In 1948, Hemas started with simple intent: to help families live healthfully. Today, Hemas operates in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, West Bengal and Myanmar, bringing healthful living to life through its offerings.
Over the past 70+ years, Hemas has created daily moments of joy through a portfolio of products and services that delights in its utilitarianism; practiced a more robust version of health that moves beyond the absence of illness; and championed a more inclusive world that celebrates equal opportunity, integration and harmony. These actions have enabled the Group to offer meaningful interventions to all the stakeholders they serve and to showcase Sri Lankan products on the world stage.
Today, Hemas is a public quoted company listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange with over 4,000 shareholders, and is regarded as one of the most respected and transparent companies in Sri Lanka and Asia's Most Socially Responsible Company.[2]
