Foreconns Canneries established in 1989 is the first fish canning factory in Sri Lanka approved by the European Union. There are over 150 employees currently employed in both the Beruwala and Kalutara plants.

The nature of business at Foreconns Canneries includes the processing of canned and bottled cashews, vegetables, chutneys and pickles and vacuum packed fish and dried fish. Foreconns produces a variety of ethnic food items which are mainly distributed in foreign countries. Some of our main products include Spicy Tuna (Ambulthiyal), Tuna fish curry, Breadfruit curry, Cashew curry and Fish Spread etc.

The maintenance of European Union and Food and Drug Administration (USA) standards together with HACCP, ISO 22000 and SLS certification has enabled us to provide great satisfaction to end users in taste in every piece and drop.

These high quality products thus ensure a shelf life of 2 years. In fact the performance of the thermal sterilization without adding any preservatives or permitted colors will hold its genuine taste and aroma throughout its long shelf life.

The continuous quality and other facility improvements done in satisfying the end users have also been recognized by various entities including Industrial Development Board, National Chamber of Exporters and Export Development Board etc.
