Mr Blake went on to say, “Sri Lanka's apparel sector leads the world in its high ethical production standards. Their, Garments without Guilt campaign captures the principles of fair wages, good working conditions, and sound environmental practices that show tha that Brandix and others are truly committed to. Those strong ethical standards distinguish Sri Lanka from many other garment producing countries and this will become ever more important as a selling point for products in this highly competitive industry.”
The guest of honour also seemed impressed to read recently about the construction bricks that Brandix developed using waste materials from its garment washing, dyeing and finishing processes. These so-called 'sludge' bricks are the kind of innovation which proves that environmentally sound production is not just the right thing to do, it is also good business, because it can save money both in production and in lower clean-up costs.
Concluding his speech, Mr Blake asserted that the United States and Sri Lanka are definitely in this business together, and the opening of this facility demonstrates that the future remains bright for Brandix, for Textured Jersey Lanka, and also for the two great countries.
