Hellmann Worldwide Logistics and MAS Holdings have announced plans to develop a new built-to-suit contract logistics facility in Kimbulapitiya, Sri Lanka, as part of their joint venture Hellmann MAS Supply Chain (HMSC). Situated in the Gampaha District, approximately 6km from Bandaranaike International Airport, the facility will serve as a dedicated fashion logistics hub within Hellmann’s South Asia network. The development forms part of Hellmann’s Forward2030 strategy, which identifies the fashion sector as a key growth area. The company said Sri Lanka’s position as a trade gateway between Asia, Africa and Europe supports its ability to deliver logistics services tailored to global fashion supply chains. The facility will cover more than 8,000m² and is designed to handle a range of fashion logistics operations. It will include dual-zone humidity and climate control, as well as solar panels. The companies said the scalable infrastructure is intended to support regional distribution across multiple markets while maintaining operational and sustainability standards. The project builds on the partnership between Hellmann and MAS Holdings, established through HMSC in 2018. The joint venture combines Hellmann’s logistics network with MAS Holdings’ experience in apparel manufacturing and supply chain operations. Patrick Grzywa, regional COO for contract logistics IMEA at Hellmann Worldwide Logistics, said, “Sri Lanka combines world-class manufacturing and contract logistics capabilities with agile fashion supply chains, making it a trusted partner for global brands. With this new built-to-suit facility, we are strengthening the end-to-end fashion logistics capabilities of Hellmann MAS Supply Chain, our mutual joint venture with MAS Holdings.” Shakthi Ranatunge, chief operating officer at MAS Holdings and board member of HMSC, added, “This investment reflects MAS’s continued commitment to strengthening Sri Lanka’s position as a globally competitive apparel hub.
