Dyson did not choose Singapore as the location for its headquarters for tax reasons, says CEO Jim Rowan of the upcoming plan announced in January. “It made sense for us to have the epicentre of the business closer to where the manufacturing, final stage of product design, supply chain, and sales growth [are],” Rowan told reporters on July 9. Singapore already hosts Dyson’s digital motor manufacturing facility and a technology centre. Dyson currently has its manufacturing operations in Southeast Asia, with products finished in Malaysia and the Philippines.
