Markspen Group reaffirmed its commitment to advancing Sri Lanka’s food, agriculture and packaging industries by sponsoring and participating in the 23rd ProFood ProPack & Ag-Biz 2026 exhibition, held from 21 to 23 August at the BMICH, Colombo.

As a group built around practical solutions that help businesses improve productivity, efficiency and value creation, Markspen Group’s presence at the exhibition brought together the capabilities of three of its agro-focused subsidiaries: Markspen Labels, Markspen Holdings and Kanadara. Together, they represented the Group’s broader approach to connecting technology, agriculture, production and local enterprise.

ProFood ProPack & Ag-Biz provided an important platform for Markspen Group to demonstrate how technology could address real challenges across the agricultural and food production value chain. The Group showcased solutions spanning barcode and labelling, rice milling, grain processing, preservation, packaging and traditional Sri Lankan agricultural products.

At Markspen Labels, visitors explored the Group’s expertise as a leading paper rolls and barcode solutions provider in Sri Lanka, including barcode and labelling systems, label printers, thermal paper rolls, barcode sticker rolls, DT, TT, Semi-Gloss and BOPP labels, ribbons and other printing consumables. The company also showcased professional labelling solutions designed around the operational needs of modern businesses, alongside software, barcode printers, POS terminals, barcode scanners and POS printers.

Meanwhile, Markspen Holdings placed smart agriculture and modern agricultural technology firmly in the spotlight. Its solutions extended beyond rice milling to include colour sorters, dryers and graders required for premium rice production, alongside packing and grinding machinery, oil extraction solutions and high-technology grain preservation systems. The company also showcased the DOMA CTP 20 DE, a double-elevator rice milling machine, alongside other agricultural machinery.

Completing the Markspen Group presence was Kanadara, which highlighted the value of Sri Lankan agriculture through traditional rice products and quality local agricultural products.

“ProFood ProPack & Ag-Biz was more than an exhibition for us. It was an opportunity to demonstrate how technology, local enterprise and agriculture could work together to build more efficient and future-ready businesses,” said Amil Galanga for Markspen Group. “Our sponsorship reflected our belief in the industries that form the foundation of Sri Lanka’s food and agricultural economy, and our commitment to supporting their continued growth.”
