    Kaern marks its second consecutive year at Pro Food Pro Pack as GAEA International achieves ISO 22000, HACCP and GMP certification for its Sri Lankan facility.

    GAEA International (Private) Limited, the company behind the Kaern dairy brand in Sri Lanka, has achieved ISO 22000, HACCP and GMP certification from SGS for its Sri Lankan facility, marking an important milestone in the continued strengthening of its local operations and food safety management systems.

    The achievement coincides with Kaern’s participation in Pro Food Pro Pack 2026 at BMICH for the second consecutive year. The exhibition provides the company with an opportunity to engage with food manufacturers, industry professionals and business partners from across Sri Lanka while showcasing its expanding range of dairy solutions.

    At this year’s exhibition, GAEA International is presenting Kaern’s growing dairy portfolio, which includes Kaern Full Cream Milk Powder, UHT Full Cream Milk, Whole Milk Powder and Skim Milk Powder. The range is designed to serve food manufacturers, food service businesses and other professional customers seeking dependable dairy solutions for a variety of applications.

    GAEA International operates in partnership with its Chinese joint venture partner, bringing together international dairy industry expertise and supply capabilities with local market knowledge and customer support in Sri Lanka. The partnership continues to play an important role in supporting the growth of the Kaern brand and strengthening its presence in the local market.

    The ISO 22000, HACCP and GMP certifications awarded by SGS further reinforce GAEA International’s commitment to maintaining robust food safety and quality management practices at its Sri Lankan facility. The certifications complement the internationally recognised quality and food safety standards maintained throughout Kaern’s wider supply chain.

    For food manufacturers and professional customers, Kaern aims to provide more than dairy ingredients. The company works closely with customers to understand their production requirements and provide reliable dairy solutions, with a continued focus on quality, consistency, dependable supply and long-term business relationships.

    Through its strengthened local operations, international partnership and expanding dairy portfolio, GAEA International remains focused on supporting Sri Lanka’s food manufacturing sector while building Kaern as a trusted dairy solution brand in the market.
