At Link Natural, qualified agronomists and post harvest technologists team up with the R&D to ensure the sustainable supply of quality and authentic raw materials.
Exchange of knowledge is inculcated in the culture of Link Natural Products. R&D team works very closely with universities and other institutions in a mutually beneficial manner.

Link Natural Products establishes world class R&D centre
To accelerate innovation and expand its global footprint
Link Natural Products (Pvt) Ltd., makers of renowned brands such as Samahan and Sudantha has taken another pioneering step in establishing a world class Research & Development centre. This modern facility has a full range of state-of-the-art equipment and laboratory facilities required for high level basic and applied research. It is manned by trained, experienced and skilled scientists supported by a team of advisors and experts. With the commissioning of this purpose designed facility, Link Natural Products has enhanced its capabilities for analytical research and innovative product development to truly international level. The company is well poised to transform the development of nature-based health and wellness products to levels hitherto unrivaled in Sri Lanka.
A multitude of natural health and wellness remedies are already in use across the world and are increasingly sought after. Yet, nature’s vast potential for such products remain largely undiscovered, untapped and unavailable to a majority of people. In keeping with its philosophy of fusing the wisdom of Ayurveda and other traditional systems of medicine with modern science and technology, this new R&D centre aims to tap into nature’s abundance and discover new pathways and processes that will help innovate and develop safe and efficacious health and wellness solutions.
Dr. Devapriya Nugawela – Founder, Chairman/CEO of Link Natural Products commenting said, “apart from discovery and innovation, an essential requisite in developing nature-based solutions is to conclusively prove the efficacy and safety of ingredients and end products to meet regulatory standards and requirements of each country. Also, product claims and claim support need scientific validation. This calls for using internationally recognised scientific testing protocols and conventions to provide the necessary evidence and proof. The launch of this new R&D centre enables Link Natural Products to meet these requirements and develop new and better natural health and wellness solutions and in so doing become a significant player in herbal healthcare and wellness industry nationally and globally.”
This R&D centre has the resources and capabilities to generate the wide spectrum of knowledge and data necessary to ensure that only the best plant material is used in the manufacture of products and to ensure that products manufactured by Link Natural Products will always meet the highest standards of safety and quality. The centre also has a fully equipped pilot plant which is essential to establish the processes for making new products developed in the laboratory, so that they can be scaled up for industrial manufacture.
The comprehensive library and archives along with the auditorium will provide researchers, scientists, and academics the facilities for knowledge enhancement and much needed dialogue and discourse. This center will also function as a knowledge hub for exploration and advancement of the science of natural products. It will provide access to many;from global bodies seeking specific natural solutions to local companies and to universities desiring to further the knowledge and understanding of nature based solutions. Commenting further, Dr. Devapriya Nugawela said; “Sri Lanka is rich in biodiversity and has a long and well-documented history in the use of plant material for health wellness purposes evidenced by thousands of years of knowledge and practice of Ayurveda and Deesheeya Chikithsa, and can be a significant global player in this industry. However, much remains to be discovered and learnt about the secrets of nature and its true potential before developing new products with health and wellness benefits. One of the principal activities of this new R&D centre is to enable these endeavors.”
With this world class R&D centre, Link Natural Products aims to transform the innovation and development of nature-based wellness solutions and make them readily available in Sri Lanka and the world over and enhance its reputation as a leading maker and marketer of safe and efficacious natural healthcare and wellness products.
