Transforming mealtimes in Sri Lanka
Mahinda Ranasinghe
Founder/Managing Director

Finagle, Sri Lanka’s largest industrial baker, is a testament to visionary leadership, innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. Established in 1975 as Ran Ovens, the company was driven by the vision of Mahinda and Anoma Ranasinghe.

With only a Baby Belling oven, this dynamic duo embarked on a journey to make Finagle the most preferred brand for every Sri Lankan meal occasion. Over the years, Finagle has undergone several transformations and achieved significant milestones.

In the year 2000, the company formed a joint venture with Finagle a Bagel of Boston in the US and Phoenix Ventures of Sri Lanka (Brandix), marking a pivotal point in its growth trajectory. Demonstrating the true spirit of entrepreneurship, Mahinda Ranasinghe acquired 100 percent of the shares in 2011, solidifying Finagle’s position in the market.

From its humble beginnings, Finagle has grown to become one of the largest industrial bakers in the country. The organisation’s expertise in producing a range of sandwich breads with premium quality has elevated Finagle as the most loved and preferred brand of bakery products among millions of customers. This success is a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Finagle’s vision extends beyond being the most preferred household brand of quality breads. The company has always been an innovative leader in the sector. One of the biggest pieces of evidence of this is the introduction of frozen range bakery products to the local market in 2013. By adding quality and convenience, Finagle created a combination that makes consumers fall in love with the brand more.

Finagle’s journey extends beyond the boundaries of countries and continents. In 2016, Finagle began its international expansion, which now includes six countries: the US, Australia, New Zealand, the Maldives, South Korea and the UK. This global presence underscores Finagle’s commitment to bringing the taste of Sri Lanka to the world.

As Finagle continues to grow, the company is set to revolutionise the way Sri Lankans eat. With a host of exciting innovations in the pipeline, Finagle aims to elevate the meal occasions of Sri Lankan families, ensuring that quality and convenience are always at the forefront of its offerings.

Driven by a vision that started with a small oven and grew into an international brand, Finagle’s journey is a remarkable example of what can be achieved with dedication, innovation and an unwavering entrepreneurial spirit. The future promises even more exciting developments as Finagle continues to lead and innovate in the bakery sector.
