KIK

What KIK does

KIK Lanka (Pvt) Ltd is a Sri Lankan electrical engineering company that designs, manufactures, and commissions custom low voltage power distribution solutions for industrial enterprises. Founded in 1994 and headquartered at the Export Processing Zone in Katunayake, the company operates as part of KIK Group of Companies under Chairman Lalith Kahatapitiya. Its manufacturing scope spans Main Switch Boards and Power Control Centers, Changeover Panels, Motor Control Centers, Synchronizing Panels, Capacitor Banks for Power Factor Correction, Sub Distribution Boxes, Metering Panels, and an Automation Systems line that includes SCADA, ICA Panels, Remote Communication, and Cloud-Based Remote Monitoring and Control.

All assemblies are type-tested to IEC 60439-1/IEC 61439-2 standards and carry an unusually dense international certification stack: ASTA/Intertek type tests at ratings from 2500A to 6300A (with 100kA/1sec short-circuit withstand at the top tier), CPRI certifications for the Indian market, IEC 61641 internal arc fault protection, seismic test certification, and IP54 through IP66 enclosure ratings. Modular enclosure design — produced internally by group subsidiary KIKBLOX — allows flexible L-shape, U-shape, single-front, or double-front configurations and supports currents up to 6300A, with form of separation up to Form 4b. The product architecture is engineered-to-order rather than catalog-driven, with specifications tailored per-site.

KIK runs an enterprise field sales go-to-market: direct engagement with engineering and procurement teams at industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, telecommunications, banking, hospitality, and commercial building customers across Sri Lanka, India, the Maldives, and the UAE. Pricing is custom quote-based and not publicly disclosed, reflecting configuration variability. Revenue mechanics combine hardware sales (the panel itself) with professional services revenue covering automation/control system design, engineering, and commissioning. The customer base includes Hyundai Motor India, Ceylon Tobacco Company, Dialog Axiata, Hatton National Bank, Commercial Bank of Ceylon, Bank of Maldives, Hilton International, Brandix, Shin Nippon Air Technologies, and Keangnam Enterprises. Group-level vertical integration (KIKBLOX enclosures, KIK Engineering LV switchgear sales) and 30+ years of operating history support the company's positioning as the leading regional exporter of low voltage electrical panel boards.
