Vorwerk Shares Fall 1.1% After Antitrust Probe

Vorwerk shares fell 1.1% on 23 April 2026 after Italy’s antitrust authority opened a probe into its Neato vacuum cleaner practices.
The investigation alleges Vorwerk discontinued cloud services for the Neato robot, removing essential functions and potentially violating Italian consumer code.
Complaints filed Nov 2025–Apr 2026 led to watchdog and financial police inspecting Vorwerk Management and Vorwerk Italia offices.
Vorwerk is best known for its Thermomix kitchen appliance, but the probe focuses on its Neato robotic vacuum line.
