Established in 2003, the Fabric & Apparel Accessory Manufacturers Association (FAAMA) is Sri Lanka’s governing body of fabric and apparel accessory manufacturers, operating under the Joint Apparel Association Forum Sri Lanka (JAAFSL).

With over 30 member companies, FAAMA serves as the unified voice of the industry, fostering innovation, promoting investment, and advocating for responsible practices. Its vision is to cultivate an industry that meets global standards and earns international recognition.

As much as it is our responsibility to protect our planet, it is also our responsibility to protect our people. FAAMA and its member entities strive to give back to the country that they call home.

One of FAAMA’s upcoming CSR initiatives is the institution of the Coastal Clean Up Crew – a group of FAAMA members who came together to put together an islandwide beach clean up, investing Rs. 1.5m in protecting and preserving our coastlines from the ravages of pollution.

Sri Lanka’s marine environments and coastlines have seen great distress over the last two years, most majorly with the sinking of the MV Express Pearl off its western coast in May 2021, contributing heavily to an already widespread plastic pollution problem in Sri Lankan waters. Through the Coastal Clean Up Crew, FAAMA hopes to play at least a small part in helping restoring Sri Lanka’s coastlines to their former glory.

The fabric & accessories partners to the apparel industry of Sri Lanka, hope to unite on a single platform and collectively offer innovative and holistic solutions to the industry. In the current context, an online platform is the most effective & best suited medium for such a proposition. Connecting all sectors of the industry, ranging from fabric and threads to elastics and zippers, to machines and needles to print and packaging, this unique platform will prove to be highly valuable while propelling the Apparel industry to greater heights.
