership, Colombo Coffee Company will stand with Remarko as its official coffee supplier across its entire franchise network, further strengthening product consistency, innovation, and consumer experience nationwide.

This collaboration symbolises the power of Sri Lankan brands working together—driving entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic progress while delivering superior value to consumers.
