About Us
The Founders
Ramanayake
Automobiles (Pvt) Ltd., was started about 1974 as a local second
–hand car company. The founders were Mr. K.P.W. Ramanayake and Mrs.
N. Ramanayake. It is the hard work and the untiring effort of Mr.&
Mrs. Ramanayake, for the last 35 –40 years that has brought –up the
company to this state of excellence. At the start, there were about
five employees on our staff. Most of the work was done on contract
basis.
When Sri
Lanka entered open economy in 1977, things changed and new companies
started importing used vehicles from England, Singapore, Japan etc.,
in addition to the few existing brand new vehicle companies.
Our company too started importing used and re-conditioned vehicles
from Japan in about 1982. The two main banks were, Bank of Ceylon
and Peoples Bank in Fort with no other branches. We must remember
Mr. M.M. Nizar of m/s M.M. Organization with thanks for giving us a
helping-hand to start in the field of Imports. More and more banks
like
Oman Bank, Commercial Bank, Seylan Bank, appeared in every part of
the country. They gave us better facilities and services to compete
with state Banks.
Our first venue
was No. 28, Dharmarama road, Wellawattaa, with a small office .(A
part of our living abode and a small shed to cover about 10
vehicles). Most of the vehicles were lying outside on either side of
the road, facing all weather day & night. Still we had earned a good
name for honest and good service in the field of vehicle trade.
Little by little, we expanded our business and were forced to find a
better and a bigger place. So we reached our new venue at No. 215,
Galle Road, Ratmalana, in 1984 with a small two roomed office and
about 10(Ten) employees, but a bigger yard. This was a, much luckier
place and we could build up-to an honorable and a prestigious name
and give our customers a better service.
One of our
young directors, Mr. Jagath Chandana Ramanayake, leaving for Japan
for studies, made our task easier. While he complete his studies to
acquire B.A Degree and MBA. In Business Management in a Japanese
University, he marched forward to form his own company-RAMA D B K
Ltd; to export vehicles to all parts of the world.

Therefore, we
were more confident and more dedicated in serving our worthy
customers in a better way. We could get all the moral and financial
support that we needed.
Ramanayake Automobiles (Pvt) Ltd; became one of the trusted pioneers
in the whole Island of Sri Lanka of giving more encouragement to go
forward, in the field of vehicle trade. As such in 2002-2003 after
labouringly for over Thirty-Five years, we were able to put-up a
fantastic, beautiful building in place of our vehicle yard.
Presently, we park vehicles in the ground floor and first floor.
Ramanayake Automobiles (Pvt) Ltd, has become the cynosure of all the
people around the area, and people passing us.
