Established first as a garage shop which then evolved in to a small corner shop in Bambalapitiya, the Abans group of companies was first established in 1968 as an attempt of a young and a courageous housewife to overcome the countless financial hurdles that the turbulent Sri Lankan economy of the 1960's hurtled at her family.

Of course, such a remarkable achievement would never have been possible without the contribution of its devoted employees.
