Lankan group bonds Olympic swimmers

When a group of the world’s best swimmers like Michael Phelps from the US prepare to clinch as many gold as possible at the Beijing Games, a Sri Lankan group will enjoy every part of that success. Stretchline Holdings, part of MAS Holdings Group, is taking Sri Lanka into the international limelight, as two of its innovations have been instrumental in the development of the world’s fastest swimsuit -- the Speedo LZR Racer. This cutting edge creation is all about reducing drag in the water, and the key to the success of the suit are two very unique products developed solely by Stretchline -- stay4sure and Bondelast, according to a company spokesman.
