Knowledge is the source of true power, the kind of in-depth industry knowledge that helps us look after our loved ones while providing our customers with a range of high-quality products. We practice positive productivity, prioritizing the staff’s mental and physical wellbeing.
Getting to know our customers allows us to provide them with the best products and services in line with their needs, driving our success and good performance.

Family bound by steel

On a daily basis, LANLO is home to thousands of our family members who work together in manufacturing, sales, aftersales or distribution. Each member has a role to play, understands their contribution towards the brand’s success and in turn, we ensure that their needs are met. This creates a direct positive impact on the overall LANLO experience.
Manufacturing
Our Yakkala production facility has benefitted greatly through developments resulting in high-spec production covering a wide range of processing technologies and our extensive experience in steel product development since 2002. This paved the way for LANLO to claim the No.1 position in the Sri Lankan market.
SALES
The LANLO sales team has stood strong and built relationships island-wide with a long-term distribution network of over 3000 dealers supervised by qualified and experienced representatives. The Yakkala production facility too is located 17 km away from the Outer Circular Expressway or an hour away from the Bandaranaike International Airport, giving us quick and easy island-wide distribution access.
AFTER-SALES
Our after sales and quality control teams continue to monitor the consistency and durability of our products, ensuring a lasting and positive user experience. The team is trained to maintain customer relationships and collect feedback that helps improve products to better suit geographical conditions with evolving practices.

The teamwork and unity seen within our network is extended to every relationship encountered in our line of work, which is why we consider our customers part of our LANLO family.

Our Brand
Our Brand
Just as LANLO holds a rich history, so does our logo.
Sri Lanka or Ceylon as we were known, made its global mark in the world through various trades which in turn contributed to the island’s evolution into a globally known hub. Apart from its strategically advantageous location, Sri Lanka offered a plethora of products that helped those in need while contributing to the local’s livelihood.
Our logo takes us back to a time when Ceylon royalty ruled and thrived in global trading while enabling communities to improve themselves. One such ruler was King Parakramabahu who represents Sri Lankan innovation and ingenuity. Our land was one of bountiful harvests, we were well known for trade and our agriculture industry was booming, allowing local communities to build, expand and unite.
The primary focus of our logo is an illustration of King Parakramabahu while the 3 coin-shaped circles represent our core values: Quality, Passion & Performance. We use both naming variations to establish our rebranding and to solidify that both claim their roots in the same history and experiences.
