Alumex: Four decades of aluminium excellence, innovation and sustainability

In an exclusive interview, Alumex PLC’s Managing Director Pramuk Dediwela reflects on the company’s legacy, its contribution to the nation, and the path ahead.

Alumex has grown to become the market leader in the Aluminium industry in Sri Lanka. Could you take us through its journey from the start upto today?

Alumex was established in 1988 as a joint venture at a time when aluminium extrusion was still a developing industry in Sri Lanka. In 2006, the company became fully Sri Lankan owned, a milestone that allowed us to better tailor strategies to domestic requirements and deepen partnerships across industries.

The next major turning point came in 2010 when we joined the Hayleys Group, one of the largest and most respected conglomerates in Sri Lanka. That integration gave Alumex the scale, expertise, and resources to expand beyond the local market. With more than 35 years of experience, we now hold a dominant share of the Sri Lankan aluminium extrusion market and are gaining recognition internationally. Our journey has been one of resilience, adaptability, and continuous innovation and Alumex’s primary mission has always been to deliver greater value to its consumers

What is the current scope of Alumex’s products and services?

Alumex manufactures a broad portfolio of aluminium extrusion products to meet a wide range of needs, from household fittings to architectural solutions, large scale construction requirements, and industrial applications. These include kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, handrails, fencing systems, curtain walls, windows, doors, and other architectural solutions designed to match modern architectural trends. But we have always positioned ourselves as more than a manufacturer. We are a solutions driven company that supports our customers every step of the way.
