Suntel ties with MAS Intimates eco plant Thurulie

10-May-2008

Corporate communications giant Suntel is proud to announce its collaboration with MAS Intimates Thurulie as the preferred telecommunications partner to the eco factory.
On the 25th of April 2008, MAS Intimates (Pvt) Ltd celebrated the official opening of its first eco-plant: MAS Intimates Thurulie. The iconic eco factory – which produces bras for Marks & Spencer – is thought to be the world’s first carbon neutral apparel manufacturing facility. The factory’s innovative design focuses on curtailing energy consumption and minimizing waste while remaining environmental and user friendly.

Suntel provided a total integrated communication solution to the eco-facility, including voice, data and internet services. The challenge Suntel faced was to offer this state-of-the-art package whilst adhering to the Thurulie creed. Thus, usage of power and visual pollution had to be minimized; concurrently, efficiency levels had to be sustained and increased.

A large amount of time was devoted to ensuring a solution based on IP technology to minimize wastage, safeguard natural resources and maintain trade ethics. Employee satisfaction was also accounted for by the provision of user friendly telecom equipment, mobility and a single number concept.

Speaking at the contract signing, Jeremy Huxtable, Managing Director of Suntel, commented on the long standing partnership of MAS Holdings with Suntel:

“We are extremely pleased to partner this significant eco friendly venture with our novel communications system. Suntel is also committed to a green future, and we are delighted to collaborate with one of Sri Lanka’s first eco-manufacturing facilities.”

Dian Gomes, CEO of MAS Intimates also remarked

on the occasion.

“Thurulie demonstrates MAS Holdings’ dedication to environmentally sustainable apparel and textile manufacturing, and I am honoured by Suntel’s pledge to join us in this initiative.”
