WE
ARE
CHANGEMAKERS
MAS Holdings is a global apparel tech conglomerate providing concept-to-delivery solutions for the world’s leading apparel brands.
We anticipate the trends of tomorrow to innovate solutions that push the boundaries of human potential. Our unique partnerships have led to groundbreaking progress while our commitment to the planet makes MAS Holdings the benchmark for sustainable and ethical manufacturing.
Our story
We were born to an island known for the mass production of apparel led by three brothers who viewed every challenge that came their way as an opportunity. Their pursuit would not end at creating high-quality lingerie. They envisioned and then accomplished the production of revolutionary sportswear, swimwear, and athleisure, building remarkable partnerships along the way. Today this legacy has made MAS a 2 billion dollar product co-creation partner sought-after by the world’s largest and most iconic apparel brands.
This journey was always bound by a stringent Code of Conduct that has made MAS Holdings the company it is today. As we continue to expand across borders, our innovations and processes continue to disrupt convention and challenge the status quo.
Today we are the employer and partner of choice for the best talent and brands in the industry.
DRIVEN WITH PURPOSE
A people-oriented culture is the hallmark of MAS Holdings. From inception, we had a clear mandate to prioritise the welfare of our employees and even today, we aspire to change lives for good. We put people before profit, providing working conditions that are conducive to a healthy and enriched lifestyle. We listen to our local communities, adapt to their needs and innovate to ease the challenges they face. Exemplary labour practices and their stringent enforcement make MAS the home of ethical manufacturing.
Moving beyond our WRAP Platinum certifications, we now have our own qualified team of independent compliance officers assuring that our standards are above par. The MAS story of guilt-free garments goes beyond awards and certifications. The benchmarks we set speak for themselves and our trusted partnerships are testament to this.

IN
PURSUIT
OF
PERFECTION
We believe in creating an apparel eco-system that benefits our communities and our planet. This pushes us to identify shortfalls in our value chain and enhance our processes to bridge those gaps. We started this quest by establishing a raw material production base in Sri Lanka, fueling the growth of technical knowledge on the island.
Today, MAS Holdings' verticality includes the manufacture of lace, bra cups, elastics, synthetic fabric, printing, dyeing and finishing, accessories, logistics and warehousing for finished products, building the ideal apparel ecosystem.
WE
HAVE
A
PLAN
FOR
CHANGE
Our world faces many challenges which lie within human control. As a global conglomerate that nurtures over 100,000 individuals, we have a responsibility to work towards climate resilience, to enrich lives and to drive innovation that fuels positive change. The Plan for Change is MAS' commitment to our planet and future generations.
The lean enterprise practice, a Japanese philosophy popularised by Toyota, inspired us at MAS Holdings to explore lean manufacturing. In an industry where mass production was the norm, this was a novel experiment that has resulted in enhancing our agility and ability to adapt. Today, our manufacturing capabilities are faster with less inventory in stock and less work-in-progress production. We create less waste and ultimately, a higher quality end product.
