Heritage
One family has run this yardsince the 1980s.
Janahitha Fibre Mills began with one drum and one drying yard, and the third generation now ships to buyers under the name JCM Sri Lanka.
Four decades
How a fibre millbecame an exporter.
Each generation added a line, and none of them moved the mill.
- 1980s
A drum and a drying yard
The first generation set up a defibring drum and a drying yard south of Akuressa and sold fibre to exporters in Colombo under the name Janahitha Fibre Mills.
- 2000s
Pith becomes a product
The second generation stopped burning pith and started ageing, washing and pressing it, and coco peat joined fibre as a line of its own.
- 2010s
Four lines on one yard
Twine spinning and curled mattress coir were added, so every part of the husk now leaves the yard as a graded product.
- 2026
JCM Sri Lanka
The third generation now ships to buyers directly under the family name, from the same yard and with the same test before every container.
The family rule
The fibre that leaves the gateis fibre we would buy.
Three generations have run the mill on that one sentence, and it still decides what goes into each container.
What the family holds to
Owned and run by one family
The people who answer your message own the yard and the machines.
Tested before it is pressed
A short bale or a high EC reading is caught on the yard, not at your port.
Rooted in the coconut south
Our husk comes from the estates around Matara, Akuressa and Weligama.
Buy from the familythat mills the coir.
Quotes are FOB Colombo by default, and we can price CFR or CIF to your port.
