Case Summary:Jeld-Wen, Inc. and Masonite Corporation are joining in a settlement alleging they conspired to artificially raise the price of interior molded doors (IMDs). Each company will be paying $9,750,000, for a total of nearly $20 million. The complaint alleged that, as a result of the companies’ conspiracy, consumers and businesses who bought the doors indirectly, and not for resale, may have paid more than they should have.
IMDs are doors made by sandwiching a wood frame and a hollow or solid core between molded doorskins, as opposed to making the door from solid wood. The product at issue in this case are standalone IMDs, which are sold individually and not as part of a larger product (such as a home) and not as part of a service (such as the installation of a door).
