- Ceylon Beverage Holdings PLC is an investment holding company that operates as the leading brewer, marketer, and distributor of alcoholic beverages in Sri Lanka through its core operating subsidiary, Lion Brewery (Ceylon) PLC. Founded in 1910 and headquartered in Colombo, Sri Lanka, with primary manufacturing facilities in Biyagama, the company functions as a subsidiary of Carson Cumberbatch PLC under the ultimate ownership of Bukit Darah PLC, maintaining a long-standing strategic alliance with the Carlsberg Group. The company manages a multi-tier commercial portfolio organized across three principal segments: Brewing and Manufacturing; Importation and Wholesale Distribution; and Retail and Hospitality Operations. Its core product and service offerings comprise proprietary malt beverages and beers, including Lion Lager, Lion Strong, Lion Stout, Lion Ice, and specialty craft ales; licensed international beers, ciders, and stout produced or distributed under franchise, including Carlsberg Pilsner, Carlsberg Smooth Draught, Carlsberg Special Brew, Guinness, and Somersby Cider; heritage and value beer brands, including Three Coins Lager and Ryder’s; imported spirits, premium wines, and non-alcoholic beverages; and the management of licensed wine stores, pubs, and dining outlets through subsidiaries including Pubs ’N Places (Private) Limited, Luxury Brands (Private) Limited, Retail Spaces (Private) Limited, and Pearl Springs (Private) Limited. Ceylon Beverage Holdings PLC serves domestic retail, supermarket, hotel, restaurant, and bar channels, as well as an export footprint encompassing more than 25 international destinations, such as the Maldives, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, East Africa, and North America. In recent developments, the company expanded its manufacturing and international supply chain agility by securing contract brewing operations in Vietnam through the Carlsberg regional production network, diversifying its production base beyond its primary Biyagama brewery. Additionally, the company commissioned the Lion Innovation Center for Craft Brews, a specialized small-batch facility engineered to formulate, test, and scale innovative craft recipes and premium variants for regional and overseas markets, while continuing to upgrade its distribution architecture and premium brand portfolio to capture growing tourist and export demand.
