News from Biyagama Export Processing Zone

Dipped Products PLC (DPL), a Hayleys Group member, has unveiled an automated central warehouse at the Biyagama Export Processing Zone, aiming to enhance global delivery efficiency. This state-of-the-art facility consolidates storage from Hanwella, Kottawa, and Biyagama factories, streamlining operations, reducing logistics costs, and boosting supply chain visibility.

With 23,000 cubic meters of automated space, the facility marks a digital milestone for DPL’s tech initiatives. The launch was attended by Hayleys Chairman and Chief Executive Mohan Pandithage, DPL Deputy Chairman Rajitha Kariyawasan, and other key figures.

DPL’s strategic investments focus on global expansion, supply chain resilience, and superior service delivery. The central warehouse enhances service capacity, speed, and customer value, propelling future growth.

The warehouse is equipped with a US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) compliant safety system covering 4,200 pallet racks. It features advanced technologies such as modern articulated trucks and product management systems, along with an integrated data tracking system that improves logistical operations. This system enables efficient container tracing from loading to pallet racks, reducing internal transportation needs and cutting inter-factory transport-related Green House Gas (GHG) emissions by 30%.

In another development, Venora Lanka Power Panels (Pvt) Ltd, an export-oriented manufacturer in Sri Lanka, plans to establish an electric panel assembly plant in Australia. This move is expected to enhance product value by 30% and cater to the Australian market’s needs.

 

The PT Garden Hotel is located within the two zones of the zone.
