COLOMBO – Printcare, Sri Lanka’s leader in packaging solutions, has taken a bold step in its global expansion journey by launching a state-of-the-art packaging facility in Nairobi, Kenya. The strategic investment underscores the company’s commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable packaging solutions to its international clientele while fostering economic ties between Africa and Sri Lanka.
Situated in Nairobi, a key hub for East African trade, the facility represents a landmark achievement for Printcare and positions the company to meet the rising demand for eco-friendly, high-quality packaging across sectors such as tea, apparel, horticulture, and pharmaceuticals. The plant is designed to set new benchmarks for quality and sustainability in the African region by offering premium products like mono cartons, corrugated cartons, and paper bags.
Speaking at the inauguration of the new plant, CEO K.R. Ravindran emphasized the global and local impact of the venture. “This plant is not just another factory. It is a gateway to new markets for our innovative Sri Lankan product lines, and an opportunity to elevate packaging standards and drive economic growth in Africa,” he said, adding that the facility will act as a bridge connecting local industries to global markets, empowering communities and fostering shared success.
For Sri Lankan stakeholders, the venture reaffirms Printcare’s status as a trailblazer in packaging innovation. The expertise, technologies, and sustainable practices deployed in Nairobi reflect the same pioneering spirit that has driven Printcare’s success at home.
Chairman Abbas Esufally further underscored this synergy, noting, “While this plant in Kenya is dedicated to serving East Africa, it embodies the same principles that have shaped our operations in Sri Lanka: innovation, sustainability, and quality. Our investments overseas are intended to enhance our access to these markets and bolster our brand globally, which, in turn, elevates the reputation and competitiveness of Sri Lankan exports.”
The Nairobi plant features state-of-the-art technology and is designed to uphold the highest environmental standards, ensuring both operational efficiency and sustainability. By reducing the carbon footprint of packaging solutions and promoting eco-friendly materials, Printcare remains committed to creating a greener, more sustainable future for all its stakeholders.
As Printcare expands its global presence, the company’s Sri Lankan roots remain integral to its identity and mission. This new chapter not only strengthens Printcare’s position as a leader in packaging solutions but also opens new opportunities for collaboration and growth across regions, ensuring mutual benefits for Sri Lanka and its international partners.
It also marks the beginning of an exciting new journey – one that reinforces Printcare’s role as a global ambassador for excellence, empowering businesses in Sri Lanka and beyond to thrive in the global marketplace.
