Founded in 1841 by the British "Merchant & Agent" Captain Wiliam Mackwood, Mackwoods Limited has the distinction of being the second oldest company in Sri Lanka. Surviving two world wars, the Company remained with the Mackwoods family until 1956 when its ownershp passed into the hands of the visionary Sri Lankan entrepreneur N.S.O. Mendis. Under his inspired leadership the company expanded into many areas, and today, Mackwoods is a conglomerate of several companies engaged in such diverse activities as Agribusiness and Plantations, Healthcare, Manufacturing, information Technology and Import/Export Trading. The present Chairperson of the company is the daughter of N.S.O.Mendis, Mrs. Sriyani Nonis, and in the third generation her daughter Mrs. Nirmali Samaratunga, and her son, Dr. Chris Nonis, are on the Board of Directors.
