Dyson statement

A Dyson spokesperson said:

“This opportunistic claim by the law firm Leigh Day, on behalf of 24 of ATA’s employees, should be brought against their employer, ATA, in Malaysia and against its Malaysian managers who are named in the claim as the perpetrators. ATA, the employer of the 24 workers, is a substantial company, publicly listed in Malaysia, operating under the supervision of its management, and under the control of its majority shareholders on its Board. ATA manufactures products for a variety of brands in its Malaysian factories, not just Dyson. Having been left with no alternative, Dyson terminated its contract with ATA in November 2021. This is the ultimate sanction that any business has over a third-party supplier even though that action may regrettably jeopardise thousands of jobs in Malaysia.”
