One of the foremost component manufacturing facilities of the region’s leading apparel manufacturer MAS Holdings, Silueta (Pvt) Ltd., has been accredited with both ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications within a span of three months.

Silueta has grown significantly to become a critical link in MAS’ supply chain, driven by its core business of moulded bra cups with a daily output in excess of 100,000 pairs. The facility has been recognised by Victoria’s Secret and Marks & Spencer as an official launch vendor, and caters to a gamut of international lingerie manufacturers such as La Senza, PINK, Soma Intimates, Triumph and Sloggi.

The ISO 9001 is a standards award that focuses on a company’s quality management in terms of production, operations and development, while the ISO 14001 focuses on the development and execution of an environmental and sustainable policy throughout the facility.

Silueta has excelled in both areas maximising productivity and efficiency through standardisation, while also instilling a proper management system for energy consumption, waste management and water purification.

Silueta’s innovation-driven culture has led to the establishment of the Close Comfort Project (CCP) which uses a patented technology for silicone and flock application on garments. Branded ‘Silsoft’, this technology paves the way for numerous apparel solutions such as customised compression for shape and sportswear.

Silueta CEO Rajiv Dharmendra stated: “Innovation has become the main differentiator within the apparel industry. MAS believes that investment in innovation, building relationships, talent, infrastructure and technology better positions them in a challenging market.

“Silueta’s manufacturing excellence, globally recognised systems and processes, and more so its entrepreneurial capability to pursue technological advances and provide a unique service offering to customers will help us continuously evolve and grow in this dynamic industry.”
