What Asian Hardware does

Asian Hardware (Pvt) Ltd is a Sri Lankan hardware retailer operating from Colombo with two physical showroom locations at Mahavidyala Mawatha (Colombo 13) and Messenger Street (Colombo 12), alongside an islandwide e-commerce storefront. The company sells a broad assortment of hardware, building materials, aluminum extrusions, and home/office equipment organized across approximately 19 product categories including doors & windows (locks, hinges, handles, smart locks), furniture (office chairs, dining sets, gaming chairs), kitchen appliances (rice cookers, cooker hoods, sinks, taps), ladders, lighting, bathroom accessories, glass fittings, curtain and wardrobe hardware, retail display racks, and tools.

The underlying technology stack is a WooCommerce/WordPress-based e-commerce platform with online shopping cart, account management, and secure payment processing, supplemented by category-specific sales hotlines for Kitchen, Furniture, Ladders, Door Locks, and Display Rack categories. The catalog carries partner brands including Euro Aluminium, WEIDER, JAGUAR, ARMOR, ALTECO, ALPHA, KENWOOD, and others, indicating a multi-brand retail model rather than in-house manufacturing.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and B2B retail with one-time transactional pricing in Sri Lankan Rupees, occasional promotional discounts of 10–25%, and islandwide shipping. The customer base is segmented across individual residential consumers, commercial/office buyers, and supermarket/retail operators seeking display fixtures. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and the company operates as a privately held private limited entity with no evidence of institutional investment, acquisitions, or recent funding activity.
