- WYBOT pool cleaners are developed and manufactured by WYBOTICS Co.,LTD, the Tianjin company whose predecessor was Tianjin Wangyuan Environmental Protection & Technology Co., Ltd.; WYBOT is a company-owned brand, not a separate manufacturer.
- As of April 15, 2026, Fu Guilan, Yu Qian and entities they control held 71.58% of WYBOTICS' voting control, while the April 2026 Hong Kong filing remained a draft application proof rather than evidence of a completed listing.
- WYBOTICS manufactures both its own WYBOT and Winny products and commissioned ODM products, but the exact seller, importer, product label, market authorization and warranty route still require SKU-level verification.
WYBOT pool cleaners are developed and manufactured by WYBOTICS Co.,LTD, a Tianjin-based robotic pool-cleaner company. WYBOT is one of the company’s own brands, not a separate manufacturer. The name “Wangyuan” appears because WYBOTICS’ predecessor was Tianjin Wangyuan Environmental Protection & Technology Co., Ltd.
The ownership answer is more specific. In its April 2026 Hong Kong listing application, WYBOTICS said Fu Guilan, her son Yu Qian and entities they control together held 71.58% of the voting rights as of April 15, 2026. That is a controlling-shareholder group, not a claim that two individuals directly own 71.58% or that the company is wholly family-owned. The filing was also an application proof in draft form, not evidence that a Hong Kong listing had been completed.
For distributors and procurement teams, “Who makes WYBOT?” is only the first question. WYBOTICS also manufactures commissioned ODM products, operates through regional subsidiaries and sells through multiple channels. The legal manufacturer, contract seller, importer and warranty provider may therefore be related but are not automatically the same entity in every market or order.
WYBOT and WYBOTICS at a Glance
| Company or layer | Verified role | Important boundary |
|---|---|---|
| WYBOT | A robotic pool-cleaner brand under WYBOTICS | A brand, not a separate manufacturer or parent company |
| WYBOTICS Co.,LTD | Researches, designs, manufactures and markets robotic pool cleaners | The group manufacturer is not automatically the invoice seller or importer for every transaction |
| Tianjin Wangyuan Environmental Protection & Technology Co., Ltd. | WYBOTICS’ predecessor, established in 2005 | A historical corporate identity, not a separate current parent company |
| Fu Guilan, Yu Qian and controlled entities | Controlling-shareholder group with 71.58% voting control as of April 15, 2026 | Voting control is not the same as direct individual ownership or 100% ownership |
| Tianjin production base | Self-owned manufacturing base with three workshops and more than 10,000 square meters of gross floor area | Exact component origin and batch still require product-level evidence |
| WYBOTICS regional subsidiaries | Handle disclosed local sales, e-commerce, import/export or after-sales functions | The role of each entity varies by market and transaction |
| ODM customer | Commissions products sold under its own brand and specifications | Same manufacturer does not prove identical products, brand ownership or warranty coverage |
| Exact SKU and order | Label, serial number, invoice, import record and warranty terms define responsibility | A WYBOT logo alone does not identify every legal party in the supply chain |
Who Makes WYBOT Pool Cleaners?
WYBOTICS Co.,LTD makes WYBOT pool cleaners.
The company’s April 2026 application proof filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange says it researches, designs, manufactures and markets robotic pool cleaners. It sells branded products under WYBOT and Winny Pool Cleaner, while also making commissioned products for ODM customers.
This is not merely a trademark-license relationship. WYBOTICS describes itself as the product developer and manufacturer, and its official European company page calls WYBOT a brand under WYBOTICS.
The precise corporate name matters in due diligence. WYBOTICS Co.,LTD is the English name used by 天津望圆智能科技股份有限公司. Some labels, trademark records or older documents may instead refer to Tianjin Wangyuan Environmental Protection & Technology Co., Ltd. Those names belong to the same corporate history, but a buyer should record the exact entity shown on the current product and transaction documents.
Does WYBOTICS Own the WYBOT Brand?
The public evidence supports treating WYBOT as a company-owned brand of WYBOTICS.
WYBOTICS’ filing identifies WYBOT and Winny Pool Cleaner as its own brands and reports a portfolio of registered trademarks in China and overseas. Official brand pages also describe WYBOT as a brand created under WYBOTICS in 2021.
Trademark evidence still has territorial limits. For example, the Canadian trademarks database links a WYBOT application and an active WYBOTICS registration to the Tianjin Wangyuan corporate name. That supports the corporate-history link, but a Canadian record is not a worldwide legal opinion. Importers should check the current owner, status and goods class in every target market.
The practical relationship is:
- WYBOTICS is the operating company and manufacturer.
- WYBOT is one of its branded product lines.
- Wangyuan is part of the company’s historical legal identity.
- A marketplace seller or local distributor does not become the trademark owner by selling the product.
Who Owns or Controls WYBOTICS?
WYBOTICS is controlled by Fu Guilan, Yu Qian and entities through which they exercise voting rights.
