Senok Trade Combine

Senok Trade Combine (Pvt) Ltd, commonly known as SENOK, is a privately-held diversified conglomerate based in Sri Lanka. Founded in 1979 by entrepreneur Noel Selvanayagam, the company began in the travel industry — air ticketing, pilgrim tours, labour exports and knowledge migration — before expanding into construction machinery, commercial vehicles and automobiles. Today SENOK describes itself as a highly diversified conglomerate whose footprint touches many aspects of life, with deep-seated roots going back to 1979 and a workforce of over 850 people directly employed across roughly 20 group companies and 18 business verticals. The group's machinery and equipment arm represents leading global brands in construction, commercial transportation and logistics, serving infrastructure development in South Asia and East Africa. Its product range includes backhoe loaders, hydraulic excavators, motor graders, heavy and light compaction machinery, milling machines, asphalt pavers, bitumen distributors, mini dumpers and mobile concrete mixers, mobile and crawler cranes, forklifts, compressors and generators, and attachments. SENOK is a fully-fledged dealer for Hyundai, UD Nissan and other commercial truck and bus brands, and operates a state-of-the-art Subaru automobile service centre on Grandpass Road in Colombo. Manufacturing operations include UPVC window and door systems made with German extrusion material, mining and aggregates through SENOK MINING (PVT) LTD with a Nakayama crushing plant at a 19.5-hectare quarry in Kotadeniyawa producing 150 tons of aggregate per hour, and precast concrete through the country's first precast concrete manufacturing yard in Seenigama, Southern Sri Lanka, in an exclusive joint venture with Finnish specialist JEKS PRECAST SDN BHD. The group also produces tea, bitumen emulsion, and has undertaken construction of harbour, airport and hospital projects, as well as development and maintenance of renewable energy generation in hydro, wind and solar sectors. Beyond its home market, SENOK holds overseas operations in the Maldives, Uganda and Kenya, and operates in aviation and hospitality. The company remains privately held and family-led, with Noel Selvanayagam serving as Founder and President and described as the principal architect of the group's diversification strategy.

Senok Trade Combine (Pvt) Ltd was established in 1979 by entrepreneur Noel Selvanayagam, who is described as the visionary founder and president of the SENOK Group of Companies. The company's first business opportunity came in the travel industry in the late 1970s, where Selvanayagam engaged in travel air ticketing, pilgrim tours, labour exports and knowledge migration. This travel business grew rapidly and provided the foundation for the group's later diversification. From the travel business, SENOK diversified into construction machinery, commercial vehicles and automobiles. The company became a fully-fledged dealer for major international brands including Hyundai and UD Nissan, and later added Subaru automobile sales and service. Its machinery and equipment division built longstanding partnerships with leading global vehicle, machinery and equipment brands in construction, commercial transportation and logistics, serving infrastructure development in South Asia and East Africa. The manufacturing arm commenced operations in precast concrete, bitumen emulsion, windows and doors, and tea production. SENOK operates the country's first precast concrete manufacturing yard in Seenigama, Southern Sri Lanka, in an exclusive joint venture with JEKS PRECAST SDN BHD, a leading Finnish company specialising in the manufacturing and installation of precast systems. SENOK MINING (PVT) LTD operates a Nakayama crushing plant at a 19.5-hectare quarry in Kotadeniyawa, producing 150 tons of top-quality aggregates per hour, with operations spread across nearly 50 hectares. The group also manufactures UPVC window systems using German extrusion material, tropicalised for local weather conditions. SENOK has also undertaken construction of harbour, airport and hospital projects, and the development and maintenance of renewable energy generation in hydro, wind and solar sectors. The group operates in aviation and hospitality industries and holds overseas operations in the Maldives, Uganda and Kenya. Today SENOK describes itself as a highly diversified conglomerate with deep-seated roots going back to 1979, directly employing over 850 individuals across approximately 20 group companies and 18 business verticals. The company remains privately held and is headquartered in Sri Lanka.
