Maclaren is a manufacturer of baby buggies, strollers and carriers based in England.
In September 2000, the company went into receivership with large debts and was subsequently acquired by a family based in Monaco and Switzerland.
The factory in Long Buckby closed in October 2000, and production was moved to Shenzhen, China.
On 29 December 2011, the U.S. unit of Maclaren filed for Chapter 7 Liquidation,[1] but the company is considered one of the biggest players in this industry.
[2] In November 2009, Maclaren USA voluntarily recalled its entire line of stroller sold in the U.S. and produced from 1999 to 2009, comprising about one million units, citing 12 reported fingertip amputations in its hinges.
