UMATA
Polythene Bags & Flexible Packaging Manufacturer in Sri Lanka
Founded in 2012, Umata has grown from a sole entrepreneurial venture into a trusted Sri Lankan manufacturer of high-quality polythene products. Incorporated as a Private Limited company in 2015, we have continued to expand our capabilities and strengthen our presence across the food, healthcare, retail, and industrial sectors.

Built on quality, reliability, and putting customers first.
Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Colombo, UMATA has grown into a trusted name in Sri Lanka’s flexible packaging industry.
We started with a clear purpose: to become the most trusted name in polythene packaging solutions for businesses across the island. What began as a focused manufacturing operation has grown, over more than a decade, into a company known for reliability, consistency, and genuine partnership with the customers we serve.
We understand that packaging is rarely just packaging. For a bakery, it’s the last thing a customer touches before enjoying their product. For a hospital, it’s a matter of hygiene and safety. For a courier service, it’s the difference between a package arriving intact or damaged. That’s why every roll, bag, and pouch we produce is manufactured with an unwavering focus on quality and fit-for-purpose performance.
