Another milestone for Elephant House Bottled Water

Ceylon Cold Stores (CCS), iconic household consumer brand Elephant House, that is associated with trust and reliability through many generations, has taken yet another step in the right direction, in an effort to expand its ongoing operations.

CCS has acquired the water manufacturing plant located in Kotagala from its subcontracted partner Worldwide Enterprises (Pvt.) Ltd, which was engaged in the production of premium quality Elephant House Bottled Water.

Elephant House beverages, which is 100 percent trusted islandwide, launched Elephant House Water in June 2018, sourcing water from the purest streams and fountains. Elephant House water bottles are manufactured under the SLS certification, ensuring that the water is filtered and packed in compliance to the exact specifications, maintaining the highest quality and hygiene standards.

Fulfilling the company’s objective of offering hydration in its most pure form, the new facility will be operated exclusively as the ‘Water bottling plant of CCS’, allowing greater expansion possibilities for the company.

The official inauguration of the factory under the ownership of CCS took place recently and was ceremoniously opened by Consumer Foods President Daminda Gamlath in the presence of the CCS management team.

“We are delighted that will be able to enhance our production and delivery with this new acquisition. At CCS, we have always been concerned with our consumers’ safety and have strived to provide pure water, sourcing them from the purest streams located in the hill country. With this acquisition, we will unlock the possibility to offer our consumers a variety of new innovations. We hope to improve our processes through innovation and technological advancements to ensure that we meet the highest quality standards,” stated Gamlath, commenting on the acquisition.

The acquired plant is situated within the Kotagala Industrial Estate as a venture listed under the Industrial Development Board.
