Group Activities
Printing and Packaging
Equipped with state-of-the-art, hi-tech machinery, our printing company is acknowledged as a leader in high quality printing and packaging. We cater to the packaging needs of many international Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) manufacturers based in Sri Lanka, and also the island's major tea exporters. A joint venture with a leading printing company in UK has been formed to service the Sri Lankan garment industry.
Infrastructure Development
Aitken Spence has ventured into the power and energy sector and has taken pioneering steps as the first truly
Sri Lankan private sector company to take a lead role as an Independent Power Producer (IPP). Initially, the company has commenced work on two projects, each of which will sell 167 GWH of energy annually to the Ceylon Electricity Board, for a project period of 10 years.
Plantations
Aitken Spence is a partner of a consortium, which owns two plantation companies comprising 33 estates, covering a total of 15,701 hectares of land situated in the best tea planting districts of the island. As part of a diversification programme, unproductive land is being converted to oil palm cultivation and a joint venture has been formed to set up a mill to process palm oil. Steps have also been taken to market packaged tea to India.
Cargo Logistics
Aitken Spence has, since its inception, been a major player in the shipping and freight forwarding industries. We provide a full spectrum of logistics and supply chain management services through various subsidiaries. We are the agents for several international shipping lines and NVOCC principals, and a pioneer in Sri Lanka of inland container handling.
