Some companies grow quietly. Others grow by building trust, one partnership at a time. At IT Gallery, our story is very much the second kind — nearly two decades of steady, deliberate growth that has taken us from a small computer accessories reseller to a leading ICT distributor and solutions partner serving over 1,000 partners across Sri Lanka and beyond. Along the way, we've distributed more than 2 million products, built relationships with 10+ global brands, and picked up 7 industry awards. Here's how we got here.
It all began in 2007, when IT Gallery was established as a dedicated technology company focused on computer accessories and systems. It didn't take long for that early focus to expand — within the year, we had broadened our product portfolio to include branded laptops, cybersecurity products, and even integrated solutions like Car Park Management Systems, setting the tone for a business that was never content to stay in one lane.
The years that followed brought early recognition and diversification. In 2008, we were awarded for the best sales performance in the Western Province, an early sign that the hard work was paying off. Around the same time, our portfolio grew to include CCTV and surveillance solutions, backed by a partnership with major software brands like Norton and AVG a step that would shape our identity as a security-focused distributor for years to come.
By the early 2010s, that momentum turned into formal recognition from the biggest names in tech. We achieved Intel Gold Partner status and received a Kaspersky Bronze Sales Award, cementing our credibility with global technology leaders. Not long after, between 2012 and 2016, we entered a period of major expansion launching OCEAN, our own brand of computer peripherals and multimedia products, while also being appointed distributor for Hikvision and CAT UPS. We deepened our technology partnerships with names like Dell, Microsoft, Cisco, and Fortinet, and grew our distribution network to more than 450 partners.
The pace of growth only picked up from there. In 2017 and 2018, we became an authorized distributor for EZVIZ Smart Products and formed an official partnership with A4Tech, expanding our reach into smart devices and accessories. Then, between 2018 and 2020, came one of our most significant milestones yet: being appointed as a Lenovo distributor, alongside becoming certified partners for Alibaba Cloud and G&O a leap that positioned IT Gallery for global-scale distribution.
That global ambition became reality between 2021 and 2023, when we launched IT Gallery SG PTE LTD in Singapore to serve the South Asian market, added HIKSEMI enterprise storage products to our distribution lineup, and grew our Software Group with SoftGallery, GalleryHR, and GalleryInvoice — strengthening our hardware distribution with a growing suite of software solutions. From 2023 to 2024, our focus expanded further west, with the establishment of IT Gallery FZCO in Dubai to open doors in the GCC market, the launch of Pantum Lanka as a subsidiary, and an expanded portfolio featuring Wi-Tek networking and Quick Heal cybersecurity.
In 2024, we marked 19 years of innovation a milestone reflecting nearly two decades of trust, technology delivery, and partner success across Sri Lanka and the region, powered further by international tech tours and partner engagements that reflected our growing industry influence. And most recently, in 2025, we were honored with Lenovo's Distributor Excellence Award, recognizing our standout performance in distribution and channel growth a fitting milestone as we continue to strengthen our position as a trusted regional distributor.
From a small accessories reseller in 2007 to a distributor with offices in Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Dubai, IT Gallery's journey has been built on the same principle every step of the way: earning trust, one partnership at a time. And with nearly two decades behind us, we're just getting started.
