ALFT Packaging advances next-generation packaging solutions for a post pandemic world

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. 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 makes ALFT Packaging one of Sri Lanka’s most cutting-edge manufacturing facility.

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. ALFT Packaging was one of the few organizations designated as essential by the government during even peak lockdown periods as the organization played a vital role in supporting critical infrastructure, making it possible for manufacturers to meet consumer demand.
