The introduction of the FOSS FT3 machine marks a major milestone for Pelwatte, as it becomes the first company in Sri Lanka to utilize this cutting-edge technology.

This certification affirms the company’s adherence to the highest international standards in food safety, quality, and consistency. It highlights Pelwatte’s continued focus on maintaining rigorous product safety protocols and elevates the brand’s reputation in the global dairy market.
Pelwatte’s integration of innovative technology and commitment to industry-leading food safety practices are setting new benchmarks for dairy production in Sri Lanka.
These advancements serve as a model for local producers, encouraging them to adopt similar innovations to improve their operations. Pelwatte’s leadership is also contributing to the growth of the local economy by expanding production capacity and creating new job opportunities.
The company’s journey toward these achievements began with the establishment of its Quality Assurance (QA) Department, which has consistently implemented global best practices in quality control. Over the years, Pelwatte has invested heavily in advanced technology and partnered with international leaders in the field.
Akmal Wickramanayake, Managing Director of Pelwatte Dairy, commented on the company’s latest advancements: “Introducing the FOSS FT3 machine ensures that every batch of our dairy products undergoes rigorous testing, guaranteeing the highest quality.
This also helps us reduce inconsistencies and speed up product approval, delivering fresher and safer products to consumers.”
