Dyson develops its products here in Singapore – and they hire fresh grads

That new Airwrap couldn't have been made without the R&D work that took place in Singapore. And Dyson is here because they can recruit talent from local universities.

If you are style-conscious or have style-conscious friends or family members, then you’re familiar with the high-pitched sound of someone lusting after a Dyson hair dryer or styling tool.
Take the Dyson Airwrap, which, although newly launched, has generated such a buzz for itself that the Complete version is already sold out in Singapore – in spite of its S$699 price tag.
You know that the Airwrap can curl hair using only blasts of warm air as if by magic, just like how Dyson’s popular bladeless fans look as if they are generating cool air by some similar sorcery.

What you might not know is that the UK brand, whose products sell in 75 countries, develops many of its products right here in Singapore, where it has had a presence since 2007.

On the manufacturing front, the tiny but immensely capable digital motors that power products such as the Airwrap and the Supersonic hair dryer are made here – each year, 13 million motors come off the production lines at the company’s facility at West Park.
In addition, there’s a new Dyson Singapore Technology Centre, which opened last year at Science Park and houses laboratories and offices where work is being done in fields such as thermodynamics, acoustics, robotics and mobile applications. The company currently employs 1,100 people in Singapore.

Many of these people, said Dyson’s vice president of Global Engineering & Operations Scott Maguire, start out as young graduates, and that’s deliberate on the part of the company, in which the global average age is just 26.
“Singapore has some of the best universities in the world,” he said. "[So] it’s very good for us because as a culture, we focus on young people coming in to invent technology…. That’s why we’re here – because we can get that talent.”
Tests are carried out in labs daily. (Photo: Dyson Singapore)
Added Maguire, who joined Dyson as a graduate 15 years ago, “We bring graduates in because not only do they have so much energy and really want to change products and solve problems for the world, they’ve got great ideas. They are not fettered by the failures of the past. They have very unconstrained thinking. And for a company like Dyson where we’re trying to reinvent technologies, and to steal markets and go into new categories, that’s incredibly important for us.”
One such person is senior Acoustics & Vibrations engineer Nicklaus Yu, 31, who joined the company upon graduating from the National University of Singapore in 2012 with a degree in mechanical engineering. He works in the acoustics lab to make sure that the sound emitted by the products is kept very low.

Much of his time is spent in a semi-anechoic chamber, which is built to minimise the reflection of sound. “If you were to stand in here with the doors closed and stay silent, you’d hear a very high frequency sound that is actually the air molecules bouncing around,” he said. "[Once,] we sat in this room for two hours listening to one of our fans, making sure it was completely quiet. After we came out of the chamber, we were thrown off balance a bit, because we had been in here for so long.”
Thanks to Yu’s work, the Supersonic hair dryer emits much less noise than a conventional hair dryer, for example.
“One of the exciting things about working on cutting-edge technology is that you’re probably one of the first few to experience a complex problem, so it’s like having a blank piece of paper, and you can invent your own experiments and equipment to try to figure out how you can solve it,” he said.

SINGAPORE: British technology firm Dyson announced late Tuesday night (Jan 22) that it will move its corporate head office to Singapore to "reflect the increasing importance of Asia" to its business.
In a press release, the privately owned company known for its bladeless fans and bagless vacuum cleaners said: "An increasing majority of Dyson's customers and all of our manufacturing operations are now in Asia; this shift has been occurring for some time and will quicken as Dyson brings its electric vehicle to market.
"As a result, an increasing proportion of Dyson's executive team is going to be based in Singapore; positioning them to make the right decisions for Dyson in a quick and efficient way."

Dyson, which broke through the £1 billion (US$1.3 billion) barrier for annual profit in 2018, also announced investment plans, including the expansion of the Singapore Technology Centre to double its current size, as well as the Malaysia Design Centre's fifth phase of development.
It reported earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of £1.1 billion (US$1.42 billion) in 2018 on turnover up 28 per cent to £4.4 billion.

According to The Guardian, James Dyson, the 71-year-old billionaire who owns 100 per cent of the company he founded in the 1970s, will "continue to divide his time between Singapore and the UK as the business requires it".

