The Hanshin Legacy
Navigating Success
Upul Herath, the visionary founder of Hanshin, was highly inspired by Japanese culture and teachings which he experienced personally during his tenure at Kansai University in Japan in the early '90s. In 1998, he ventured into entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka, establishing Hanshin Lanka Pvt Ltd, named after this positive influence.
The word ‘Hanshin’ derives from an amalgamation of two Japanese letters or characters - the second kanji character from the word Osaka and the initial kanji character from the word Kobe - symbolising the geographical expanse of Osaka, Kobe, and nearby areas within the Kansai region in Japan.
Over the years, Hanshin Lanka Pvt Ltd evolved into a thriving entity, achieving remarkable success in both Sri Lanka and Singapore. Specialising in general trading, construction, and property development, the company built an impeccable track record. Celebrating a 25 year journey and furthering the momentum of organisational success and growth, the Board of Directors of Hanshin Lanka Pvt Ltd launched Hanshin Shipping and Logistics (Pvt) Ltd - a fully owned subsidiary of the Hanshin Group, representing a strategic move forward.
