CEYLINCO HOUSE, once the tallest building in Sri Lanka

The establishment, expansion and success of Ceylinco Limited symbolize the country’s climb from a colonial past to its present state of economic vitality and future prosperity.

The stature & successful track-record of Ceylinco Limited stand pre-eminent in Sri Lankan commerce just as the Ceylinco House building – Colombo’s first highrise - dominated the capital’s skyline for almost 20 years during 1960 – 1980 era.

Successor to the pioneering Ceylinco Insurance Co. Ltd, - which at the time the Government monopolized the insurance business in 1964 led the field, with over 80,000 policies – Ceylinco Limited was among 08 private sector companies granted the status of Principal Agent for the newly formed National Insurance Corporation in March 1980.

Being a leading player in the insurance industry in the decade of 1980-90, we held the position of leading Principal Agent of National Insurance Corporation in terms of volume of business generated.

The privatization of the Insurance business in mid-1987, led the formation of Ceylinco Insurance Company Limited, a visionary step intended to bring Ceylinco once more to the position of leader in the field of Insurance in Sri Lanka.

With the vast experience gained during last 80 years, today Ceylinco Limited operates as one of the leading commercial property development & management company in Sri Lanka.
