Lanka Ceramics is the successor of the once famous Ceylon Ceramics Corporation. The Corporation was an empire in the manufacture of ceramic ware including earthenware and sanitary ware with a host of brick and tile factories and raw material factories. What is its successor Lanka Ceramics Today? Does it manufacture ceramic ware? If not what happened to the once internationally reputed ceramics industry in Sri Lanka?.
