Plantations & Agriculture
Strength From the Land
With over 17,500 acres of plantation land since 2003, Lalan is one of the rare manufacturers that controls its raw material. Lalan's latex grows on its own soil, to its own standards.
Crops Grown
While the rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is Lalan's core crop, several tropical crops are cultivated as part of its diversification strategy.
Rubber
The core crop. Integrated rubber plantations that ensure traceability of natural latex throughout the entire production process.
Tea
A significant part of Sri Lanka's world-renowned Ceylon tea production.
Coconut
Coconut plantations grown in the tropical climate are part of the diversified agricultural portfolio.
Cinnamon
Sri Lanka cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), a high-quality product for the gourmet and pharmaceutical industries.
Forestry
FSC-certified sustainable forestry practices; protecting biodiversity is a core principle.

Lalan's Quality Policy
At Lalan, quality is the responsibility of the entire organisation, not a single department.
Raw-Material Traceability
Latex obtained from Lalan's own plantations can be tracked at every stage from source to finished product. This integrated structure makes it possible to keep raw-material quality under direct control and to comply with international standards.
