comments: Sri Lanka Gateway Industries (Private) Limited – (SLGI) was established in June 2010 to develop an Industrial Zone with necessary physical and social infrastructure, in a land extent of 36 sq.kms (9000 Acres), in Sampur in the Trincomalee District in the Eastern Province of Sri Lanka. This location was chosen after very careful scrutiny because the industries targeted for the proposed Industrial Zone require direct access to a dedicated and a deep water jetty to cater to Cape–Size vessels. The project location also has a vast stretch of un-inhabited land and is considered most suitable for this purpose.
