Textured Jersey Lanka (TJL), a joint venture involving Pacific
Textiles and the apparel export group Brandix, has launched an in-region
fleece programme in Sri Lanka under which the company will produce
fleece exclusively for Victoria's Secret PINK.
The company's state-of-the-art 650,000 square-foot facility at
Avissawella has acquired specialised machinery for the production of
fleece fabric that will be used exclusively in the manufacture of
hoodies and pants for the PINK brand at the Brandix Intimate Apparel
plants, enabling the reduction of lead times considerably.
The new initiative was launched President of PINK - Victoria's Secret

Limited Brands and Mast Industries on recent visits to Sri Lanka and
India.

it marks a significant strengthening of its capabilities and scope as
well as its commitment to Victoria's Secret PINK," said Managing
Director of TJL Rohan Goonetilleke.

solutions and continuing dedication to vertical integration," he said.
