Sri Lanka Garment Buying Offices tie up with Companion

The garment industry has been the number one source of economic growth and employment provider for the country. The Sri Lanka garment sector is on par with leading textile manufacturing countries.

The Sri Lanka Garment Buying Offices Association was formed with the primary objective of promoting and fostering the growth of the garment industry in Sri Lanka. The members of the Sri Lanka Garment Buying Offices Association represent international and prestigious brand names and are responsible for the generation of approximately 70% of Sri Lanka's exports of textiles and apparel.

Resonance has been introduced as the official magazine for the Sri Lanka Garment Buying Offices Association. The magazine is a quarterly presentation of information for the vast garment sector. Resonance is distributed free to the ultimate decision makers of the industry.

Companion is a new English magazine in Sri Lanka, whose launch issue was in January 2006. It is classified as a comprehensive guide and is the only magazine to be published of its kind worldwide. The Sri Lanka Garment Buying Offices Association recently tied up with Companion Magazine (Pvt) Ltd. to conceptualise, design, publish and market resonance from the July issue onwards.

"I am pleased to give the assignment of publishing our official magazine to the up and coming young company, Companion, and am confident they will do a good job for us", said the Chairman of the Sri Lanka Garment Buying Offices Association, Rajeev Samarasinghe.

"We are happy that Companion has been recognised for the standard and quality it has been targeted to achieve" said Rishad Farook, Managing Director of Companion Magazine (Pvt) Ltd. "We are looking to create resonance with the same principles and standard that Companion has been directed at".
