From a 50-Year Legacy to a Future-Focused Export Brand
Although PLA Exports (Pvt) Ltd is a young company, its roots extend back over five decades of entrepreneurial excellence. The company was founded on the vision and experience of Mr. P. J. A. Fernando, a pioneer in Sri Lanka’s coir, coconut oil, and export industries.
Beginning his journey in the 1970s within the coconut-based coir sector, Mr. Fernando steadily expanded into coconut oil manufacturing, international exports, seafood processing, and charcoal production. This deep industry knowledge laid the foundation for PLA Exports—an organization built to meet modern global demand with proven expertise.
Today, PLA Exports combines traditional industry wisdom with modern technology, allowing it to compete confidently in global markets while maintaining trust, credibility, and excellence.
