Through inspection, the team discovered 128 aluminum bars with signs of violating product labels. Specifically, the enterprise had pasted other enterprises' labels on its aluminum products, with a total value of over 10 million VND.

This is an act of infringement of the rights of a protected trademark, therefore the Market Management Team has confiscated the infringing product.

On January 23, 2018, the Company representative came to work and paid an administrative fine of 16 million VND.
