The company\u2019s corporate communications executive Antoine Mege stressed that this was not a bankruptcy situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have requested to be placed under court protection, by applying for the opening of a receivership and rehabilitation procedure,\u201d said Mege. \u201cIt is not a liquidation. The receivership and rehabilitation procedure is a solution under French law intended to allow the continuation of the company&#8217;s activity and then its revival, the only way to ensure its durability. The final objective of this procedure is to find a buyer able to invest in the growth and development of Sigfox.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The six-month procedure will allow the Sigfox group to continue all its commercial activities to deliver its clients and meet their needs, under the authority of mandators designated by the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through a combination of low cost and low energy technologies, with a global network owned and operated by 75 operators, Sigfox enables its customers to gain visibility and track their assets around the world. Sigfox covers a population of 1.4 billion people in 75 countries, and processes nearly 80 million messages per day generated by 20 million objects registered to its network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The observation period will allow a takeover plan able to support Sigfox\u2019s long-term development and maintain jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A statement from the company said the decision to place Sigfox under the protection of the justice through this proceeding was made because of a slower-than-expected adoption cycle for its technology, despite effective shareholder support. In addition, the IoT sector has suffered from the Covid-19 pandemic crisis, slowing down activity over the past two years and putting the pressure on the electronic components market, now in shortage. These factors combined have strongly impacted the company&#8217;s financial situation, in particular its debt level, which now makes it difficult to speed up the development of Sigfox and its worldwide recognised technology in an increasingly competitive market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26710,"featured_media":14453,"template":"","news-category":[62],"library-tag":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sigfox goes into receivership - IoT M2M Council<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iotm2mcouncil.org\/iot-library\/news\/iot-newsdesk\/sigfox-goes-into-receivership\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sigfox goes into receivership - IoT M2M Council\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sigfox has been placed in receivership by the Toulouse commercial court and has been given six months to put its finances in order.
