Our venture into the world of spice trade began almost thirty years ago as a family affair. Originating from the southern region of Sri Lanka, our roots were embedded in a land abundant with cinnamon, a legacy shaped by the Dutch manipulation of the Ceylon cinnamon trade.
The dedication of Eng. Damith Rajapakse and Mrs. Hiranga Runage to win the world of spices brought sapiri spice (pvt) Ltd into life. Their vision breathed new life into our once ordinary business, transforming it into a beacon of growth both locally and internationally. Eng. Damith Rajapakse’s trust in our spice supplies elevated our presence from wholesale markets to becoming a trusted supplier to prestigious government entities, including the Sri Lankan army, a milestone achieved in 2023.
Our evolution wasn’t solely confined to traditional practices; we embraced modernization by transitioning from basic processing to value-added operations such as spice powdering and essential oil extractions. This expansion was facilitated by combining our inherent advantage of being in major harvesting grounds with engineering expertise and marketing acumen brought in by Eng. Damith Rajapakse and Mrs. Hiranga Runage.
Today, our state-of-the-art processing facilities are a testament to this journey. The in-house design and manufacture of machinery under Eng. Damith Rajapakse’s direct supervision have significantly reduced operational and construction costs. We take pride in sharing these efficiencies with our clients, ensuring top-notch quality while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
Our legacy is not just in spices but in fostering growth, contributing to the development of villages, and continuing to set industry benchmarks. We look forward to sharing our story through the aromatic journey of our spices, connecting with customers who appreciate excellence, integrity, and the rich heritage of Sri Lankan spices.
