Asia Siyaka Warehousing (Pvt) Ltd is a fully owned subsidiary of Asia Siyaka Commodities PLC, a licensed Tea, Rubber and Commodity broker and a leading market intermediary in the tea industry. Incorporated in 1998 and listed on the Colombo Stock Exchange in 2012, the company is renowned for its innovative and dynamic approach, sophisticated technology, and advanced logistics solutions in a largely traditional sector.

The company owns and manages the world’s only “Green” tea auction logistics center, which is Leed certified  (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and holds a leading share in excess of 20% of all teas stored for the Colombo Tea Auction. Established in 2000, Asia Siyaka Warehousing (Pvt) Ltd operates an advanced logistics center in Colombo, with 200,000 sqft and 29,000 racking spaces capable of managing 11 million kilograms of tea at any given time. It is probably the largest tea auction logistics center in the world and the first of its kind in the South Asian region for storage of tea, featuring a fully computerized advanced pallet racking system.

Located in the outskirts of Colombo with quick access to the port and highway network, the century-old Colombo Tea Auction has been transformed into a fully digitized tea distribution and management center, benefiting from the state-of-the-art warehousing and logistics facility. The logistics center has enabled brokers to add considerable value to the pre and post-auction logistics process, cutting costs and operating time at both ends of the value chain. This has helped Sri Lanka develop the shortest tea-to-cash cycle in the world.

Asia Siyaka Warehousing is the first tea broker warehouse in Sri Lanka to be ISO certified in 2001 and is being managed under the new ISO 22000, 45000:2018 standards. It has also been awarded the USA Green Building Certification and is solar-powered with a low carbon footprint.The logistics center is an industry benchmark for the tea broking community and a model used by other brokers, trading and marketing companies in design and layout planning for their own units. 

 Asia Siyaka  believes that its competitive edge is its experienced human resource. The company ensures a safe and rewarding work culture for its staff, while also placing tremendous importance on safeguarding the environment and reducing its carbon footprint through several initiatives such as extensive renewable energy usage, lower consumption of water, efficient and sustainable agriculture practices and automated processes towards a paperless working space.
