Eagle Logistics on 24 October celebrated its 20th anniversary marking two decades of growth, innovation, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
The milestone was commemorated with a grand anniversary night at Cinnamon Lakeside, Colombo, attended by Eagle’s top 50 customers, overseas agents, and the entire Eagle team.
The evening was a reflection of Eagle’s remarkable journey from its humble beginnings to becoming a leading force in Sri Lanka’s logistics and supply chain industry.
In his welcome speech, Managing Director Asanga Weerackody shared heartfelt insights on the company’s two-decade journey. He reflected that when people think of a company’s success, their minds often turn to growth, profits, and market share. “Yes, we achieved all of that,” he said, “because without those results, we wouldn’t have survived for 20 years. But beyond that, there’s another, deeper reason, our purpose.”
He went on to highlight what truly sets Eagle Logistics apart from its people. “Twenty years ago, this was us. And today, this is us over 300 strong. But what’s different about us is that all these team members are home-grown. They weren’t picked from the trade or competitors — 99% of them began their careers with Eagle as their first job.”
Weerackody also said that many former team members have gone on to become entrepreneurs or have taken up significant roles across the logistics industry. “Over the past 20 years, we have created more than 1,000 professionals for the freight forwarding and supply chain industry. We are proud of this and you, our partners and customers, can be proud too, because we couldn’t have achieved it without your support.”
The celebration night was filled with gratitude, appreciation, and optimism for the future. As Eagle Logistics looks ahead, the company remains committed to its founding purpose: nurturing people, fostering innovation, and delivering excellence in every aspect of logistics and supply chain management.
