The storm of fraudulent data from Kobe Steel, Japan's third-largest steel company, has not stopped, and non-ferrous metal giant Mitsubishi Materials has fallen. However, the Japanese manufacturing myth was hit hard again on the 28th. Toray has released news that its subsidiary Toray Hybrid Cord (Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture) has tampered with the inspection data of its products. From April 2008 to July 2016, a total of 149 tamperings were reported, supplying 13 companies including tire manufacturers with non-compliant tire reinforcement materials that did not meet the promised standards.
According to a report by Kyodo News Agency on November 28, Toray has grasped the facts of fraud in its subsidiaries since July last year. However, it took more than a year to officially announce and apologize.
