Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

Shimano Co., Ltd., a bicycle parts manufacturer with capital of 3 billion yen or less, was found to have violated the Subcontractor Payment Delay Prevention Law. The company had lent molds, machinery, and tools to its subcontractors, and since December 1, 2023, it did not place orders for products made using these molds. Despite this, Shimano required the subcontractors to store a total of 4,313 molds free of charge and to conduct inventory checks twice a year for one year. This conduct was deemed to unfairly harm the interests of the subcontractors.
