Since the founding of Screenline in 1997, its Chairman and Managing Director, Nishantha Kumara Bakmeege, has guided the company to become Sri Lanka’s largest embellisher today. His passion for artistry combined with remarkable technical prowess and mastery of screen printing has without doubt been the cornerstone of Screenline’s success.
His journey, with very little capital to start with, was a challenging one, having to deal with competitors who were better connected and funded. It was Nishantha’s sheer dedication and an unrelenting pursuit of innovation that culminated in Screenline surpassing its competitors to secure its current leadership position as the ‘preferred printing solutions provider’ among leading manufacturers and brands.
Nishantha is dedicated to raising the bar in screen printing and embellishments through greater investments in R&D and innovation and further streamlining processes. This led to Nishantha being awarded a patent for an innovation in multi station screen printing.
Having set his targets to penetrate further into the Sri Lankan market and regional markets with a strong apparel manufacturing base, Nishantha is confident that Screenline will evolve as a global player leading the way in embellishing solutions to the world’s top brands.
Art has always been second nature to me. Even as a child I would spend a lot of time drawing anything that sprang to mind. This is where I first learned to express my creativity.
In my youth, I was employed as a printing helper and learned the basics of printing. Back then, printing was considered a blue-collar job and no one was particularly fond of getting their hands dirty. Today I realize that working as a helper has allowed me to understand my business better than anyone else and this has provided a competitive edge to Screenline.
As an artist and an entrepreneur, I take pride in the aesthetic value we add to clothing at Screenline and growing the Company to be among the best in the world in embellishing. The 23 years of experience in the industry and 17 years as the head of my company, I have been able to accumulated sufficient knowledge to secure two global patents for screen printing.
My greatest asset is the talented workforce at Screenline who share my passion for the art and science of screen printing. The future is bright for Screenline as I reflect on the vast opportunities before the Group to grow our partnerships with global brands and world class apparel manufacturers enabling them to offer fashionable and innovative product lines to consumers.
