As the company prepares to resume operations in 2025, Lanka Tractors Limited is poised to re-enter the market as a key player in Sri Lanka’s agricultural landscape, with a renewed commitment to delivering affordable, reliable, and innovative mechanization solutions that support the nation’s farmers and help strengthen the country’s agricultural future.

Cultivating Tomorrow

The legacy of Lanka Tractors Limited stretches back over 50 years, tracing its roots to the landmark establishment of the State Trading (Tractor) Corporation, which was tasked with importing and marketing both two-wheel and four-wheel tractors at competitive prices. Restructured in 1991 and rebranded as Lanka Tractors Limited, the company grew to become at one point, the largest single importer and distributor of tractors in the country, playing a central role in advancing mechanization across Sri Lanka’s farmlands.

Chairman's Message

For decades we have stood alongside the nation’s farmers, delivering essential mechanization solutions that have helped shape the backbone of Sri Lanka’s agricultural economy. Today, as we look toward the future, we remain steadfast in our commitment to supporting the country’s agricultural sector — a sector that not only feeds the nation but also secures livelihoods, strengthens rural communities, and drives national progress.

Our mission is clear: to provide high-quality, reliable, and affordable agricultural machinery that empowers farmers, enhances productivity, and supports the sustainable growth of our nation’s agricultural landscape. We aim to be more than just a supplier — we aim to be a trusted partner, a knowledge resource, and a driver of positive change in Sri Lanka’s farming communities.
As we move forward, I extend my heartfelt thanks to our shareholders, employees, partners, and, most importantly, the farming community that continues to place their trust in us. Together, we will work to ensure that Lanka Tractors Limited not only honours its legacy but also builds a future defined by innovation, resilience, and shared success.
