Eagle Logistics Colombo yesterday celebrated its 19th anniversary, marking nearly two decades of growth, innovation, and commitment to the freight forwarding industry.

Founded in 2005, Eagle Logistics Colombo began as a modest enterprise but has grown into a dynamic leader in the logistics sector, with a broad portfolio of services that reach beyond traditional freight forwarding.

The company was established through a partnership between its visionary Founder/CEO Asanga Weerackody, and CL Synergy Ltd.

Starting with a humble five-member team, Eagle Logistics quickly honed its focus on providing outstanding freight forwarding services. With a clear mission to excel in customer service and operational efficiency, the company steadily grew in both reputation and capability. Today, Eagle Logistics stands out as one of the most innovative logistics service providers in the country, continually pushing boundaries and adapting to the ever-changing demands of the industry.

As Eagle Logistics reached its 19th year, the company’s contributions to the logistics industry are undeniable. Over 600 individuals have entered the logistics workforce, nurtured through training, exposure, and hands-on experience at Eagle. The company’s emphasis on cultivating talent has not only bolstered its internal operations but has also enhanced the industry as a whole, producing skilled professionals who carry Eagle’s legacy of excellence wherever they go.

In 2011, Eagle Logistics took a significant step forward by creating its supply chain division, e-visible, which has since played a pivotal role in the company’s diversification and growth. With e-visible, the company branched out into new sectors, including 4PL (fourth-party logistics), pharma logistics, logistics BPO (Business Process Outsourcing), and education. This diversification has allowed Eagle Logistics to become a full-service provider, offering innovative supply chain solutions that meet the changing needs of the global logistics market.

One of Eagle Logistics’ standout contributions is the establishment of the e-visible Academy of Logistics, which plays a key role in fostering education and professional development within the industry. Through the academy, the company continues to support the next generation of logistics professionals, ensuring that the industry remains equipped with knowledgeable, capable individuals.

In addition to its business operations, Eagle Logistics is committed to giving back to the logistics community through various initiatives. The company has been instrumental in organising networking events, forums, and other platforms for industry professionals to connect, share ideas, and stay informed about the latest trends and innovations in the supply chain sector. These efforts reflect the company’s dedication to community building and knowledge sharing, helping the industry as a whole to grow and evolve.

Looking back on 19 years of success, Founder/CEO Asanga Weerackody remains a driving force behind Eagle’s continued growth. Under his leadership, the company has not only expanded its footprint in the logistics and freight forwarding industry but has also contributed significantly to the broader supply chain community in Sri Lanka and beyond.

Eagle Logistics Colombo said as it enters the next phase, the company remains committed to its vision of being one of the most innovative logistics service providers in the country. With a strong foundation and a forward-looking approach, Eagle is poised to continue its role as a leader in the logistics industry for years to come, providing innovative solutions and maintaining the high standards that have been its hallmark since inception.

As Eagle Logistics Colombo celebrates this milestone, it looks toward the future with confidence, building on its rich history and embracing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. The company remains committed to pushing the boundaries of logistics innovation and continuing to serve the industry with excellence.
