Our Story

A Legacy of Quality Since 1967

From humble beginnings in Pettah to a global brand, our journey is built on trust, quality, and the rich heritage of Sri Lanka.

1967

The Beginning

Born in the vibrant trading heart of Pettah, Colombo 11, our journey began in 1967 as a humble Ceylon tea dealership. Surrounded by the energy of Sri Lanka's oldest commercial district, we built our foundation on a simple yet powerful belief—to deliver genuine quality with honesty, consistency, and respect.

Building Trust

At Nathan & Brother, quality is not a promise; it is a tradition passed down through generations. Over decades, we have nurtured long-standing relationships with farmers, producers, and suppliers across the island, ensuring that every product meets our uncompromising standards.

Commitment to Excellence

Every product we source, manufacture, and trade reflects the richness of Sri Lanka's natural bounty and cultural heritage. From careful selection of raw materials to responsible processing and packaging, we uphold the values that have defined us since the beginning.

Modern Standards

As wholesalers, manufacturers, importers, and exporters of Sri Lankan food products, we seamlessly blend time-honored practices with contemporary standards. Our operations are designed to meet the evolving demands of both domestic and international markets.
