Natural rubber was discovered when Columbus visited Haitai in 1495-1496. In 1876 seeds germinated by Hendry Wickham at Kew Gardens were sent to Sri Lanka. The process of Latex foam manufacturing was first invented by Dunlop Rubber in 1926 using SSF (Sodium Sillcoflouride) process.

Sri Lanka whilst being a pioneer in Rubber cultivation is proud indeed to be the first country to celebrate 100 years of Research & Development on Natural Rubber. This is truly a remarkable achievement.

Today, 95% of the total global rubber production is accounted by Asian countries.
