Our Story

From lush green pastures of the central highlands, our humble beginnings trail back to the cool climates of the Bogahawatte Patana area, also known as the beautiful Kotmale Valley. With Cargills acquiring Kotmale Holdings in 2010, which was established in 1967 as Lambretta (Ceylon) Ltd, Kotmale has transformed to become one of Sri Lanka’s national dairy brands, contributing to the nourishment of the country and strengthening the local dairy farming community. Kotmale brings you a wide variety of high-quality dairy products at affordable prices, including Fresh Milk & Value-Added Milk, Cheese, Butter, Ice Cream and Set Yoghurt & Drinking Yoghurt, which have become island-wide favorites.

Our Mission

We are focused on being the largest contributor to the national dairy industry.

Our Vision

Enriching Livelihoods &
Nourishing the Nation

We believe in doing more than just providing quality products at Kotmale. We play a vital role in enriching communities; because to produce goodness you have to spread goodness. That is why we have built a close relationship with our dairy farmers, by building milk collection centers, providing employment opportunities to enrich their livelihoods and that of their families. Together we strive to build a more sustainable and self-sufficient nation, while providing our consumers with the most nutritious locally sourced fresh milk at the best prices.

Innovation at its best

We have introduced new innovative products to meet our consumer’s needs and convenience. The introduction of the ‘Kotmale Lite: Low Fat Drinking Yoghurt’ with only 1% fat and no added sweeteners (available in both Vanilla and Strawberry flavors) for those concerned about sugar levels, is one such example. The Kotmale Lite drinking yoghurt is full of nutrition and flavor, all packed in a bottle for both the young and the old.

We have also innovated to bring out the lighter and more fun side of life with innovations such as the “Set Yoghurt” and an ideal breakfast range of “Stirred Yoghurt” for children and young adults alike for on-the-go consumption.

We like to take things a step further as always, so we introduced the family-sized yoghurt packs that come in 450g cartons of Set and Vanilla yoghurt.

Some of the newest additions to our range include the Kotmale cheddar cheese and the rich, creamy, and wholesome pasteurized Kotmale salted and unsalted butter.
