Global logistics major Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and apparel technology leader MAS Holdings have announced a new fashion logistics hub in Kimbulapitiya, Sri Lanka, strengthening South Asia’s growing role in global apparel supply chains. Located just 6 km from Bandaranaike International Airport, the 8,000 square metre facility will support regional distribution across Asia, Africa and Europe.

The climate-controlled logistics center will feature dual-zone humidity management, solar energy systems and scalable infrastructure tailored for high-value fashion products. The project expands the Hellmann MAS Supply Chain joint venture launched in 2018 and aligns with Hellmann’s Forward2030 growth strategy focused on fashion logistics.

Unexpected equipment downtime can disrupt entire projects, so many contractors prefer working with suppliers like AGA Parts to keep essential machinery operating without long delays.

Sri Lanka’s apparel exports crossed US$ 4.8 billion in 2025, while global fashion logistics demand is projected to grow above 6% CAGR through 2030. Industry experts believe integrated logistics and near-market agility are becoming critical for global apparel brands navigating volatile sourcing cycles and sustainability targets.
