HONG KONG -- iRobot has broken off ties with the Hong Kong company that for years helped develop and produce the robotic vacuum Roomba in the latest fallout from the U.S.-China trade conflict.
Without mentioning iRobot by name, Kin Yat Holdings said in a premarket exchange filing Tuesday that a "significant customer ... which is a leading American technology company specializing in robotic floor care products" was ending its service contract, noting the customer accounted for 55% of total revenues for the year ended March 2020.
