Wilkins Spence Packaging Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, a member of the Wilkins Group UK developed under the guidance of Chairman Andre Wilkins and family, was recently awarded the ISO 9001:2008 certification for its quality management systems that demonstrate its commitment to providing high quality products and services to its customers.

Having begun with one person in a joint venture with Aitken Spence Printing, Wilkins Spence has expanded to 100 employees along with advanced technology and know-how in the printing and packaging industry during the past decade since its inception and today stands a strong, virtually independent entity.

The company provides packaging solutions for retailers. In addition to the production of packaging, boxes, labels among other products for reputed global clients such as Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Mothercare etc in UK, as well as local clients such as MAS, Brandix and Hirdaramani, Wilkins Spence is also capable of carrying out packaging reengineering with supremacy in creativity and design to make packaging better value for money.

Taking up the initial challenge of setting up a factory in Mattakkuliya, one of the most underdeveloped areas of the Colombo city, the company has today not only grown from strength to strength within a short span of time but has also marked its presence in the locality by setting an example and contributing immensely to the community with the creation of employment opportunities for the talented underprivileged youth with potential for growth.

Director Overseas Business Development Head Yasantha Suriyapperuma said, “Our biggest strength is our youthful, well-experienced and professional staff who push boundaries to serve our customers with style.”
