Selyn Group

SELYN GROUP

Business and impact, built to strengthen each other.

Selyn is an ecosystem that feeds and supports each company. Each part of the Group is what makes another part possible.

Our commercial businesses create jobs, manufacturing capability and financial sustainability. Our Foundation creates impact, partnerships, evidence and access. Our manufacturing capability lets us develop new products and businesses. Our newer businesses create the next generation of growth.

THE BUSINESSES

Five businesses, one ecosystem.

Each serves a different audience and earns its own living. What they share is a factory floor, an artisan network and thirty-five years of Fair Trade practice – which is why what one learns, the others get to use.

01

Selyn Textiles & Handicrafts

HERITAGE & CREDIBILITY
For international buyers, retail partners and premium manufacturing clients

This is where Selyn began, and it is what makes everything after it believable. Three and a half decades of handloom has given the Group relationships and expertise that cannot be bought or rebuilt quickly.

35+ years of heritage Fair Trade credibility Artisan & community relationships International buyer relationships Textile & craft expertise

Our heritage gives us the credibility and capability to build what comes next.

02

Selyn Play

MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY, TAKEN FURTHER
For international toy brands and boutique manufacturing partners

Toys prove that our design, textile and production knowledge travels into new global markets. The ambition is increasingly B2B – a boutique manufacturing partner for international toy brands, with our own collections as proof.

Boutique B2B manufacturing Design & product development Export market access Own-brand collections as proof

We take Sri Lankan manufacturing capability into new products and global markets.

03

FemmeCare

INNOVATION & CONSUMER GROWTH
For women and girls, retailers and distribution partners

A different kind of growth: decades of working with textiles, manufacturing, women and communities applied to a major women's health challenge. FemmeCare provides accessible, reusable and sustainable menstrual care products.

Consumer-facing brand Women's health category Accessibility & affordability Next-generation revenue

We use what we know to build new businesses that solve real problems.

04

Selyn Foundation

PURPOSE INTO MEASURABLE IMPACT
For communities, corporates, government and development partners

Not a CSR arm. The Foundation is the Group's platform for programmes, partnerships and evidence – and the route through which external resources and collaborators reach the communities we work with.

Women & community programmes Partnerships Research & evidence Grants & development funding

We don't only talk about impact. We build partnerships and programmes that create it.

05

Manufacturing

THE CAPABILITY UNDERNEATH EVERYTHING
For every brand in the Group – and the communities around production

Behind the brands is the thing that matters most: we actually make things. Factories, artisans, textile capability and product development teams are what turn an idea into a product and a livelihood.

Factories & production centres Artisan network Textile capability Product development teams

Ideas become impact because we have the capability to make them real.

Handmade by Mothers

Discover the incredible journey of Selyn, a social enterprise in Sri Lanka dedicated to empowering women and reviving traditional handloom weaving. Founded by Sandra Wanduragala in 1991, Selyn started with just 15 women in a small garage. Today, we're proud to uplift communities and preserve the art of handloom weaving.
