Violation

Machine-translated summary — verify against original

SMK Corporation, a company with capital of 300 million yen or less, was found to have lent molds and mold components owned by itself or its customers to subcontractors. Despite not placing orders for parts manufactured using these molds after January 1, 2024, SMK required subcontractors to store a total of 823 molds free of charge, thereby unfairly harming their interests. The Fair Trade Commission issued a recommendation on July 15, 2025, under the Subcontractor Payment Delay Prevention Law.
