In keeping with our vision of becoming a “….regional holding company…”, and given the opportunities that exist within the rapidly developing economies of the Asian region, we believe that our horizons in all our core business should extent to South and South East Asia. As such, while Sri Lanka will remain our home base, our strategic plan takes into account the need to mobilize resources and develop core competencies that can make all our businesses regionally competitive over time. The challenges we have to contend with in pursuing such a strategy would be numerous, since the competitive and regulatory environments and market entry barriers we have to face would be enormous. Nevertheless we strongly believe that the opportunities that the developing economies in Asia present are too attractive to be overlooked and that any well managed Sri Lankan company should eventually look at integrating itself with the growth trends that are sweeping across the Asian landscape.

We have also realized that the kind of expansion we have planned for the Group cannot take place only through our own efforts. The importance of strategic alliances, joint ventures and other collaborative arrangements that will bring us both the financial resources and the technical and management competencies required for expansion will be continuously explored.  

Locally, we find that our existing resource base and expertise needs to be stretched further to expedite the rate of growth of some of our locally focused sectors.
