Baurs on bringing the world to Sri Lanka
As one of the most historic sayings that goes ‘Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country’, A. Baur & Co. (Pvt) Ltd, also more widely known as Baurs has been doing exactly the same uninterruptedly ever since its founder Alfred Baur stepped into this beautiful nation. Baurs are now a legacy with a presence in Sri Lanka for over 125 years and with an appetite to only grow stronger and more resilient than ever before.
Amidst the numerous challenges and evolving contexts over the many decades, Baurs has been contributing tremendously to the sustainable growth and wellbeing of the nation, going through the agri, industrial and knowledge-era together. Owned by its parent, a foundation, Alfred et Eugénie Baurs back at Geneva, Switzerland and with its values deeply rooted in its Swiss traditions, Baurs is truly Sri Lankan in every other way possible.
Being the pioneers in the agriculture industry of Sri Lanka, the track-record innovation and achievements of Baurs and its contribution goes without saying. It possesses one of the most advanced, high-tech fertilizer mixing facilities in the whole of Southeast Asia, with machinery and equipment imported from best-in-class industry players in the US.
