Ritz Clothing proudly celebrates a decade of exceptional growth, innovation, and excellence. Established in 2012 with a modest team of 60 machine operators, the company has evolved into a leading force in Sri Lanka’s garment industry.
Over the past twelve years, Ritz Clothing has significantly expanded its operations, now encompassing six state-of-the-art factories and a cutting-edge design centre. Employing a dedicated workforce of 4,700 professionals, the company produces 3.5 million garments monthly and has forged partnerships with top global brands, reinforcing its position as a key player in the international apparel market.
Recent expansions at its flagship plant in Nikaweratiya and its largest facility in Yapahuwa underscore the company’s sustainable growth trajectory. Looking forward, Ritz Clothing aims to enhance its vertical integration by adding printing and embroidery facilities, as well as a corrugated carton factory. These strategic developments will build upon the company’s legacy of innovation, quality, and growth as it continues to set new benchmarks in the industry for decades to come.

Ritz Clothing is honoured to receive the Gold Award for Best Vendor 2023/24 at the Next Sourcing Supplier Awards. This prestigious accolade is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and innovation through our extensive partnerships with global brands, which have significantly contributed to our business growth.
The award recognises outstanding performance across six key areas: Quality of Sampling, Production Quality Standards, Factory Environment, Adherence to Next Sourcing’s Code of Conduct, Service Levels and Business Support, and Critical Path Management.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Next Sourcing, our principal buying house, whose pivotal role has been crucial to our success. We are particularly grateful to Mr. Wilhelm Elias, Director of Next Sourcing for Sri Lanka, South India, and Pakistan, as well as Mr. Thikula Samaradiavakara, Mr. Alexander Demetrius, and their entire team, for their steadfast support and dedication.
In recent years, Ritz Clothing has successfully transitioned from a Cut-and-Make (CM) operation to a Direct (FOB) business, beginning in 2020. This significant transformation, achieved despite numerous industry challenges, would not have been possible without the unwavering support and trust of our partners. As we continue to work closely with our partners, we remain committed to becoming the premier supplier for esteemed global brands, further strengthening existing relationships and establishing new ones.
