Gal Oya Plantations is proudly powered by the strategic partnership of two of Sri Lanka's largest and most respected conglomerates. Their strength, diversity, and vision drive our success.
Brown & Company PLC
Over 140 Years of Heritage
Brown & Company PLC (BCL) is a diversified conglomerate with operations in seven key industry sectors.
BCL uses their deep understanding of Sri Lankan consumer needs derived from over 140 years in business, to deliver quality in products and services to Sri Lankans everywhere.
The group works with several leading global brands including: Austrian Airlines, BG, Continental Airlines, Eclipse, Exide Batteries, Intervet, Oce, Olympus, Sharp, Eukanuba, Tafe, Zagro, Yanmar Marine Engines, Ashok Leyland Marine, Pitney Bowes, Scandinavian Airlines, Makita, Maktec, F. G. Wilson, Yamasha, Daelim Royal Boiler Co, MFG, Sifang, and Massey Ferguson to name a few.
BCL already knows they are a household name across the Island. But the depth, diversity, and strength of our operations are not often apparent to even our most loyal customers. BCL has grown quietly yet exponentially into the active, sophisticated, and valuable company we are today – simply and unobtrusively, by greatly expanding our portfolio and delivering excellence in products, services, and value to everyone we serve.
Thirty-four years ago, a company with a very good eye for the future opened its doors to provide what was then Sri Lanka’s pioneer portfolio of leasing solutions.
Over the intervening years, this bold and dynamic approach has enabled LOLC to grow its business beyond the field of leasing and into many other areas within the financial services realm. Our aim then was to become one of Sri Lanka’s premier total financial solutions providers.
LOLC soon became the LOLC Group as it established group companies specialized in offering financial services beyond leasing. Leveraging the synergies from its diversified portfolio, LOLC began to offer services such as fleet management, information technology, and vehicle-related services.
LOLC took a strategic decision to align new business development with the emerging areas of growth and development in Sri Lanka, seeing the Group move into Agriculture, Leisure, Construction, and Renewable Energy.
Today, LOLC is one of Sri Lanka’s truly sustainable business conglomerates. What has not changed are the qualities of dynamism, agility, passion, and that unique ability to open up opportunities for all. From budding entrepreneurs to top corporates, our business has always been about empowering people.
