Quality textiles for every Sri Lankan was the
aspiration, which set in motion the popular domestic
name ‘Salusala’. Opening it’s doors in 1967 to the
Sri Lankan public with a small but elegant showroom
in the heart of Colombo, they soon became a name
to be reckoned within the Sri Lankan textile
diligence. For every reason or season the people of
Sri Lanka flocked to Salusala for all their quality
clothes and linen. No visitor to the country ever
missed out on a visit to the Salusala Showrooms.
In 1971 the thriving textile giant was converted to a
corporation under the state trading corporation act.
It became a limited liability company with it’s long-
term focus on privatization in 1991. The open
economic policies introduced in 1977 gave a new
kind of dynamism to Salusala.They not only
developed their scope in manufacturing the highest
quality powerloom and handloom textiles, but they
also undertook the sewing of textile related
products.
Today garments and textiles have assumed an
important role in Sri Lanka’s economic development,
and Salusala has changed it’s outlook and it’s
thinking to evolve with the times. Today they
broaden their horizons with a retail chain of 25
outlets neatly spread island-wide.
