E.R.P. Goonetilleke, Managing Director and CEO, says: “Hayleys Fabric PLC manufactures innovative high value fabric to quality conscious global fashion brands. A pioneer in the field, we were also the first to develop our own branded range of fabric “Inno”, as we forecast fashion trends to develop fashion forward fabric that capture our clients’ interest. A passion for innovation drives our growth and performance which turned around as we achieved a paradigm shift in our business model to sell fabric that are conceptualized and manufactured by us”.

Sri Lanka’s plans to accelerate its apparel sector to a $8 billion by 2022 by transforming the industry to an ‘End-to-End Fully Integrated Apparel Solutions Provider’ and positioning itself as a preferred ethical sourcing destination is expected to intensify market penetration with players moving into the premium market segments.

Hayleys Fabric PLC has commenced its journey of moving into premium market segments and is working closely with brand owners to understand their specific needs to continuously refine our customer centric business model. Hayleys is now firmly ahead in technology, innovations, complexity, diversity, speed, quality, price and service levels, which are the key ingredients sought after by top brands in the world.

Some of the leading global clothing brands like Nike, Victoria’s Secret and Decathlon are strategically moving towards Sri Lanka for synthetic apparel production, as Sri Lanka has come up with a wide range of synthetic raw material options over the last couple of years. In addition, Sri Lanka is seen as a hub for Innovations, Social Compliances and Sustainability.
