History

The company was founded in 1982 as a

Foundation of Goodness to sponsor a coaching programme for school cricketers. The company has continued its partnership with the Foundation since then. In 2015, Fuji Cement Company (Lanka) merged back with the Tokyo Cement Company.[8] In 2020, the company entered into an agreement with the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka for an expansion plan worth US$12 million.[9]

Operations

In 2021, the company recommended to the government of Sri Lanka to extend the restriction imposed on importing cement in light of the depreciation of the Sri Lanka rupee. Managing Director S. R. Gnanam stated that the local manufacturers could meet 90% of the country's demand for cement.[10] The revival of the construction sector in the post-pandemic times is expected to increase the revenue of the Tokyo Cement by 12% in 2022.[11]
