ROKY Holdings completed the installation of an Ultra Filtration (UF) System at the Maliban Garment facility in Ginigathhena, Sri Lanka. This community-centered infrastructure project was done in an effort to enhance both operational efficiency and employee welfare. It was initiated to meet a growing need for reliable access to clean and safe water; A basic yet critical resource for the garment production process and the well-being of over 100 staff who work full-time, five to six days a week. This installation is a meaningful investment in the day-to-day health and dignity of the local workforce.
Ginigathhena, located in the Central Province, experiences frequent water quality fluctuation due to high rainfall. This could be due to leaching from nearby agricultural zones, and limited regional water infrastructure. Prior to the installation, the garment facility relied on untreated or inconsistently treated water sources. It raises concerns over health risks for workers and potential quality control issues during garment production. With employees working long shifts and water usage being central to garment processing and hygiene facilities, the absence of a reliable, clean water source posed both humanitarian and logistical challenges. The UF system offered a technically robust solution; removing harmful contaminants, reducing turbidity, and ensuring a steady, safe water supply.
The project culminated in the successful installation of an Ultra Filtration water treatment system at the Maliban Garment site, ensuring a consistent supply of clean water for both garment production and daily staff use. Implemented over a short yet efficient timeline, the system has already shown measurable improvements in water quality and workplace conditions. For ROKY Holdings, this project represents more than an infrastructure upgrade; it is a testament to the organization’s proactive approach to employee welfare, production quality, and environmental responsibility. It reflects a core belief that access to basic needs is not a luxury but a standard to uphold in every workplace.
