- C T Holdings PLC is a Sri Lanka-based diversified conglomerate engaged in retail and wholesale distribution, fast-moving consumer goods manufacturing, restaurant operations, real estate development, entertainment, and financial services. Founded in 1928 and headquartered in Colombo, Sri Lanka, the company operates primarily across Sri Lanka through key subsidiaries including Cargills (Ceylon) PLC, CT Land Development PLC, Ceylon Theatres (Pvt) Ltd, and CT CLSA Holdings Limited.
The company organizes its business into several core operating segments: Retail and Wholesale, which operates an extensive nationwide chain of supermarkets, convenience stores, and distribution hubs under the Cargills Food City and Food City Express banners; Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG), which manufactures and distributes dairy products including fresh milk, butter, cheese, and ice cream under the Kotmale and Magic brands; processed meats, sausages, and ready-to-cook foods under the Supirivick, Goldi, and Farmer's Choice brands; processed agricultural products, fruit juices, jams, sauces, cordials, and biscuits under the Kist brand; and animal nutrition products; Restaurants, which operates international quick-service and casual dining franchises comprising Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) and TGI Fridays across the island; Real Estate and Property Development, which develops, leases, and manages commercial shopping malls, entertainment centers, and retail complexes including Majestic City in Colombo and regional Cargills Square developments; Entertainment, which engages in film exhibition, digital cinema operations, and film distribution through cineplexes under the Ceylon Theatres banner; and Financial Services, which delivers commercial banking, microfinance, trade financing, digital banking, and small-and-medium enterprise lending through Cargills Bank, alongside capital market advisory, equity brokerage, asset management, and investment banking services through CT CLSA Holdings.
In recent developments, C T Holdings PLC has executed strategic initiatives to strengthen its capital structure and broaden its consumer reach. The group successfully completed the public listing of its commercial banking subsidiary, Cargills Bank Limited, on the Colombo Stock Exchange to augment Tier 1 regulatory capital and accelerate the deployment of digital financial services and SME lending across regional markets. Concurrently, the company has continued to expand its retail footprint through new Cargills Food City locations and integrated Cargills Square commercial lifestyle complexes in provincial centers. The group has also scaled up investments in domestic dairy processing infrastructure, direct agricultural sourcing networks, and cold chain distribution systems through Cargills (Ceylon) PLC to reinforce supply chain resilience and expand localized food manufacturing capabilities.
