This is an investment of Rs. 120 million and will provide employment
for 87 workers. The project is a 100% Sri Lankan investment.
Turbines produced at the VS Turbo factory are very high value added
products. The turbines are built with German technology and are aimed at
both the local and foreign markets.
The technology used in the manufacture is from Germany and is
state-of-the-art. There are two main components of the turbine.
The main component is the "Runner" which is made in Germany and the
other component is called "Spiral and casting" which is entirely made in
Sri Lanka.
Two turbines have already been exported to Uganda while another five
are currently being manufactured.
"This project is important to the BOI as it is in line with one of
the major strategic objective of the BOI, which is to create conditions
for technology transfer through investment," Chairman/Director General
of the BOI Dhammika Perera, who opened the new plant in Avissawella
said.
