Brandix Textiles becomes first Cotton USA licensee in Sri Lanka

摘要

Cotton USA has signed Brandix Textiles Limited as its first licensee in Sri Lanka, a country that is a developing market for US cotton exports. Brandix Textiles is one of Sri Lanka's largest textile manufacturers and supplies high quality woven finished fabrics to leading global apparel brands. "Brandix is a top quality fabric and apparel manufacturer with established sourcing partners in the Cotton USA supply chain, so the company is a natural fit for our licensing programme," Bruce Atherley, the Cotton Council International (CCI) executive director, said. "Launching a Cotton USA licensee in Sri Lanka will establish a greater presence for US cotton in South Asia and strengthen the US cotton supply chain." Brandix Textiles' Cotton USA license covers 400,000 square metres of 100% US cotton woven fabrics. Brandix currently sources the majority of its greige fabrics from Cotton USA-licensed mills in Pakistan.
