The closely held company, best known for its premium-priced cleaning and hygiene appliances, reiterated that it will add more than 250 engineers and scientists in Singapore. Its new home in the city-state where founder James Dyson bought properties and set up a family office is housed in a former power station.
Dyson Ltd. opened its new global headquarters in Singapore on Friday and announced plans to invest $1.5 billion in expanding its research and engineering capabilities in the city-state.
The move is part of an expansive strategy announced in late 2020 to develop new technologies after the company reversed course on its initiative to create an electric car. Dyson’s $4.9 billion global investment plan spans machine learning, robotics and energy storage and puts the geographic focus on its operations in Singapore, the Philippines and the UK.
