OUR GLOBAL PRESENCE
The textile and apparel industry operates in a highly competitive, fast-moving global market. Deciding where to manufacture, source, and sell can be the difference between scaling profitably and being left behind.
Teejay’s multi-location footing has turned obstacles into opportunities, ensuring resilience and efficiency across borders. Our ongoing strategic priority is the development and strengthening of Teejay multi-location footing, which has proven instrumental in overcoming global challenges.
Textured Jersey was founded in 2000 – a collaboration with Textured Jersey UK, built on a multi-location foundation. Today, as Teejay Lanka PLC, we are not just realising a vision, but fulfilling a 25-year legacy.
