BOI signs agreement with Brandix for design and product development centre

NEW PROJECT: The BOI signed an agreement with Brandix Lanka to set up a one stop shop Design and Product Development centre last week. This will be a state of the art facility valued at US$ 27 million which will provide employment for around 10,000 workers.

The new facility will be located at Kerawalapitiya, Wattala. Brandix in its bid to transform the apparel industry from a "manufacturer" to a "fully integrated service provider", will apply a revolutionary strategy to be a one stop front end service center.

Brandix is positioning Sri Lanka to become the hub of the front end apparel service in South Asia providing an effective counterbalance to regional competitors.

The agreement was signed by Dhammika Perera, Chairman/Director General of the BOI and Director Brandix Lanka Feroz Omar.
