UNPRECEDENTED CASE OF PRICE FIXING

JOONGANGILBO & JOINS.COM:05/28/2007

 

Seven companies have been fined by the Fair Trade Commission for fixing prices on a project bid, the commission said yesterday.The firms, which make gas-insulated switchgears, agreed on bids for a government procurement project, on the condition that whichever company won would share the profits with the other cartel members.

 

The companies, which included Hyundai Heavy Industries and LS Industrial Systems, held a separate, private bidding session.

 

It was the first time the commission had discovered a case of price-fixing and profit-sharing in a contract bid.A fine of 786.8 million won ($850,000) total was levied on the companies.

 

Hyundai Heavy Industries, LS Industrial Systems (formerly LG Industrial Systems), Hyosung, Kwang Myung Electric, Seondo Electric and Iljin Electric will have to pay 124.9 million won each, while ABB Korea was fined 37.4 million won by the commission.The group gathered for an order for a 24-kilovolt gas insulated switchgear placed by the Korea Container Terminal Authority.

 

They set the bidding price for each company and had one company win the authority’s order.

 

People in charge of sales at each company except ABB Korea met and agreed the winner of the bid would pay at least 100 million won to each company.

 

At the private bidding session, Kwang Myung said they could make the highest profit off the contract, which made them the predetermined bid winner.ABB Korea was not at the preliminary consultation meeting but was persuaded by other companies at the bidding site on the bidding day and agreed to cooperate in exchange for 50 million won.

 

Kwang Myung later won the order for 2.5 billion won and each of the original six firms took home 140 million won.

 

“Not only did the companies preset the bidding prices, they divided the profits,” said a Fair Trade Commission official.

 

“We fined the companies for as much as they made through unfair competition.”By Hwang Young-jin Staff Writer[yhwang@joongang.co.kr]
