Printcare expands globally with launch of plant in Nairobi
View(s):Printcare, Sri Lanka’s packaging solutions provider, continued to expand overseas with the inauguration of its state-of-the-art packaging plant in Nairobi, Kenya. This latest venture marks a significant step in the company’s ongoing commitment to provide its global clientele with innovative and sustainable packaging, benefiting both Africa and Sri Lanka.
Located in Nairobi, a hub for East African trade, the new facility highlights Printcare’s commitment to fostering innovation across borders. The plant is a significant investment in the region, aiming to tap into new markets, enhance packaging standards, and support industries such as tea, apparel, horticulture, and pharmaceuticals. With premium offerings like mono cartons, corrugated cartons, and paper bags, the facility is ideally positioned to meet the growing demand for high-quality, eco-friendly packaging in the African region.
Speaking at the inauguration, CEO K R Ravindran highlighted the global significance of this project:
“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. This facility will act as a bridge connecting local industries to global markets, empowering communities and fostering shared success.”
For stakeholders in Sri Lanka, this expansion reinforces Printcare’s ability to remain at the forefront of global trends 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:
“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.
This investment 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.
