Dyson Limited, trading as Dyson, is a Singaporean multinational technology company. Founded in 1991 by James Dyson in Malmesbury, England, the company designs and manufactures household appliances such as vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, hand dryers, bladeless fans, heaters, hair dryers, and lights. As of 2022, Dyson has more than 14,000 employees worldwide.
In 2019, Dyson announced the company’s permanent move from the United Kingdom to Singapore, where its headquarters are at the St James Power Station building. Ever since, the company has conducted its base of operations out of Singapore, with its headquarters being the hub for Dyson’s research and engineering teams, as well as commercial, advanced manufacturing and supply chain operations. In 2022, Dyson announced that it would be investing a further $1.5 billion in the country.
In January 2019, Dyson announced that it intended to design and manufacture an electric vehicle (EV). The EV programme was terminated later that year on 10 October as the company believed it was not “commercially viable”. A prototype of the EV, known as the N526, was unveiled in 2020 and is now showcased within their headquarters.[
