30+ Years of Representing the Sri Lanka Garment Industry

The Sri Lanka Apparel Sourcing Association was formed in 1993 with the primary objective of promoting and fostering the growth of the Garment Industry in Sri Lanka. The members of the Sri Lanka Apparel Sourcing Association represent international prestigious brand names and are responsible for the generation of close to 60-70% of Sri Lanka’s exports of Apparels. Our membership represents all major global importers and retailers from the UK, USA, EU, Australia, etc.

We have a total of 24 members who are based in various parts of the globe. The association consists of members who are either direct representatives of international brands or representatives of importers or buyers based overseas.

We are one joint voice who take up matters that pertain to the industry and address them when needed. We are affiliated with the Joint Apparel Association Forum which consists of other associations related to the apparel Industry in Sri Lanka.
