Narrative Brief about the company

Raigam Wayamba Salterns PLC

Established in 2005, Raigam Wayamba Salterns PCL is a BOI company engaged in the manufacture, refining, packaging and marketing of salt and salt based value added products. The trade is widely accepted to give one of the highest profit ratios in the manufacturing field compared to the investment. The company’s manufacturing facilities are situated in two strategic locations, giving a unique advantage in minimizing transport costs of the finished product. Salt, being a low value commodity, has a very high cost component in transport. Having manufacturing facilities in Puttlam and Tangalle have definitely given Wayamba Salterns an advantage over its competitors. It should also be pointed out that solar salt manufacture is one of the very few industries where the raw material (brine) and energy source for the manufacturing process (sun light) is totally free of charge. Raigam has a unique advantage of its own having full control of vertical integration starting from raw materials to the door step of its consumers. There are only few such industries existing in the world where any manufacturer/marketer has almost total vertical control over its operation.
