Dart Global Logistics Invests $10 Mn to Launch Free Zone Facility in Katunayake
Dart Global Logistics Group has invested $10 million to establish DGL Free Zone Ltd. at the Katunayake Investment Promotion Zone (KIPZ), with the facility recently commencing operations to further strengthen Sri Lanka’s logistics and supply chain infrastructure.
DGL Group Managing Director and Group CEO Jude Wijesundera said the facility had been developed as a modern, high-capacity logistics and value-addition centre, offering approximately 135,000 square feet of storage and value-addition space.
The facility features a 10-level racking system with a total capacity equivalent to approximately 450 40-foot containers of cargo. Its operations are structured across three chambers, allowing it to accommodate multiple commodity verticals, while more than 25 cargo docks facilitate efficient loading and unloading in line with market requirements.
In addition to ambient storage, DGL Free Zone is equipped to handle temperature- and humidity-controlled cargo, catering to the specialised requirements of different industries.
Dedicated value-addition centres located on mezzanine floors support a wide range of services, from labelling and pick-and-pack activities to more complex value-addition operations. Three mezzanine floors have been allocated for value-addition activities and temperature-controlled cargo storage.
The facility also incorporates an international Tier 1 warehouse management system and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) scanning technology, providing enhanced inventory control and real-time visibility of cargo movements.
The investment comes at a time when regional supply chains are undergoing significant transformation, while demand for flexible and specialised logistics solutions continues to grow, particularly in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and temperature-controlled cargo.
Wijesundera said the company had reinvested its profits into the project, while the new facility had attracted both existing and new customers, creating further opportunities to generate foreign exchange for the country.
