Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

Kayaba Corporation, a manufacturer of hydraulic buffers and hydraulic equipment, was found to have required its subcontractors, which are small corporations with capital of 300 million yen or less, to store molds and jigs (including those updated by subcontractors) without placing orders for parts made using these molds for a long period, at least since April 1, 2023. This practice was deemed to unfairly harm the interests of the subcontractors by having them store these molds free of charge despite no ongoing manufacturing orders.
