History
Lunuva (Ceylon) Tea and Rubber Estates Limited was registered in 1907 to acquire the Swinton, Rookatenne, Waldemar, Amblangoda, Galloola and Hopton tea and rubber estates in Ceylon [Sri Lanka]. In 1926 it acquired Hingurugama Tea and Rubber Estates Limited, Brambrakelly (Ceylon) Tea and Rubber Company and Sapumalkande Rubber Company. In 1945 it acquired Crawley Tea Estates Limited.
The company was nationalised by the Sri Lankan government in 1975. In April 1982 it became a PLC (public limited company), and in 1983 it became a wholly owned subsidiary of Harrisons and Crosfield Limited (CLC/B/112).
