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 celebrated its third anniversary recently. 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. The production plant is designed to support automated machinery, and minimum handling. Further, underground cables are used instead of the usual overhead electric lines to prevent entrance points that could cause contamination, completely wallpapered interiors, stainless steel floors, and separate sections for every operation with its own temperature-controlled internal environment.
The goal since inception was to provide packaging solutions in accordance with global health and safety standards making ALFT prepared for the post-pandemic world.
Managing Director Chathura Jayatissa said, “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 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.”ALFT’s high-tech facility is not limited to only their manufacturing process.
It includes numerous facilities for employees such as in-house hostel and auditorium.
