Judge Linda Reade

CEDAR RAPIDS, IA—The $31.6 million Goss International judgment for press equipment dumping levied against TKS last December was upheld in federal court on May 26. In issuing the decision, U.S. District Court Judge Linda Reade cited evidence that TKS, the U.S. subsidiary of Tokyo Kikai Seisakusho, used "a fraudulent price increase and secret $2.2 million rebate" to prevent one U.S. newspaper from purchasing Goss presses.

TKS was found to have systematically dumped its press equipment on the U.S.
