The Future Is What We Make
Mr Noel Selvanayagam, the Visionary Founder and President of SENOK Group of Companies, is the principal architect of our spectacularly successful diversified conglomerate.
An aspiring entrepreneur, full of energy and passion and with the foresight to see years ahead, he immediately realised the massive potential of the first business opportunity that came his way in the travel industry in the late seventies, and seized it with fervour and a fierce determination to capitalise on it.Thanks to his indomitable will to succeed, the travel business, where he cut his teeth in entrepreneurship, grew by leaps and bounds. In this venture, he proceeded to engage in travel air ticketing, pilgrim tours, labour exports and knowledge migration to reach his bold goals.
Since the establishment of SENOK TRADE COMBINE (PVT) LTD in 1979, from the travel business, the company has diversified into construction machinery, commercial vehicles, and automobiles. The manufacturing arm of the company too commenced operations in precast concrete, bitumen emulsion, windows & doors, tea production, construction of harbour, airport and hospital construction, and development and maintenance of renewable energy generation in hydro, wind and solar sectors.Today, the company also provides after-sales services in machinery, commercial vehicles and automobiles, and operates in aviation and hospitality industries, and holds lucrative overseas operations in the Maldives, Uganda, and Kenya.
The SENOK Group, a privately-held diversified conglomerate based in Sri Lanka, has a total workforce of approximately 850 employees, who’re well-trained personnel stationed locally and overseas. At SENOK Group, we remain unfazed and undeterred in the face of all kinds of challenges posed by the changes in our business environment, and firmly believe our inherent resilience will see us succeed and prosper under any circumstances. Hallmarked by perseverance, determination, reliability and ambition, we venture out to take on various projects, and respect and value our business partners, suppliers and financiers, and adhere to sound corporate governance practices and strong corporate ethics in the pursuit of corporate goals.
