About Us

In 1998, under the V.M group of companies, D'Lanka Fin Exports (Pvt) Ltd was established by our esteemed founders, Vijitha Mannakkara and Suganti Fernandopulle. After hiring just three people, D'Lanka Fin Exports (Pvt) Ltd has grown to employ over thirty people, with its main office located in Negombo, Sri Lanka, and purchasing offices in Singapore, Dubai, and Hong Kong.

Shark fin processing and exporting done ethically was pioneered by D'Lanka Fin Exports (Pvt) Ltd. Due to the cruel methods used to kill sharks, fishing for near-extinct species, and the high demand for these fins due to their ethical status, shark fins are somewhat of a taboo topic. D'Lanka Fin Exports (Pvt) Ltd only strictly practices ethical fishing (all of our supply comes from ethical and legal sources), and our exports are only permitted by national law. We possess all the licenses required to operate, store, and export shark fins.

Our Vision

At D'Lanka Fin, our vision is to become the global leader in exporting the highest quality dried shark fins, setting the benchmark for excellence, sustainability, and ethical sourcing.

Our Mission

Our mission at D'Lanka Fin is to deliver the highest quality dried shark fins to the global market by upholding strict quality standards, promoting sustainable fishing practices, and supporting ethical sourcing. We strive to enhance customer satisfaction while contributing to the economic growth of Sri Lanka.
