The latest announcement is out from Kyokuto Kaihatsu Kogyo Co., Ltd. ( (JP:7226) ).
Kyokuto Kaihatsu Kogyo and its subsidiary Nippon Trex have filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn part of a surcharge payment order imposed by the Japan Fair Trade Commission over antitrust violations related to the sale of vehicle upper bodies. The companies dispute certain factual findings and legal interpretations behind the surcharge, even as they acknowledge the Antimonopoly Act breach and apologize to customers, partners and shareholders.
The group says it is strengthening compliance and internal controls to prevent a recurrence and restore trust, irrespective of the lawsuit’s outcome. Under the existing order, the two firms are jointly required to pay a total surcharge of ¥5.93 billion to the national treasury by April 27, 2026, reflecting a 30% reduction granted under the surcharge reduction and exemption system.
