AB Mauri Lanka Recognises Longstanding Partnership with David Stores at Prime Yeast Launch

AB Mauri Lanka Private Limited has launched its new Prime Instant Dry Yeast 500g pack, offering a reliable and practical option for bakers across Sri Lanka. The product is designed to perform consistently and meet the daily needs of both professional and home bakers.

AB Mauri is a well-known name in the global baking industry, with operations in over 100 countries and 56 manufacturing sites. In Sri Lanka, AB Mauri Lanka has become known for supplying dependable baking products and providing technical support to the local baking community.

As part of the launch, AB Mauri Lanka handed over the first batch of Prime Yeast to David Stores, a long-time distribution partner based in Madampe. The event was held during a small gathering, where Mr. R. S. Kumara, the proprietor of David Stores, received the initial supply.

David Stores has been part of Sri Lanka’s baking supply business since 1973. It commenced operations by the stewardship of Mr. S. R. David in Madampe and later moved in 1990 to the town’s weekly fairgrounds to better reach local customers. That same year, Mr. Kumara took over the business reigns and began expanding its reach to more bakeries in the region.

Since then, David Stores has continued to grow and now supplies a variety of bakery ingredients, including Prima-brand flour. The business later moved to a larger location in Madampe Sembukutiya to support its growing customer base.

Speaking about the partnership, Mr. Kumara said, “Working with AB Mauri has helped us maintain the quality and consistency our customers expect. We’ve always focused on good service and reliable products, and AB Mauri has been a big part of that.”

The working relationship between AB Mauri Lanka and David Stores has continued for many years, built on mutual goals of offering quality products and supporting local bakers.

The launch of Prime Yeast is part of AB Mauri Lanka’s wider effort to support the baking industry in Sri Lanka, not just by providing products, but also through long-term partnerships, hands-on training, and technical support. Whether through established distributors like David Stores or direct work with bakers, the company remains focused on what works best for the local market.
