Brandix Apparel Limited, a leading apparel manufacturer in Sri Lanka, has committed its support for the Sri Lanka Olympic Team as a Presenting Partner for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Rajiv Malalasekera, Chief Executive Officer – Brandix Apparel Solutions Limited symbolically presented the sponsorship cheque to Suresh Subramaniam, President of the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka at a media event held recently to felicitate the participating athletes and announce the sponsors. As part of the support extended to the Sri Lanka Olympic team, Brandix created specialized t-shirts as an inspired solution in gearing them for the international sporting arena. The t-shirt fabric, an innovation by Teejay Lanka – a company within the Brandix Group of companies – includes a base polyester material made from recycled PET bottles collected along the coastline of Sri Lanka and is developed with the support of Eco Spindles. The fabric is further processed using ‘Smart Undyed Technology’, which enables zero use of synthetic dyes while also providing 85% water and 12% energy savings. The ultimate sustainable activewear solution incorporating both recycled raw material and energy and water optimization, the t-shirt is conducive for athletes, with advanced moisture management technology and antibacterial technology that enables moisture absorption and evaporation, causing zero impact from the material to the athletes’ skin.
