ALFT Packaging Company Chairman Lakshman De Fonseka headed the launch of the second phase of ALFT Packaging – a brand new, state-of-the-art production facility at Ekala.
The new plant primarily consists of European machinery including world-renowned W&H Miraflex II printing machinery and other technologies, offering local and global businesses with highest quality packaging on par with top international standards.
“For the first time in Sri Lanka, we have in-house plate-making technology. Apart from that, the innovation that the latest machinery like W&H Miraflex II offers is exceptional quality, colour options, room for creativity and lead time. It also creates vast marketing opportunities for our clients,” commented ALFT Packaging Company Chairman Lakshman De Fonseka.
“This occasion turns a new leaf, not only for ALFT but for the packaging industry itself, as international technology of this calibre is making its way into the country for the first time. Needless to say, this advanced technology will revolutionize the way our clients experience packaging. Our client Prima was the first to launch their seasonal packs using the latest technology.’’
“We are optimistic that this venture will benefit the economy as local companies can reduce dependence on international suppliers, compete strongly in the export market and it also opens opportunities for ALFT to cater to international clients. In that sense, this is truly a remarkable achievement for Sri Lanka’s packaging industry’’ Fonseka further added.
On top of high quality and other advantages, ALFT offers an outstanding service to their customers, a highlight of which is the fully equipped laboratory that facilitates customers to do their testing using ALFT’s highly sophisticated equipment.
Commenting on this, ALFT Packaging Company Managing Director Chathura Jayatissa said “Best customer service and 100% transparency policy are cornerstones of our success. Our clients have been greatly appreciative of our commitment to confidentiality and the lowest lead times which support their agile marketing efforts.”
