Violation
SANEI Corporation, a water fixture manufacturer with capital under 300 million yen, was advised by the Fair Trade Commission for violations of the Subcontractor Payment Delay Prevention Law. The violations include: (1) from July 2022 to January 2024, deducting 'purchase discounts' totaling 4,709,138 yen from payments to 10 subcontractors; (2) on August 30, 2024, paying back the deducted amount; (3) lending molds (totaling 692 types) without charge to 50 subcontractors, despite not ordering products made with these molds for a long period after July 1, 2022, and conducting annual inventory checks that unjustly harmed subcontractors' interests; (4) discarding 182 molds out of the 692 types between July 31, 2023, and April 5, 2024, affecting 28 subcontractors. The actions involved lending molds without charge and conducting inventory checks, which are violations of the law.
