Having started its operations in 1984, today, Nestlé Lanka’s Kurunegala factory manufactures over 90% of Nestlé products sold in the country, employing strict quality controls. Standing by the country and its people for over 115 years, the ‘Good food, Good life’ company has become an integral part of Sri Lankan lives and contributes to the livelihoods of more than 25,000 Sri Lankan dairy and coconut farmers and out-growers and provides direct employment to over 800. Over the last five years, the company has consistently invested in the country, amounting to over Rs. 6.6 billion.
An event was held on 23 November 2022 to commemorate the inauguration of this project, by laying the foundation stone of the building which will house the new Vacuum Band Dryer.
