Oreck is a company that is known for its revolutionary use of the upright vacuum that it originally began selling to hotels in 1963. Founder David Oreck sold the company to American Securities Capital Partners around 10 years ago and since that time it has been passed around to other owners. The company recently went up for auction after becoming bankrupt. The starting bid was made by Tom Oreck himself but it was the Royal Appliance Manufacturing Co, bid of $24.4 million that was the final winner. A hearing has been scheduled in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Nashville for the purpose of approving the sale.
Depending on the situation of a business there are different options that are available through bankruptcy.
