Litro Gas, Sri Lanka’s national LPG provider, commissioned its state-of-the-art refurbished and upgraded storage and bottling facility in Mabima, Sapugaskande. 


The Mabima filling plant has been completely refurbished after 40 years to meet international operation and safety standards, enhancing efficiency. The refurbishment and upgrading of the Mabima facility, which cost a little over Rs.1 billion, will ensure bottling and distribution efficiency for another 10 to 15 years for the country, Litro Gas said in a statement.


Mabima is expected to play a vital role alongside the Kerawalapitiya plant, reducing dependency on the Kerawalapitiya filling plant, which was commissioned in 2014.


Litro Gas Chairman/CEO Muditha Pieris asserted that while it is important to deliver an LPG cylinder that was extremely safe, it is also important to safeguard the supply and distribution of LPG to the customers without 
any interruption.
