Venkadeshwara Agro Industry Ltd marked a major milestone as a company based in the Northern province, as it has become an entity which contributes to Sri Lanka’s economy and with its official launch of its new retail pack range of edible oils, margarine and bakery fat products under its flagship brand Enova. 
“It is said that the Western province makes the biggest contribution to Sri Lanka’s economy but one must remember that there are others who contribute to the economy across the country,” Venkadeshwara Agro Industry Chairman Bradley Emerson said at the launch. 
“The birth and growth of Venkadeshwara Agro Industry stand as powerful reminders that the strength of our nation’s economy is not defined by geography but by the vision and determination of its people. Suganthon’s entrepreneurial journey is a remarkable testament of courage, resilience and the pursuit of possibility against all odds. As a Board, we are truly inspired to stand alongside Venkadeshwara Agro Industry Ltd at this pivotal moment. We believe wholeheartedly in the company’s potential, and we are confident that the company will not only elevate the manufacturing sector, but also energize a new wave of innovation and opportunity across the country,” he added. 
The unveiling took place at a grand annual convention and product launch event at Taj Samudra Hotel, attended by distinguished guests, corporate partners, and the national media.
The newly introduced range is designed to cater to the evolving needs of both households and commercial clients, offering premium-grade ingredients for everyday cooking and advanced baking applications. Developed with an emphasis on convenience, quality, and consumer trust, ENOVA’s new retail product line expands the company’s presence in the Sri Lankan FMCG and modern trade markets.
