MACKWOODS PLANTATIONS (PVT) LTD.
Mackwoods is a pioneer in the management of tea estates and,
has been involved since the inception of tea plantations in Sri
Lanka. In recognition of the Company's proven track record in
plantation management, the Company was appointed as Advisors to
the Government of Zambia in respect of the agricultural and management
aspects of the Zambian tea estates in the early 1970's and was
also subsequently successful in its competitive bid to manage
a plantation Company again when Mackwoods was selected to manage
Agalawatte Plantations Ltd, consisting of 17 tea and rubber estates,
spanning 27,000 acres. Each estate is run as a separate Strategic
Business Unit, each with a staff of over 500 inclusive of all
housing, welfare, health, and education facilities, a substantial
factory and production and processing facility. Mackwoods successfully
turned around this Company into a profitable enterprise within
one & a half years of management and subsequently acquired controlling
interest in the Company.
