Sri Lanka manufactures quality apparel for the well known global brands like Adidas, Reebok, Marks & Spencer, Speedo etc which have invested billions of dollars in building their brands at a global level.
He said the brand value of these well known names exceeded the value of the assets of the companies they represent. He gave an example of the brand, Coca Cola, which has been valued at US $66 billion.
