Elaborating on some of the Group's recent investments in Sri Lanka, he said the Brandix Centre of Inspiration (BCI) the Group Casualwear Cluster's one-stop point for design to delivery, has already contributed in terms of productivity and effectiveness. BCI is a 250,000 square foot state-of-the art, uniquely designed facility housing a top notch product development and design centre, central warehousing and cutting facility, marketing and merchandising operations.

Another recent investment, Sintesi Limited, will provide research, design, and manufacture of moulded products. This new venture will add value to the manufacture of intimate apparel and will commence operations at a 10 acre facility in April 2007. Focused on innovation, the operation is equipped with state-of-the-art hot-melt, foam moulding, bonding machines and other equipment.

In September 2006 Brandix formed a three-way joint venture with Quantum Clothing Group, UK and Lanka Equities (Pvt) Limited to establish Stevensons Lanka (Pvt) Limited, an exclusive garment dyeing operation at the Biyagama Export Processing Zone.

Brandix has also ventured into innovative related vertical operations such as the Brandix Apparel City in India, a 1000-acre apparel manufacturing park which is expected to generate investments of US $ 1 Billion in its first five years. This mega undertaking has also paved the way for Brandix to create opportunities for organizations aspiring to provide related services at a global level.

“We are firmly rooted in Sri Lanka and are committed to investing in the future of the country's apparel industry, whilst leveraging on our expertise and experience to position Sri Lanka as a regional apparel hub.” Mr. Omar said.
