About Goldi
Goldi is the processed meat brand Cargills bought in 1993, together with a processing facility, to strengthen the fresh and processed meat counters in its own supermarkets. What began as a supply arrangement for its own shops has become the leading smallgoods processing business in the country, selling through all channels and exporting; a halal-certified plant was added later to widen the market. Its chicken sausages and meatballs are among the products the company puts forward for national quality awards.

About the owner: Cargills
Cargills is a publicly listed company headquartered in Colombo, Sri Lanka, founded in 1844. Brandtree records 9 brands under its control, and it is listed as CSE: CARG.N0000.
Cargills is Sri Lanka's largest food company, which began in 1844 as a general warehouse, import and wholesale business and until 1983 ran only four upmarket department stores. It now spans supermarkets, dairy, beverages, processed meats, confectionery and restaurants, and reported group revenue of Rs. 272.7 billion and profit after tax of Rs. 10.8 billion for the year ended 31 March 2026. Its distinguishing feature is the agricultural supply chain it built after 1999, buying fruit and vegetables directly from smallholders through collection centres rather than through middlemen, which makes it the single largest collector of produce in the country.
🇱🇰 Goldi and other Sri Lankan brands
Brandtree records a controlling owner for 60 brands that began in Sri Lanka. 1 of them (2%) are now controlled by a company headquartered in another country; Goldi is not one of them.
