In the 1970s, Mr. Garumuni Lal De Silva, the eldest son of late Mr. Garumuni Peter De Silva, entered into International Markets delivering high quality Ceylon Cinnamon to the global spice industry. We proudly embody True Ceylon Cinnamon as we hold significant operations in various avenues in the Global Spice Industry creating a vibrant legacy for over 7 decades.
