01About

Three decades ago he started with a handful of sewing machines and a promise to deliver on time. Today Dewmini Apparel makes garments for some of the world's best-known high-street brands, from a factory that still runs on that same promise.

Mr. P.A.N. Wijendra founded Dewmini Apparel in 1993. He built it into an export-focused manufacturer with its own factory in Rakwana, in the Ratnapura District, and a head office in Horana.

His approach has always been practical: disciplined production, honest communication with buyers, and quality checked at every step, from fabric intake through cutting, sewing, embroidery, finishing and packing.
