About Verger Naturals (Pvt) Ltd

Verger is a Sri Lankan natural ingredients company focused on spices, spice extracts, botanicals, essential oils, oleoresins, and related processed ingredients. It serves global customers across flavour, fragrance, cosmetics, aromatherapy, wellness, and nutraceutical applications, positioning itself as a supplier of quality, consistency, and ethical sourcing from origin.

Founded in 2014 by Nuwan Delage and Ama after they returned to Sri Lanka, the company says it was built to showcase Sri Lankan spices on the global stage while also strengthening farming communities. Over time, Verger has grown into two complementary verticals, Naturals and Botanicals, and describes itself as a trusted exporter and partner across more than 30 countries and 6 continents.
