About Us

The Helix mindset

Invested in your success

When you partner with Helix, you gain more than machines. You gain a partner with unmatched technical depth, practical experience, and a shared commitment to excellence in the global Orthodox tea industry.

3 generations of expertise in tea manufacture

Helix is owned and led by a third- generation tea-growing family-one of the largest orthodox tea producers in Sri Lanka. This gives us a unique perspective: we understand firsthand the challenges and opportunities of the tea industry from the ground up-from the field, to the factory, to the global market.

Lasting solutions

We meet challenges intuitively,
drawing on our 30+ years of
experience in multiple different
countries and providing our
clients with lasting solutions and
continued customer service.

VALUE ADDITION BEYOND JUST TECHNICAL EXPERTISE

With over three decades of experience, Helix has been involved in the design, manufacture, and installation of equipment in more than 80% of orthodox tea factories in Sri Lanka, and many across East Africa. We even had the privilege of building the first Orthodox Tea factory in East Africa in 1998. As of 2022, Helix Engineering (Pvt) Ltd is no longer a standalone entity. We are part of a diversified conglomerate with 13 subsidiaries and over 3,000 employees. Our group is one of the largest orthodox tea manufacturers in Sri Lanka. We also add value to tea and export to 42 countries globally. Collectively, our engineering companies have contributed designs, services, and machinery to over 230 Orthodox tea factories across Sri Lanka and Africa. This makes us one of the most vertically integrated tea groups in the world.