Much of Dyson's product development will remain in southwest England.
A prototype Dyson electric vehicle is in the works for 2020, followed by a product launch in 2021.
With 5,853 engineers and scientists working on its new electric car and other products, the company added that it was still expanding its research and engineering operation in Britain.
There will be construction of new laboratories in the United Kingdom, to cater for the growth of Dyson's energy storage research and robotics programme.
Malmesbury, the location of its original headquarters, as well as Hullavington, London and Bristol, will "continue to be core creative and engineering parts of Dyson", it added.

NOT DRIVEN BY BREXIT
The company said the move from Britain was not driven by Brexit or any tax implications. It already manufacturers products in Asia and will build its new electric car in Singapore.
James Dyson came out in favour of Brexit, days before the 2016 vote, when he said Britain could be about £18.5 billion better off each year if it left the European Union.
But with only weeks before Brexit, other manufacturers are warning of huge damage if no divorce deal is struck.
Chief executive Jim Rowan said the group was seeing the biggest demand for its products like air purifiers and hairdryers as well as cleaners in Asia.
Rowan did not foresee see any issues relating to the movement of goods for Dyson.
"If your supply chain is in Asia, and you are manufacturing in the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia, then obviously you don't get badly affected with those changes post-Brexit," he said.
"Our growth rate in Asia has doubled most other places in the world over recent years," he said, adding that more than half of its profit came from the region and the move was aimed at "future proofing" Dyson.
"It allows us to make sure we will be putting our best efforts to secure those opportunities, as well as keeping an eye on those investments, especially EV (electric vehicles) and batteries," he said.
There would be a "negligible difference" to Dyson's tax payments, said Rowan, who is already based in Singapore, where the corporate tax rate is 17 per cent. It is 19 per cent in Britain, but is set to fall to 18 per cent in 2020.
Rowan will be joined by other senior executives, including the company's chief financial officer Jorn Jensen, once the paperwork to re-register is complete.Among them is Roland Krueger, who has been president of the Infiniti Motor Company and senior vice-president of Nissan Motor since January 2015.
Krueger will join Dyson in April to "oversee all aspects of the automotive project as it approaches launch", the company revealed.
"It proves how serious we really are about taking this project, and indeed this division and this category, to the next level," Rowan said.
"We expect to be able to go in and disrupt yet another industry using bespoke Dyson technology and innovation."
Singapore's Economic Development Board (EDB) noted that the country and Dyson have had a "strong partnership" for more than 10 years.
"Over the past decade, Singapore’s manufacturing sector has been steadily transforming into one that competes based on the deep skills of our workforce, the use of advanced technologies such as robotics and automation and a strong ecosystem of suppliers locally and in the region," said EDB assistant managing director Kiren Kumar on Wednesday.
"We believe that Singapore’s advantages are a good fit with Dyson’s requirements. Singapore’s proximity to the markets in Asia will also enable the company to better capture the growth opportunities in the region."

SINGAPORE: James Dyson is now the richest person in the United Kingdom after his company registered record profit in 2018, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday (Jan 23).
The tech firm on Tuesday reported earnings of £1.1 billion (US$1.42 billion) last year, up from £801 million in 2017, boosted by demand for its new products which include hairdryers and air purifiers.
The results added about US$3 billion to his wealth, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, which ranks the world's 500 richest people.
The 71-year-old, who owns 100 per cent of the company, is now worth US$13.8 billion and ranked 83rd on the list, bypassing Jim Ratcliffe, who owns the Ineos chemicals group, and the seventh Duke of Westminster Hugh Grosvenor.
Dyson, which raked in more than £4.4 billion in turnover last year, also announced that it is moving its corporate headquarter to Singapore to cater to its growing Asian customer base.

More than half of its profit comes from the region, and Bloomberg reported that its products were among Alibaba's top-selling products during the annual Singles' Day sale.

They want singapore because it has free trade agreement with basically everyone, so the cars can be exported to say, china, india, EU, US etc tax free.
Maybe they will print, designed in UK instead. Its branding.
Dyson has been manufacturing in mudland for years...maybe they will just transfer the stock into singkieland than export it out through singkieland so it becomes made in singkieland product,,
He promoted Brexit. Now, two months from the exit, he run to SINKapore. So much for his patriotism to his country.
