As the industry emerges from a tumultuous year, ALFT Packaging shows us how long-term planning and proactive thinking can enable a business to survive and even thrive in turbulent times. The organisation which recently celebrated its third anniversary was started with the intention of filling the growing need for technologically advanced, international standard, flexible packaging solutions, without having to rely on expensive imports for customers.
ALFT began with the coming together of several leading minds in the packaging industry, determined to engineer a solution that would satisfy demand and cater to future trends in packaging. The factory is purpose-built to meet international safety and hygiene standards and it’s the country’s only British Retail Consortium (BRC) “AA” certified flexible packaging facility.
The production plant is designed to support automated machinery and minimum handling.
The goal since inception was to provide packaging solutions in accordance with global health and safety standards making ALFT uniquely prepared for the post-pandemic world.
Speaking about ALFT, Managing Director ChathuraJayatissa explained, “When starting ALFT we had the single-minded vision of providing flexible packaging solutions that were on par or even better than the best in the world. Today, the measures we have taken allows local manufactures to function seamlessly in a period with restricted imports and the highest levels of health and safety protocols. Throughout our journey, our clients have been equal partners with us, and we are very thankful to them for the shared learnings. As always, we remain environmentally conscious, socially aware, and customer-centric in everything we do.”
“Visiting dignitaries and representatives of multinationals are amazed at the size, scope, and sophistication levels of our operation. We have a policy of total transparency and allow all our clients to witness the inner workings of our factory any time they want to visit,” said Chathura Jayatissa.
The organization is all set to grow its operations to meet sustainability, and customization needs of the market. ALFT’s expansion into new ventures is based on its main vision to not only to reduce Sri Lanka’s import burden through supporting local businesses but also meet Sri Lanka’s export ambitions in the future.
