Celebrating
Our First Golden Jubilee

Since CRYSBRO’s inception in 1972, the founding father of CRYSBRO has never compromised on three key elements; hygiene, quality, and trust. With a genuine passion for excellence in our product for nearly fifty years, we have built a reputation and a promise for delivering the best culinary experience for customers to delight in.

CRYSBRO HISTORY

In 1972, a determined young man with an unbridled vision to create the best culinary experience revolution in poultry made his way into the industry. Mohamed Imtiaz, the founder of CRYSBRO, over the years, has laid the formula for great chicken by refining breeding, processing, and packaging, making CRYSBRO the only ‘Chicken Specialist’ in Sri Lanka with an unparalleled reputation for quality and freshness.

Mohamed Imtiaz chose Sri Lanka’s finest lands, the central highlands, to set up his farms. Generally, animals raised in such lush conditions are wholesome, moist, tender, and naturally taste better. Quality always speaks louder, and with the confidence and approval of satisfied customers, CRYBRO’s development into new territories expands as does her place in the market as a leading player and chicken exporter.

Known to drop the odd pearl of wisdom, our founding father drives the idea of ‘cleanliness is next to godliness’ through the values and norms of the company as a whole to ensure quality is never second to profit. Therefore, when it comes to our customers, CRYSBRO leads with the utmost care to fulfill every need, be it taste, cleanliness, or value for money.

Started with 100 Chickens

The story of CRYSBRO began in 1972 when our founder, Mohamed Imtiaz,was gifted 100 chickens by his mother. The young lad of 17, blessed with vision and exceptional business acumen, took the initiative to build what has emerged as Sri Lanka’s most scientifically managed chicken producer, with professional staff, state-of-the-art facilities and a most sought-after brand of farm-fresh chicken.
