Brandix begins construction of its second Centre of Inspiration

Sri Lanka's globally significant apparel group Brandix launched its bid to be a globally dominant player in chosen new categories with the commencement of construction of a Rs 280 million central services facility for the Group's Activewear companies in Sri Lanka and India.

Located at Ratmalana, the 61,000 square foot purpose-designed Brandix Centre of Inspiration - Active, will be the nucleus for the manufacturing operations of Brandix Activewear at Ratmalana and Koggala in Sri Lanka, and those of Brandix Apparel India at Vizag. This centre will support a projected turnover in excess of US$ 200 million, the company said.

Speaking at the ground breaking ceremony for this futuristic centre, Brandix CEO Ashroff Omar said the Group's experience in setting up a similar centralised facility for Brandix Casualwear had paid rich dividends. He said the establishment of a Centre of Inspiration for Brandix Activewear would enable the Group to move to new frontiers and focus on categories where it could be a dominant player on a global scale.
