CBL (Ceylon Biscuits Limited) Biscuits

CBL (Ceylon Biscuits Limited) is a premier food manufacturer with a legacy dating back to the late 1960s. The brand first gained prominence by manufacturing high-protein biscuits for the Care international school feeding program in Sri Lanka, which eventually led to the development of its flagship 'Munchee' brand. Over the decades, the company has grown from a specialized biscuit manufacturer into a diversified conglomerate.

Today, CBL is one of the largest food companies in South Asia, operating multiple state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. While its primary production hub remains in Sri Lanka—where it holds a dominant market share—the group has expanded its manufacturing footprint to other regions, including Bangladesh. This expansion allows the brand to serve both local markets and maintain its position as a significant exporter to over 60 countries globally.

Ownership of the CBL brand remains with the founding family via the Ceylon Biscuits Limited group. The company is characterized by its integrated business model, managing its own supply chains from agricultural sourcing to retail distribution. This self-reliance has allowed CBL to innovate across multiple categories, including chocolates (Ritzbury), cakes (Tiara), and cereals (Samaposha), while remaining a wholly Sri Lankan-owned global entity.
