Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and MAS Holdings, partners in the joint venture Hellmann MAS Supply Chain (HMSC) established in 2018, announced the development of a new built-to-suit contract logistics facility in Kimbulapitiya, Sri Lanka. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Strategically located in the Gampaha District of Sri Lanka\u2019s Western Province, just six kilometers from Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), the facility will serve as a dedicated fashion hub within Hellmann\u2019s South Asia network.<\/p>\n

The new hub represents a significant milestone in Hellmann\u2019s Forward2030 strategy, strengthening the company\u2019s fashion vertical as one of the key pillars of long-term growth within its global network. Sri Lanka\u2019s strategic position as a central gateway connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe reinforces its importance for international trade, enabling Hellmann to deliver customer-centric, high-performance logistics solutions tailored to evolving fashion supply chains.<\/p>\n

For MAS Holdings, this investment marks another step in its strategic growth journey, reinforcing its position as South Asia\u2019s largest apparel-tech company. The company has now set even more ambitious targets, signaling a decisive step forward in leading change within the apparel industry.<\/p>\n

Designed to handle the full spectrum of fashion logistics, the facility spans more than 8.000 square meters, features dual-zone humidity and climate control, and is equipped with solar panels. The scalable infrastructure will support efficient regional distribution needs across Asia, Africa, and Europe, ensuring the highest standards of operational performance and sustainability.<\/p>\n

The project builds on the long-standing partnership between Hellmann and MAS Holdings. Through Hellmann MAS Supply Chain, the two companies combine Hellmann\u2019s global logistics expertise with MAS Holdings\u2019 deep-rooted knowledge of apparel manufacturing and supply chain innovation, supporting leading international fashion brands with integrated, end-to-end logistics solutions across South Asia.<\/p>\n

\u201cSri Lanka combines world-class manufacturing and contract logistics capabilities with agile fashion supply chains, making it a trusted partner for global brands. With this new built-to-suit facility, we are strengthening the end-to-end fashion logistics capabilities of Hellmann MAS Supply Chain, our mutual joint venture with MAS Holdings\u201d, said Patrick Grzywa, Regional COO Contract Logistics IMEA, Hellmann Worldwide Logistics.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis investment reflects MAS\u2019 continued commitment to strengthening Sri Lanka\u2019s position as a globally competitive apparel hub,\u201d said Shakthi Ranatunge, Chief Operating Officer at MAS Holdings and Board Member of Hellmann MAS Supply Chain. “Through our partnership with Hellmann, we are moving beyond traditional garment manufacturing to enable more integrated, end-to-end supply chain solutions for global brands. This facility enhances our ability to offer speed and agility while supporting the development of a more resilient and future-ready apparel ecosystem in Sri Lanka.”<\/p>\n
