In the early 1980s, M G Kularatne founded Maga Engineering with a vision to become a model construction company in terms of quality, timely delivery, customer satisfaction, corporate governance and sustainability. The company entered the industry, filling the void created by the high demand for construction activities while working alongside some of the leading construction companies of the world, thus gaining valuable exposure and acquiring construction management skills, which were utilised for the benefit of the domestic industry.
As a construction company in Sri Lanka, Maga Engineering has made a significant mark as a developer of national infrastructure. The company has completed over 400 multidisciplinary projects ranging from buildings, roads and bridges, to water supply and marine structures in both Sri Lanka and overseas. Over the last 30 years, the company has served the key market segments of healthcare, education, highways, trade, information technology, real estate, agriculture, ports and water supply and drainage, in both public and private sectors.
