Beware of Counterfeit PTFE SEAL TAPE!

09/06/2024 Products
Recently, we were notified by Chinese customs authorities that products suspected of infringing upon our trademark rights (TOMBO™ brand) had been discovered. After confirming the information regarding the suspected items, we filed an application with customs for an injunction. As a result, approximately 30,000 pcs. of counterfeit PTFE SEAL TAPE (TOMBO™ No. 9082) were seized and disposed of by customs, preventing them from being distributed in markets outside of China.
 
Upon investigation using the exporter information provided by customs, we confirmed that the Chinese company attempting to export these counterfeit products has no affiliation with the NICHIAS group or any of its authorized distributors.
 
We kindly ask our customers to ensure that you purchase our products only through legitimate channels to avoid accidentally purchasing counterfeit items. If you come across any products that appear suspicious, please contact us immediately. Please note that we cannot be held responsible for any defects or damages caused by counterfeit products.
 
NICHIAS has been actively combating counterfeit products overseas by utilizing our TOMBO™ brand trademark rights to request enforcement actions, including seizures and export bans by foreign authorities (including police and customs). We will continue our comprehensive efforts to protect our customers' interests by eliminating counterfeit products, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
