Finch Foods has expanded its presence by opening a premium travel retail outlet at Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA), marking a major milestone in its ambition to establish a globally recognised Sri Lankan food brand. Situated within the Departure/Transit Duty Free area, the new outlet offers international travellers an opportunity to experience some of Sri Lanka's finest food products and gift collections before departing the country.
The outlet features a carefully curated selection of premium Ceylon products, including cinnamon, vanilla, botanicals, authentic Sri Lankan spices, superfoods, natural wellness products, artisan foods, premium honey, natural oils and exclusive gift collections. Designed as an immersive shopping destination, the retail space highlights Sri Lanka's rich agricultural heritage, culinary traditions and craftsmanship through a contemporary premium retail experience.
Beyond being a new retail location, the airport outlet represents an important strategic step for Finch Foods. With a permanent presence at Sri Lanka's main international gateway, the company aims to introduce high-value Sri Lankan products to travellers from around the world while strengthening its mission of promoting the country's finest produce through innovation, premium branding and expanded global market access.
Finch Foods was founded with the vision of building a globally competitive Sri Lankan food business. The company initially focused on representing and distributing leading international FMCG brands before recognising the opportunity to create its own premium range of Sri Lankan food products for both local and export markets. While Sri Lanka has earned international recognition for products such as Ceylon cinnamon, tea and spices, Finch Foods sought to move beyond exporting raw commodities by developing value-added products capable of competing in international markets.
Driven by authenticity, quality and innovation, the company's product portfolio combines Sri Lanka's agricultural strengths with modern product development, premium packaging and internationally accepted quality standards. Finch Foods operates under globally recognised food safety and quality management systems, including GMP, HACCP, ISO 22000 and ISO 9001, ensuring its products consistently meet international expectations.
