Waltrim estate nestles in the Lindula Valley of Talawakelle Region in the Nuwara Eliya District at an elevation of 1207-1448 meters above the sea level.Acclaimed as the Flag bearer of Lindula region of Watawala Plantations.Waltrim was recognized for high quality of tea processing.This estate was the beneficiary of a "state of the art"factory that was newly constructed and commisioned onthe 18th of March 2011 after a disaster struck on 28th April 2008 when the old tea factory went abalze spontaneously in an inferno that literally struck from nowhere.Within an hour the building was reduced to ashes completely gutted by a fire.Watawala plantations rather than lamenting over this catastropic situation through its sheer determination built a new ultra-modern state of the art and ecofriendly tea processing centre at a site just 100 meters from where the old factory was located.It was the goal of the company to revive the glory and fame of the Waltrim Mark by making it the best manufacturing facility in Sri Lanka with the potential to being the best in Asia if such a determination was to be made.
Having a land extent of 578 hectares with a tea cultivated area of 408.08 hectares,Waltrim carries a total population of 4765 people of which the workforce accounts for 1013 associates.The staff cadre consists of 43 members and five executives -all under the guidance of a senior manager.This includes the new recruit for the implementation of Rainforest Alliance and Quality Assurance and other related standards.They all shoulder a great deal of responsibility in maintaining required levels of standard needed by the company and its stake holders.
