BITUMIX celebrates 25 years of industry leadership and resilience

BITUMIX (Private) Limited, Sri Lanka’s flagship bitumen company, marks its 25th anniversary, celebrating a journey defined by vision, resilience, and contribution to national infrastructure development. Founded in 2001 by Chairman Ashoka Siriwardena, BITUMIX began as a bold entrepreneurial venture with a clear ambition—to build a sustainable enterprise within Sri Lanka’s road construction materials sector. From modest beginnings, the company has grown into a trusted industry leader, supporting major infrastructure projects across the island and earning the confidence of stakeholders throughout the value chain. Over the past two and a half decades, BITUMIX has navigated global price volatility, economic downturns, exchange rate pressures, legal complexities, and intense market competition. Each challenge tested the organisation’s strength, yet reinforced its determination to adapt, innovate, and grow. Through disciplined leadership and a commitment to quality and integrity, the company has consistently upheld high service standards while strengthening long-term partnerships.

Reflecting on the milestone, Chairman Ashoka Siriwardena noted that reaching 25 years represents not just longevity, but perseverance and shared purpose. He acknowledged the dedication of employees, the loyalty of customers, and the support of suppliers, financiers, regulators, and well-wishers who have contributed to the company’s steady progress. Today, BITUMIX stands as a key vertical of WARDENA VENTURE HOLDINGS, reflecting its structured growth and strengthened governance. The company continues to play an important role in Sri Lanka’s infrastructure sector while positioning itself for future expansion. As it celebrates its silver jubilee, BITUMIX reaffirms its commitment to sustainable infrastructure development, operational excellence, and exploring export opportunities through strategic partnerships. With people at its core and vision as its guide, BITUMIX looks ahead with confidence—ready to pave the future responsibly and together.
