Managing Director
“From a humble showroom at Wijerama Junction, Nugegoda, Dayaratne Group began its journey over 50 years ago.
What started as a small operation in 1967 by our late father, Mr. W.M. Dayaratne, has now evolved into a dynamic,
globally connected enterprise. Today, we stand strong with our own warehouse, a state of the art repair and
maintenance center, a multi-story brand-new showroom, and international offices in Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Egypt,
and Kenya.
As pioneers in Sri Lanka’s sewing machine rental industry, we have expanded our presence to India, Bangladesh,
Kenya, and Indonesia. While machine rentals remain our core service, we have diversified into importing, selling,
refurbishing, repairing, and maintaining industrial sewing machines along with spare parts, accessories, and
cutting edge automation solutions to meet the evolving needs of the industry.
Our biggest strength is our people especially our highly skilled technical team. Their deep expertise and
problem-solving abilities make us the preferred choice for industrial sewing machine repairs, maintenance, and
automation solutions. Their dedication has solidified our reputation as a trusted partner in the global apparel
solutions industry.
Understanding the rapidly changing landscape of manufacturing, we have embraced sewing machine automation to
enhance efficiency, precision, and productivity. This step marks a new chapter in our journey, ensuring that our
clients benefit from the latest technological advancements in industrial sewing.
With a strong international presence, we have built a robust distribution network across Bangladesh, India, Hong
Kong, Kenya, and now Egypt. As the official agents for Typical and Kingtex sewing machines from China and Taiwan
in Sri Lanka, and Groz-Beckert needles in Bangladesh, we work closely with our partners to ensure our customers
receive the highest quality products, outstanding value, and exceptional after-sales support.
Our success is built on two pillars our dedicated employees and our valued customers. From large-scale apparel
exporters to small and medium enterprises, and even home-based sewing enthusiasts, we take pride in serving a
diverse clientele. Our newly opened showroom at Wijerama Junction is designed as a one-stop destination for all
apparel solutions, offering an extensive range of sewing machines, spare parts, and accessories.
We also take this moment to honor the strong foundation laid by our visionary founder, the late Mr. W.M.
Dayaratne. His unwavering commitment to quality, customer satisfaction, and innovation continues to guide our
path. As we move forward, Dayaratne Group remains committed to delivering excellence, embracing innovation, and
expanding our global footprint.
Together, we sew the future”.
