Electronic Capacitors
Gustafson Gluek PLLC is representing clients who are bringing claims stemming from price fixing of capacitors. Capacitors are a component of virtually every electronic device and fall into two types: electrolytic capacitors and film capacitors.According to reports and existing law suits, manufacturers of capacitors conspired to fix prices for electrolytic capacitors since 2003 and for film capacitors since 2007. Based on reports, the potential price fixing participants include:
- Hitachi;
- Nippon Chemi-Con;
- Rubycon;
- Panasonic;
- Elna;
- Matsuo;
- NEC TOKIN;
- Nichicon;
- Nissei Electric;
- Nitsuko Electronic;
- Okaya Electric Industries;
- Shinyei;
- Soshin Electric;
- Taitsu; and
- Toshin Kogyo;
If you or your company purchased capacitors as stand-alone products from distributors that had previously purchased them from any of these companies, you may have been injured by paying an artificially and unlawfully inflated price. If you would like to discuss your legal options, please contact us.
