History

The Colombo Picture Palace was established as a sole proprietorship by the late Al haj S M M Hussain in the year 1943 as a firm involved in picture framing, glass and mirror related industries. At a later time the company was involved in the printing business mainly printing colourful posters. The Colombo Picture Palace commenced operations at Armour Street but later shifted operations to 104, Prince Street, Colombo 11. Presently the firm operates from 102, Prince Street, Colombo 11.

CPP was the first Sri Lankan company to commission a fully automated silvering conveyor which required substantial capital investment since it was of European origin. CPP was also the first to purchase expensive beveling and edging machines to process glass.

The Colombo Picture Palace had its factory and stores located at 507, Price of Wales Avenue, Colombo 14

CPP was also pioneer glass exporter to the Middle East including Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi etc in the 1970s
