Our Vision

To keep empowering people with a better way to life.

Our Mission

We at Abans, through our products and services, empower people with a better way to life, by empowering them to make better choices, while protecting the environment for an even better tomorrow.

Board of Directors

Mrs. Aban Pestonjee

Chairperson

“My passion has always been to make everyday way to life better for everyone. Through the products and services Abans offered, people’s quality of life enhanced and they could spend more time with their families and friends. The world is rapidly changing, making the need to focus on healthier choices and protecting the surrounding environment becoming more important. When Abans opened its single store in Bambalapitiya back in 1968, the electronics market was led by much larger, multinational businesses. While the situation was daunting, I never backed down and never lost my focus. From a single store to expanding into a diversified conglomerate with an island wide network of over 400, the journey has been long and rewarding. With passion, commitment and relentless perseverance, any dream can be achieved.”
