Our story

Sri Lanka's first distributor of imported fishing nets.

J.P. Fernando & Sons was founded in 1953 to bring imported fishing nets and accessories to Sri Lankan fishermen. Through decades as agent for Japanese and Korean brands, and later as a manufacturer in our own right, one principle has stayed the same: Quality First.

What goes into our nets
Every net we make starts with TORAY Japan yarn.

Our Quality First principle led us to use TORAY Japan nylon yarn in all of our own fishing-net brands — and J.P. Fernando & Sons became sole agent and single distributor of TORAY products in Sri Lanka.
