Corporate Profile
What We Offer
Kalubowitiya Tea Factory Limited (KTFL) is a limited liability company incorporated under the Companies Act No; 17 of 1982 and re-registered under the new Companies Act No; 07 of 2007. The Company was established to produce Cut, Tear and Curl (CTC) Tea and commenced commercial operations on 1st August 1994.
Our operations have expanded from the initial factory at Kalubowitiyana to include Derangala (2000), Hiniduma Hills (2012), and most recently, the Manikdiwela Factory. The Company produces approximately 2,000,000 Kgs of quality teas annually, using selected green leaf purchased from smallholders.
While the Kalubowitiyana Factory specializes in CTC Tea, our Derangala, Hiniduma, and Manikdiwela factories adopt the conventional orthodox process to produce a wide range of leafy and small grades. Around 90% of our production is sold at the Colombo Tea Auction, with the remainder serving the local market through our island-wide sales centers.
