SCANWELL COLOMBO

“BRIDGING THE DISTANCE”

In 1989, with the decision to further expand into the Asiatic region, Scanwell established new operations in the commercial capital and logistical hub – Colombo. Scanwell Logistics Colombo was established as an exclusive, independent agent – with services being decentralized through the port city office. The Colombo based office is now the center of operations for our branches in both Bangladesh and India – making it a strategic maneuver that has streamlined operations across the Neighbouring countries and within the region.

Scanwell Logistics Colombo commenced operations with an expert team of 15 employees, who were fully dedicated to providing a dynamic portfolio of solutions. Now, after nearly three decades of operations we are recognised for our best ethical practices within the Sri Lankan freight industry. In addition, owing to the hard-work and prowess of 90 expert personnel, our shipment volumes continue to grow substantially each year, as our team of specialists plan and execute logistical solutions for importation and exportation of cargo which includes commodities such as; apparel, perishables, tea, coco peat and many more.

BRIDGE 2 PEACE

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

As a corporate citizen we bear a sense of responsibility for the well-being of disadvantaged individuals in our communities. In fulfilling our obligations to the society, we have joined hands with Bridge 2 Peace – a registered non-profit organization formed as an immediate response to the devastation wreaked by the 2004 tsunami. Founded by Ms. Bernadine Anderson, the organization is supported by family and friends.

Fundamentally, Bridge 2 Peace provides the rural communities in Lunugamvehera, Batticaloa and Diyathalawa with early childhood education, teacher training and vocational skills building programmes – structured to facilitate learning and empower children of impoverished families.

Bridge 2 Peace has a keen awareness that education is imperative for building upstanding citizens and a just society. Therefore, they provide more children with access to education with the expectation that its long term impact will reverberate throughout the broader community; and with the hope that children will have a chance in life to live safely from exploitation. Their ultimate goal is to retain students by extending support to children and young people.
