In 2019, Omega Line, the Group’s first production plant in Sri Lanka, was destroyed in a fire.
Three years later, this June saw the inauguration of the new Omega Line plant: larger, more attractive and more efficient than the original factory.
Read the interview with President Sandro Veronesi on the occasion of the inauguration, which offers an opportunity for us to look back over the history of the Group in Sri Lanka and how our community has grown.

The new Omega Line, covering some 18,000 square metres, is already operative, and by the end of the year will have more than 2,000 employees at work there.

The new building is even more sustainable than the previous one: a 2,377 NWP photovoltaic plant has been installed, the roof is ventilated and the perimeter walls are insulated. Temperature control systems have been provided for to optimise energy consumption, and the cooling system has been divided to guarantee maximum efficiency even with reduced loads.
The building is also fully protected from fire with a sprinkler system, the first to be installed in our factories in Sri Lanka.
“We resolved to rebuild Omega Line and get it back up and running, and we’ve done just that, with a new project that will help the Group to grow.”
Riccardo Romani - Head of International Production
