Founded by Mr. David S. Rasiah | Serving Science and Medicine Since 1956
Our Story
For over seven decades, Laboratory Equipment Company (Pvt) Ltd has been dedicated to supporting the advancement of science, education, medicine, research, and industry in Sri Lanka. Since our establishment in 1956, we have remained committed to bringing quality laboratory products from leading international manufacturers to Sri Lanka, helping laboratories, educational institutions, medical establishments, and manufacturing industries achieve accuracy, reliability, and excellence in their work.
Our founder, Mr. David S. Rasiah, established the company with a clear vision: to support science education in Sri Lanka by making high-quality laboratory equipment and scientific products accessible to the country’s growing scientific community.
During his studies for the BSc degree through the University of London, Mr. Rasiah developed a strong passion for establishing a business that would serve the needs of science education and laboratory training in Sri Lanka. Inspired by this ambition, he founded Laboratory Equipment Company (Pvt) Ltd in 1956, laying the foundation for a business built on quality, integrity, and service.
What began as a vision to serve the scientific community has grown into a long-standing family-run business with a proud heritage spanning more than seven decades.
