DPS Lanka opens new factory

DPS Lanka (Pvt) Ltd which has been producing packing material of various types including varieties of gum tape for packing finished products for the domestic and foreign market has expanded its activities in their new factory in the Industrial Estate at Dankotuwa in the North Western Province and had introduced new types of packing material.

Chief among them are paper tubes (cylindrical paper tubes on which cloth is rolled) and composite cans used for packing tea, sweetmeats and food. This production process is specially an environmental project. The company’s Managing Director Placidus Fernando hopes to take further steps in improving production under the peaceful conditions that are prevailing in the country.

In accordance with the Mahinda Chintana program this project provides jobs in rural areas and further strengthens Sri Lanka’s economy.

As these packing material are produced locally foreign exchange is saved and this is an encouragement for local small and medium scale industrialists.

Production commenced in a factory in the Ragama area and was later shifted to the Dankotuwa Industrial Estate.
