What Sisili Hanaro Encare (private) Limited does

Sisili Hanaro Encare (private) Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sri Lankan conglomerate Sisili Projects Consortium Pvt. Ltd., operating the group's environmental engineering and waste management division under the EnCare brand. Established in 2014, EnCare delivers end-to-end clinical, hazardous, cytotoxic, shipboard, and e-waste management services through a Public-Private Partnership with the Central Environmental Authority and Ministry of Health, and is the only company in Sri Lanka authorized island-wide to manage cytotoxic waste. Core technology rests on advanced international-standard incineration with flue gas cleaning systems, paired with QR code-based digital tracking and GPS-enabled logistics management; the Colombo facility has a processing capacity of over 15,000 kg of clinical waste per day, backed by a USD 5.2 million investment. In 2024, EnCare extended into licensed e-waste management under Basel Convention guidelines and, since April 2023, runs a door-to-door household waste collection service with a dedicated female-led fleet.

The broader Sisili Projects Consortium — founded in 1980 as Sriyani Industries and rebranded in 2002 — operates five wholly-owned subsidiaries: Sisili Healthcare (medical disposables and pharmaceutical distribution), Sisili Hanaro Encare (waste management), Sisili Trading (exports of coconut, tea, and spices), Sisili Engineering (CIDA-accredited construction), and Sisili Swastha Global (travel and tourism, launched 2023). The group distributes medical products through 44 main distributors and 19 other distributors covering all 9 provinces and 25 districts of Sri Lanka, reaching 163 private hospitals and 1,308 pharmacies; healthcare supply contracts with the Sri Lanka Ministry of Health are a major revenue anchor, complemented by named private hospital groups including Asiri, Nawaloka, Durdans, and Lanka Hospitals. Group revenue was reported at $18.5 million in 2023 with 200+ employees across the consolidated business.

Revenue mechanics combine recurring B2B service contracts for waste management, government procurement for medical disposables, export sales for trading, and project-based engineering work. The company is privately held by the Abeysekera family, with Udaya Abeysekera as Chairman (39+ years) and Chinthaka Abeysekera as Managing Director; no external institutional investors or public listing are disclosed. Strategic positioning centers on regulatory exclusivity in waste management, government PPPs, and a diversified conglomerate platform, with recent recognition including six FCCISL Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 awards and Great Place to Work certification.
