“We are ambitious to take PSPI to greater heights to be one of the most preferred grains and pulses splitter and processor in Asia”, he added.

The company’s Sapugaskanda-based factory is equipped with cutting-edge technology such as advanced CCD digital cameras, fully automatic color sorter machines, ‘Starlinger Technology’ packaging machinery amongst others in line with international standards.

PSPI also recently expanded to supply consumer packaging, adding three new FFS machines to supply customers with private-label packaging ranging between 500g to 5kg. Specializing in splitting and processing operations in whole red lentils, PSPI has its own brands of red split lentils. Its brands ‘Trophy’ as well as ‘Leaf’ continue to be one of the most preferred choices in the domestic market.

PSPI imports raw materials from Australia, Canada and Myanmar. Its factory has eleven in-built silos, and all its raw materials and finished products are stored and preserved under stringent hygienic conditions.

Since its inception in 2007, PSPI has earned a distinctive reputation for its world-class splitting and processing operations, with the widest range of grains and pulses variety in Sri Lanka.
