Sri Lankan clothing retailer expands to the Maldives

July 29, 2009 (LBO) – Sri Lankan menswear retailer Hameedia has expanded into the neighbouring Maldive islands, opening a showroom in the capital Male.
“It involves a careful selection of fabrics and accessories, studying both national and international market trends, and, the demanding task of marketing.
” Hameedia Managing Director Fouzul Hameed said the company was looking to expand further and establish a presence in other regional markets as well.

The company had opened a showroom in Chennai in south India in 2004.

“Taking our own brands to international markets is quite a different exercise,” Hameed said in a statement.
