Speaking at the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with Brandix, the 23 year old Malinga said: “Brandix is one of the most respected groups of companies in Sri Lanka and South Asia. I have been particularly impressed by their deep concern for community and environmental issues. They have a reputation for being a leading ethical employer and I am thrilled to be joining them as a Brand Ambassador.”
Lasith Malinga is the second top sportsman supported by the Brandix Group. Chinthana Vidanage, the Sri Lankan weight lifting Gold medallist at the last Commonwealth Games and a potential medallist at the Beijing Olympics is also employed at Brandix.
Born on August 28, 1983 in Galle and educated at Mahinda College, Lasith Malinga exploded on to the cricketing stage in July 2004. Now the fastest bowler in the Sri Lankan team, Malinga has captured 83 wickets in 24 tests and 57 wickets in 38 one-day internationals.
During the 2007 Cricket World Cup, he stunned the cricketing world by capturing a world record four wickets in four balls against South Africa, staking a claim to be one of the game's rising stars.
Brandix pioneered the concept of total solutions in the Sri Lankan apparel industry and is Sri Lanka's largest apparel exporter with a consolidated annual turnover of over US$ 320 million. The Group's CSR initiatives are primarily focussed on water, which it uses in large volumes in its manufacturing processes.
Brandix has invested Rs 25 million in a training facility and laboratory for water conservation and management in Anuradhapura. Other initiatives include providing water through desalination plants, wells and pipe-borne water to communities in and around the Group's manufacturing plants. The scope of the Group's projects has also been extended to encompass sanitation.
