About Ceylon Platinum Trading
A family-built enterprise committed to delivering quality hardware solutions to the builders of Southern Sri Lanka.
Who we are
Hardware excellence, Southern Sri Lanka
Ceylon Platinum Trading (PVT) Ltd is a Matara-based hardware and construction products retailer dedicated to providing high-quality tools, materials, and equipment to homeowners, contractors, and builders across Sri Lanka's Southern Province.
Founded in 2026, CPT was built on the conviction that Southern Sri Lanka deserves access to the same premium hardware brands and expert service available in Colombo — without the distance. Our 167/B1 Old Tangalle Road, Kotuwegoda showroom was designed to reflect that ambition: a professional retail space stocking hundreds of products across five major categories.
