View(s):Advantis Engineering recently opened Sri Lanka’s first fully fledged sheltered manufacturing plant for container conversions. Advantis Engineering, formerly known as Logiventures, has invested Rs. 400 million on this production facility at Peliyagoda, which is dedicated to manufacturing Convertainers – the container conversion solutions offered by the company.
The state-of-the-art manufacturing plant coupled with Advantis Engineering’s new office building spans over a spacious 12,500sqft area. Built according to contemporary architectural concepts, the production facility and the office building comprises of a production floor, mezzanine floor-based office and a customer lounge. Customers can now experience the complete manufacturing process of a Convertainer while seated at the customer lounge, the company, part of the Hayleys Group, said in a media release.
“The new facility attracts customers to experience the real feeling of living inside a Convertainer by allowing them to enter the specially-designed model Convertainer setup at the premises. This allows customers to get a true understanding of how an individual could transform a Convertainer to represent his or her new business identity. Apart from that, customers can share ideas on their dream space solutions with the Convertainers team,” the release said.
With the new facility, the Convertainers production unit gets the unique advantage to work by resisting bad weather conditions and in return, customers will be directly benefited as efficiency will be further enhanced, which results in much quicker lead times and quality improvements. The new manufacturing plant incorporates a number of eco-friendly building elements and green initiatives such as insulated workspace, LED lighting, day-lighting systems which efficiently capture sun rays, rain water harvesting, sound proof interior setup and modern landscaping techniques.
The facility also acts as an integrated multi-logistics center which will be able to provide cold storage solutions, security seals, identification wristbands and light engineering solutions.