According to the April 2026 application proof, Fu directly held 10.88% and Yu directly held 0.93%. Other shares were held through Tianjin Zhuhui, Tianjin Wangyuan and two limited partnerships. Fu and Yu owned or controlled the relevant entities, and Fu was the sole general partner able to exercise the voting rights of the two partnerships. Together, the disclosed controlling shareholders could control 71.58% of the voting rights at shareholder meetings as of April 15, 2026. Yu is Fu’s son.
Three qualifications are essential:
- The 71.58% figure describes the combined voting control of a defined shareholder group, not only the two individuals’ direct holdings.
- The company has other shareholders, so it should not be described as 100% family-owned.
- The document was a draft application proof. It did not confirm that WYBOTICS had completed a Hong Kong initial public offering or become a listed company.
For a later ownership check, use the newest company filing rather than treating the April 2026 percentage as permanent.
Why Do “Wangyuan” and “WYBOTICS” Both Appear?
The two names reflect a corporate conversion rather than an acquisition by an unrelated parent.
The company traces its history to Tianjin Wangyuan Environmental Protection & Technology Co., Ltd., established on December 23, 2005 to operate a robotic pool-cleaner business. On December 31, 2021, it converted from a limited liability company into a joint stock limited company and adopted the name WYBOTICS Co.,LTD in English and 天津望圆智能科技股份有限公司 in Chinese.
This history explains why older manuals, trademark databases, contracts or compliance documents may show a Wangyuan name. It does not by itself make those documents invalid. The correct B2B response is to reconcile the names through a corporate-history record and then check whether the document was current for the model, market and date in question.
Where Are WYBOT Pool Cleaners Made?
WYBOTICS reports that its manufacturing facilities are in Tianjin, China.
Its April 2026 filing says the company manufactures substantially all of its products at owned facilities. As of December 31, 2025, the Tianjin production base had three workshops with more than 10,000 square meters of gross floor area. The company also said it develops and manufactures substantially all key components used in both branded and ODM products in-house and assembles the products at its self-owned production base.
That is strong evidence for a vertically integrated Tianjin manufacturing structure, but it should not be stretched into an unlimited origin claim. “Substantially all” is not “every component,” and a group-level filing does not identify the factory, bill of materials or customs origin of every unit sold worldwide.
For a specific shipment, verify:
| Question | Best evidence |
|---|---|
| Who is the legal manufacturer? | Product label, manual, declaration of conformity and regulatory record |
| Where was the model assembled? | Factory declaration, production code, audit and batch traceability |
| What is the declared country of origin? | Unit and carton labels, customs declaration and import documents |
| Which configuration was approved? | Complete model number, test report, certificate scope and firmware version |
| Who placed it on the market? | Importer or responsible-person label and local regulatory record |
WYBOTICS has disclosed a plan to build another Tianjin production base of about 31,000 square meters and add more than 600,000 units of annual capacity, with operations expected by 2027. That is a future expansion plan, not current installed capacity.
Does WYBOTICS Manufacture Pool Cleaners for Other Brands?
Yes. WYBOTICS is both an own-brand manufacturer and an ODM supplier.
The company says it has made commissioned products for pool-equipment brands including Bestway, CASH and Productos QP. Its branded-product revenue share increased from 67.1% in 2023 to 83.5% in 2025, showing a strategic shift toward WYBOT and Winny Pool Cleaner while ODM remained part of the business.
This dual model is commercially important, but it is also a common source of false conclusions. If WYBOTICS manufactures for another brand, that does not automatically mean:
- the other brand is owned by WYBOTICS;
- the product is a rebadged WYBOT model;
- batteries, motors, filters or software are interchangeable;
- the same certification applies;
- the same distributor or service center must honor the warranty.
The filing says branded and commissioned products can differ in design, functionality, pricing and market positioning. An ODM customer also orders against its own specifications and sells under its own brand. Product equivalence therefore requires a model-level comparison, not a factory-level inference.
Which WYBOTICS Entity Sells or Supports the Product by Region?
WYBOTICS has established overseas subsidiaries, but their disclosed group functions do not replace the documents for a particular transaction.
| Region or entity | Disclosed group role | What a buyer must still verify |
|---|---|---|
| WYBOTICS Co.,LTD, China | Product development, supply chain, manufacturing and group-level operations | Manufacturer name on the exact SKU and export-contract party |
| Wybotics Inc., United States | Online sales and local commercial functions | Whether it is seller, importer and warranty provider for the specific order |
| WYBOTICS EUROPE, France | Wholesale, retail, import/export and after-sales functions | Contract seller, EU economic operator and service terms for the target country |
| WYBOTICS HONGKONG COMPANY LIMITED | Sales of robotic pool cleaners | Whether the Hong Kong company is the invoice or export party for the order |
| Dulwich Electronic Commerce Inc., United States | Disclosed research, development and sales functions | Whether the entity appears anywhere in the buyer’s contract or product records |
| Third-party marketplace or merchant | May resell branded products under a buyer-seller arrangement | Authorized status, invoice identity, stock source, return route and warranty eligibility |
The company’s use of Amazon, independent websites and third-party merchants creates multiple commercial routes. A product can be genuine while the buyer’s contractual counterparty is a marketplace operator or reseller. Procurement teams should therefore capture the legal seller name before payment rather than relying only on the storefront name.
