View(s):In contributing towards developing Sri Lanka as a globally competitive hub for logistics, Advantis 3PL Plus, a member of the Hayleys Advantis Group, announced a major expansion of its mega distribution centre, Advantis Logistics City (ALC), strategically situated at Kotugoda, Ja Ela.
The new wing, constructed on two acres, will add 121,000 square feet of warehousing space, expanding the total facility to over 450,000 square feet, making it the largest, and most technologically sophisticated distribution hub of its kind in Sri Lanka. With the addition of ALC, Hayleys Advantis group will operate over 3.5 million square footage of total warehousing space, both locally and regionally, and currently has a distribution footprint spanning over 26.5 million km per annum, the company said in a media release.
Hayleys Chairman and Chief Executive Mohan Pandithage, together with Hayleys Advantis Managing Director Ruwan Waidyaratne, members of the Hayleys Advantis Group Management Committee, valued customers and other stakeholders were in attendance to witness the special groundbreaking ceremony held at the premises on December 8.
“Hayleys has long served as a proud contributor to the nation’s development, and our logistics sector has been the bedrock of Sri Lanka’s economy. The pandemic revealed the importance of resilience in the logistics industry which gave Hayleys Advantis the opportunity to show what we are truly capable of, and our results speak very clearly,” said Hayleys PLC Chairman and Chief Executive, Mohan Pandithage.
“We have taken many steps to uplift Sri Lanka’s logistics industry, and the extension of this facility will allow us to consolidate our operations further at a single location enabling unprecedented optimisation of our service capacity, speed and value to customers,” said Hayleys Advantis Managing Director, Ruwan Waidyaratne.
