Dyson V8 cordless vacuum cleaner

Dyson is a global technology company that revolutionized the home appliance industry with the invention of the bagless vacuum cleaner. The brand was founded in 1991 by Sir James Dyson in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, England. After the success of his initial 'G-Force' and DC01 models, Dyson expanded globally, becoming a leader in cyclonic separation technology.

Historically, Dyson manufactured its products in the United Kingdom. However, in 2002, the company moved its vacuum cleaner production to Malaysia to lower costs and be closer to its supply chain hubs. Today, Dyson products are manufactured in multiple locations across Southeast Asia, including Malaysia and the Philippines. In recent years, the company has heavily invested in 'advanced manufacturing' facilities in Singapore for next-generation components like solid-state batteries.

In a significant corporate shift in 2019, Dyson moved its global headquarters from the United Kingdom to Singapore, specifically to the historic St James Power Station. Despite this move, the company maintains a massive research and development footprint in the UK at its Malmesbury and Hullavington campuses. As of 2026, the company remains a private entity owned by the Dyson family, consistently focusing on premium, high-tech household solutions.
