Hameedia goes to the Maldives

Hameedia recently opened its fully equipped and state-of-the-art showroom in the Maldive Islands.

The opening took place under the patronage of the Minister of Trade and Commerce Mohamed Rasheed.

The Maldivian Defence Minister Ameen Faisal, Foreign Affairs Minister Dr. Ahmed Shaheed, Finance and Treasury Minister Ali Hashim, several other Ministers of the Maldivian Government, the Attorney General and Members of Parliament were present.

With the new showroom in Male and another at the Chennai's Spenser Plaza, Hameedia thus becomes Sri Lanka's first ever clothing retailer to further expand its presence in the South Asian region. Minister Mohamed Rasheed said, "Hameedia is renowned to give men a complete solution and is very well known among the top end Maldivian community", he said.

Managing Director Hameedia Fouzul Hameed said he was happy that the company was able to position a Sri Lankan brand in the international market.

"Hameedia has groomed successful men in Sri Lanka for decades, and now, with years of experience, we're confident that we will conquer not only the Maldivian market but also the large number of international tourists who holiday in the Maldives."
