M.A.RAZAK & COMPANY LIMITED

The Group’s association with shipping dates as far back as the 18th century when the Razak family owned and operated sea-going vessels. The founder of the group, Al Haj Mohamed Abdul Razak had strong connection with regional shipping organizations that led him to establish M. A. Razak & Co. Ltd., in 1953, creating history by becoming the first locally owned shipping agency company in Sri Lanka (then known as Ceylon). The initial agencies operated by the company were the Pan Islamic Steam Ship Company Limited and then Pakistan National Shipping Corporation.
