Canada terminates contract with Supermax


KUALA LUMPUR: Canada has terminated its sourcing contract with Supermax Corp Bhd following allegations of forced labour against the glove manufacturer, according to a Reuters report yesterday that cited the country’s public services and procurement department.

The country had halted imports of rubber gloves produced by Supermax in November last year, after making a decision to determine its next steps following an audit report over the company’s labour practices.
