KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 25 — Dyson has terminated its relationship with supplier ATA IMS Bhd following an audit of the Malaysian company’s labour practices and allegations by a whistleblower, the firm famed for its high-tech vacuum cleaners told Reuters.
The termination is also a significant blow for Malaysia, a key electronics manufacturing hub that has faced scrutiny this year over exploitation of foreigners who make up a large share of its factory workforce. ATA had in May denied allegations of forced labour at its factories after a prominent rights activist said US authorities were going to scrutinise the company’s work practices.
