Our Story

Vogue Tex (Pvt) Ltd. began operations in the apparel manufacturing industry in Sri Lanka in 1991, with a single factory based in the beautiful coastal town of Kosgoda. Over the years, while consistently refining our manufacturing expertise and processes, we have gradually increased our production capacity to 7 production units which are globally certified.

Employing a workforce of over 7,500 employees, Vogue Tex provides a range of services through the European office in Germany and its Sri Lankan based operations. With our set-up we serve customers both in the US and European markets. Constantly investing in both new technology and our people, we have always found a way to adapt quickly to the ever changing needs of the apparel industry. This is seen in the manufacturing process itself, our design input, sourcing of the right materials, and the management of multi kind orders and our customer relationships.

The German-Sri Lankan partnership that we have built over several decades gives us a unique market position. This collaboration has allowed us to combine the most effective and efficient work elements from each distinct system. Our core strengths as an apparel manufacturer, in addition to the list of specialized services we provide, are the the loyal relationships we cultivate with our customers and the continuous investments we make in our employees. It is a matter of great pride for Vogue Tex that our first customer is still with us today.
