MAS Holdings has announced the relocation of its Thurulie facility, signalling a strategic move to optimise operational efficiency and strengthen its sustainability framework within the global apparel value chain.

The transition aligns with MAS Holdings’ long-term manufacturing strategy, focusing on advanced production ecosystems, resource optimisation and lower environmental impact. Sri Lanka’s apparel exports stood at nearly US$ 5.2 billion in 2024, contributing around 40% of the country’s industrial exports, making such infrastructure upgrades critical for competitiveness.

The relocated facility is expected to integrate modern manufacturing technologies, improved energy management systems and lean production practices. Industry estimates indicate that energy efficient factories can reduce operational costs by up to 20% while enhancing output consistency.

The development also reflects a broader shift among South Asian manufacturers towards agile supply chains and value-added production. MAS continues to position itself as a key player in premium apparel segments, supplying global brands through innovation driven manufacturing.