What Did the 2026 U.S. Recall Reveal About Responsibility?
A model-specific U.S. recall shows why the responsibility chain must be documented precisely.
On April 9, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall covering approximately 5,000 specified WYBOT Osprey 700 Max and S1 robotic pool vacuums. The notice identified Wybotics Co. Ltd. of Tianjin, China as the manufacturer and Wybotics Inc. of Arcadia, California as the importer. It limited the remedy to stated models and serial-number ranges.
The notice is useful because it separates four facts:
- WYBOT is the consumer-facing brand;
- the Tianjin company is the named manufacturer;
- the U.S. subsidiary is the named importer for the recalled units;
- recall coverage depends on exact model and serial number.
It would be inaccurate to say every WYBOT product was recalled or that the U.S. subsidiary must be the importer for every WYBOT SKU. Regulatory notices are strong evidence, but only within their stated product and market scope.
Who Provides the WYBOT Warranty?
WYBOT does not publish one universal warranty that can be applied to every product and market.
The current U.S. Warranty & Refund Policy says warranty periods vary by model, generally from 12 to 24 months. It also includes conditions involving territory, original purchase, proof of purchase, serial number and authorized sales channels. Other country sites, local distributors or commercial contracts may use different terms.
Before placing a distributor or project order, obtain written answers to these questions:
- Which legal entity issues the invoice?
- Is the seller authorized for the destination market?
- Who is the importer or responsible economic operator?
- What is the complete product and battery model number?
- Which warranty document applies to this SKU, channel and country?
- Who pays inbound freight, diagnostics and replacement delivery?
- Are batteries, motors and control boards stocked locally?
- Can firmware, app accounts and cloud services operate in the destination market?
- How are recalls and safety notices matched to serial numbers?
A marketplace listing that promises “two years” is not enough. The controlling evidence is the applicable warranty document combined with the invoice, serial number and authorized-channel record.
A Procurement Checklist for WYBOT and WYBOTICS Products
For a commercial purchase, distributor appointment or private-label evaluation, keep the following evidence in one file:
- current company registration and the Wangyuan-to-WYBOTICS name history;
- target-market trademark owner and status;
- exact model, part number, battery code and serial-number format;
- manufacturer and country-of-origin labels on the unit and carton;
- declarations, test reports and certificates matching the same configuration;
- factory address, production scope and latest audit;
- contract seller, exporter, importer and local responsible person;
- authorized-distributor evidence and channel restrictions;
- written warranty matrix by model and country;
- spare-parts, battery-shipping and RMA procedures;
- recall screening and batch-traceability process;
- for ODM orders, ownership of tooling, product IP, firmware, certifications and trademark use.
This structure prevents four different questions—brand ownership, manufacturing, import responsibility and warranty—from being compressed into one vague answer.

Wangyuan is part of WYBOTICS’ corporate history. Tianjin Wangyuan Environmental Protection & Technology Co., Ltd. was the predecessor that converted into the joint stock company named WYBOTICS Co.,LTD in December 2021.
Who owns WYBOTICS?
As of April 15, 2026, Fu Guilan, Yu Qian and entities they controlled together held 71.58% of the company’s voting control. The company also had other shareholders, and the percentage should be rechecked in the latest filing.
Is WYBOTICS listed in Hong Kong?
The April 2026 public document was a draft application proof. It explicitly said there was no assurance an offering would proceed, so the filing should not be treated as proof of a completed Hong Kong listing.
Are WYBOT pool cleaners made in China?
WYBOTICS reports that its owned manufacturing facilities are in Tianjin, China and that it manufactures substantially all products there. Buyers should still check the country-of-origin and manufacturer labels for the exact SKU and shipment.
Does WYBOTICS make pool cleaners for other brands?
Yes. WYBOTICS reports ODM relationships with brands including Bestway, CASH and Productos QP. This does not prove those products are identical to WYBOT models or share the same parts, certifications or warranties.
How long is the WYBOT warranty?
The U.S. policy says the period varies by model and generally ranges from 12 to 24 months. Other markets and channels may differ, so verify the exact SKU, country, seller and warranty document.
Bottom Line
WYBOT pool cleaners are made by WYBOTICS Co.,LTD, the Tianjin robotic-pool-cleaner company formerly known as Tianjin Wangyuan Environmental Protection & Technology Co., Ltd. WYBOT is an in-house brand, while Fu Guilan, Yu Qian and controlled entities formed the controlling-shareholder group disclosed in April 2026.
For B2B buyers, that corporate answer is the start—not the end—of due diligence. Confirm the exact manufacturer label, SKU, seller, importer, market authorization and warranty route before treating any WYBOT or WYBOTICS relationship as transaction-specific proof.
