The long felt ‘dream’ of the Sri Lanka Association of Printers is now a reality; the Association after successfully going ahead with purchase of a plot of land for it’s own Secretariat, has added the facet of training to it’s prime objective for the industry and incorporated a new entity the SRI LANKA PRINT MEDIA ACADEMY.

Launched with financial pledges in the form of Platinum, Gold, Silver and ordinary member subscription from member companies, the building plans are currently being prepared for construction in three phases based on priority.

Once fully commissioned the facility will house the permanent secretariat of the Sri Lanka Association of Printers along with the Sri Lanka Print Media Academy.

The Sri Lanka Print Media Academy (SLPMA) is specially designed to upgrade knowledge and competence via advanced professional programmes for print operatives already in the industry, as well as provide basic industry training for those entering the noble profession.

Among other facilities a library, an auditorium, computer laboratory and test facility are also planned, so that it will turn out to be a one-stop-shop for the printing industry in Sri Lanka.

The Sri Lanka Print Media Academy Directorate consisting of members of the Sri Lanka Association of Printers and reputed suppliers look to the industry for financial sponsorships in order to make this futuristic project a success.

The official launch of the building will be communicated via this site in due course
