About this page

This page reports the Fair Trade Commission's orders issued on July 30, 2019, against nine asphalt mix manufacturers for violating the Antimonopoly Act. The companies illegally restricted competition by coordinating price increases through regular meetings, coordinating pricing policies across regions, and exchanging sales information. Factory managers were instructed to negotiate coordinated price increases with competitors. The companies also concealed their agreements by avoiding records and marking documents for destruction. Total surcharges imposed amounted to approximately 39.9 billion yen.
