Maliban has been ranked the No. 1 Most Loved Product Brand in the LMD Readers' Choice Most Loved Brands 2026, reaffirming its place as one of Sri Lanka's most trusted, recognised, and cherished homegrown brands.

Adding to this achievement, Maliban was also ranked No. 1 in the Packaged Foods (Ready to Eat) category, emerging as Sri Lanka's Most Loved Packaged Food (Ready-to-Eat) Brand for the third consecutive year. Together, these recognitions underscore the enduring trust, loyalty, and emotional connection that Maliban has cultivated with generations of Sri Lankan consumers.

The recognition places Maliban ahead of many leading local and international brands and reflects the strong affinity consumers continue to have for a brand that has remained a part of Sri Lankan homes for more than seven decades. Whether through its iconic biscuits, evolving product portfolio, or commitment to quality and consistency, Maliban has maintained a unique place in the hearts of consumers across the country.

LMD's Brands Annual is one of Sri Lanka's most respected business publications. The Readers' Choice Most Loved Brands rankings are compiled through an independent research process conducted by PepperCube Consultants on behalf of Media Services. The study captures consumer perceptions across a wide range of corporate, product, and service categories, providing valuable insight into brand preference and public sentiment.

For Maliban, these achievements represent more than rankings. They are a tribute to the millions of Sri Lankan families who have made Maliban a part of their daily lives, from childhood memories and family gatherings to everyday tea-time traditions. As a proudly Sri Lankan brand, Maliban has continued to evolve while remaining grounded in the values that have defined its journey: quality, trust, care, and consistency.

Positha Perera, Group Head of Corporate Communications at Maliban Group of Companies stated, "Being ranked No. 1 among LMD Readers' Most Loved Product Brands and being recognised as Sri Lanka's Most Loved Packaged Food (Ready-to-Eat) Brand for the third consecutive year is a deeply meaningful honour for Maliban. These recognitions belong to the generations of Sri Lankan consumers who have welcomed us into their homes and continued to place their trust in our brand. We are truly grateful for their love and support."

The latest recognition follows Maliban's continued success across several respected brand rankings and industry platforms, including its recent recognition as a Superbrand Sri Lanka 2025 in both the Food (Biscuits) and Food (Savoury) categories. Together, these milestones reinforce Maliban's enduring leadership and its ability to remain relevant across generations.

As Maliban looks ahead, the brand remains committed to upholding the standards that earned these recognitions. With a continued focus on quality, innovation, and consumer trust, Maliban will continue to inspire goodness and strengthen its place in the hearts of Sri Lankans across the island.
