The company, which has produced millions of products for over 400 corporate clients worldwide, marked its 15th anniversary unveiling a bold new logo and making new connections globally. 

“Our presence at International Apparel & Textile Fair 2024 in Dubai has opened new doors for us,” said Charith Kollure.

We continue to prioritise solutions that meet the demands of modern businesses, while staying committed to sustainable practices.
