Since entering the Sri Lankan market through a long-standing partnership with Hemas Pharmaceuticals in 1990, Kalbe has expanded its footprint significantly.
From establishing a liaison office in 2006 to the launch of Kalbe Lanka (Pvt) Ltd. in 2019, the company has reinforced its commitment to local operations, marking the start of toll manufacturing to ensure access to high-quality food supplements tailored to local needs.
Backed by world-class research and innovation, Kalbe brings global expertise in pharmaceuticals, consumer health and nutrition to Sri Lanka.
Continuously introducing solutions that align with evolving healthcare needs, the company delivers prescription pharmaceuticals and scientifically formulated nutritional products designed to improve quality of life.
Its commitment to evidence-based advancements is further reinforced through ongoing research collaborations, including a recent clinical trial with the University of Colombo.
Kalbe’s contributions to the local market include a diverse range of nutritional solutions designed to support healthy ageing, recovery, and sugar-conscious lifestyles.
Diabetasol stands as the No.1 trusted choice for adults mindful of their sugar intake, providing a carefully formulated solution to support their nutritional needs.
Meanwhile, Entrasol has become a leading choice in adult nutrition, providing essential dietary support, particularly for individuals recovering from illness, especially when it becomes challenging to meet their nutritional needs through regular meals, often due to a reduced appetite.
Unlike conventional supplements, Entrasol has been clinically studied to enhance muscle strength and overall vitality, ensuring better health outcomes.
The groundbreaking study results published in internationally acclaimed journals in 2024 reiterated Entrasol’s efficacy in improving the nutritional status, muscle strength, activity levels, and overall well-being of malnourished older adults.
This milestone sets Entrasol apart as the only international adult nutrition brand clinically tested in Sri Lanka, reinforcing its commitment to providing proven and relevant healthcare solutions.
Sanjeewa Fernando, Country Manager for Kalbe Sri Lanka, commented on the company’s unwavering dedication to healthcare, stating,
“At Kalbe, health is more than just a business; it is a fundamental right of the people.
Our mission is to ensure everyone has a healthier and protected tomorrow by delivering innovative, science-based solutions to improve lives.
A deep commitment to research and local partnerships allows us to contribute to Sri Lanka’s healthcare landscape and empower individuals to lead healthier lives.”
The expansion of Kalbe’s footprint in Sri Lanka remains focused on delivering healthcare solutions that are both innovative and accessible.
Furthermore, combining global expertise with local investment positions the company to play an even more significant role in supporting the well-being of Sri Lankans for years to come.
