Roomba掃除機のメーカーであるiRobotは,中国製のPicea Roboticsによる新しい所有権の下で再編計画の一環として2025年12月15日に第11章破産を申請し,同社は買収され,負債をなくし,私有化される. iRobot, maker of the Roomba vacuum, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on December 15, 2025, as part of a plan to restructure under new ownership by Chinese manufacturer Picea Robotics, which will acquire the company, eliminate its debt, and take it private. この動きは激しい競争,ベトナム製製品に対する46%の米国関税,そしてアマゾンの買収失敗による財政的負担に続く. The move follows financial strain from intense competition, a 46% U.S. tariff on Vietnamese-made products, and a failed Amazon acquisition. 最近の収益低下と株の減少にかかわらず,IRobotは業務,アプリ,顧客の支援,供給のチェーンは継続すると述べた. Despite a recent revenue drop and a 70% stock plunge, iRobot said operations, apps, customer support, and supply chains will continue uninterrupted. 前項の破産は,2026年2月までに終了すると見込まれている. The prepackaged bankruptcy is expected to conclude by February 2026.
