The underwear manufacturer Dim has placed "some" of its approximately 800 employees on partial unemployment for an indefinite period.
In question: a “serious computer incident”, the company said on Monday, without commenting on assertions by the local press evoking a “cyberattack”.
“Since the middle of last week, DBI (Dim Brands International) has been faced with a serious incident impacting our computer network.
We have taken all necessary measures and are actively working to restore our services as soon as possible, ”says DIM, owned by the American Regent LP, in a press release.
The shops are operating normally
The company has therefore placed part of its workforce on partial unemployment while waiting to be able to restart its activity.
"Our network of stores continues to operate normally," says the company.
DIM, which claims to be the leading underwear brand in France, was sold last November by the American multinational Hanesbrand to the American private equity fund Regent LP for a symbolic euro, liabilities included.
This transfer has been effective since last March.
Founded in 1953, Dim then became a symbol of "Made in France".
The company had more than a thousand employees ten years ago before undergoing several changes of ownership.
