Dedeman S.R.L.

Romania's Competition Council sanctioned companies active in the distribution of doors, heating plants and boilers for resale-price fixing arrangements. Dedeman received the largest retailer sanctions in both investigations: approximately RON 9.15 million in the Porta KMI door-distribution case and RON 9.51 million in the Ariston heating-equipment case. The authority found contracts that fixed resale prices or commercial margins, eliminating retailers' pricing independence. Because the exact agreement periods were not established in the available source, the sanction announcement date is used as the documented event date.
