Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

On July 8, 2024, the Fair Trade Commission recommended Noritz Corporation, a manufacturer and seller of water heaters, under the provisions of the pre-amended Subcontracting Law (Article 7, Paragraph 3). Noritz had subcontracted 41 suppliers to manufacture parts for its products. By June 2023 at the latest, Noritz allowed these suppliers to store a total of 5,242 molds related to the manufacturing of these parts without bearing the storage costs. This conduct was identified as a violation of the law.
