Sunquick Lanka opens Ready-To-Drink manufacturing facility in Horana

Sunquick Lanka Ltd. last week opened its Sunquick RTD manufacturing facility in Horana reassuring its strong presence in the Sri Lankan market.

Gracing the special occasion were CO-RO A/S Denmark President Søren Holm Jensen and Sunquick Lanka Chairman Hemaka Amarasuriya.

CO-RO A/S President Søren Holm Jensen stated: “Sunquick Lanka enters a new phase of growth with the launch of this RTD manufacturing facility. With uncompromised taste and quality, Sunquick has been a lifestyle brand bringing families and friends together, for decades. This is a special occasion that takes us a step further to delivering this promise of giving the best to our consumers.”

The RTD tetra pack was introduced to the local market with the purpose of offering consumers a more convenient form of packaging that allows them to enjoy the deliciousness of Sunquick anywhere at any time. The Sunquick BiBi comes in two sizes of 200 ml and 125 ml, in four fruit filled flavours: orange, mixed fruit, berry mixed, and pink guava and strawberry.

The RTD manufacturing facility in Horana is housed with state-of-the-art machinery that conforms to the strict Scandinavian standards demanded by the product, where quality assurance personnel from the Global QA team ensure that international quality standards are never compromised.

Sunquick Lanka Chairman Hemaka Amarasuriya said: “The launch of the new Sunquick RTD manufacturing facility is indeed a milestone achievement that resulted from the hard work and passion of our team. Utilising the latest technology and complying to strict global safety and quality standards, the new factory will enhance the capacity and speedy delivery to markets. Sunquick has become an export hub which generates much needed foreign currency to the country as we expand our parameters.”

Sunquick Lanka plays an active role in contributing to the national economy by enhancing its manufacturing strength and exporting to other countries. Sunquick is the category leader in the fruit squash segment in Sri Lanka enjoying 70% of the market share and exporting its products to most of the Asia Pacific regional countries including Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Maldives, Taiwan and Bangladesh to name a few.
