British technology firm Dyson has officially opened its new global headquarters at St James Power Station. First announced in 2019, this move aims to “reflect the increasing importance of Asia to Dyson’s business.”
The 110,000 sq ft refurbished St James Power Station site was designed to be a sustainable global headquarters. The technology company, famous for its vacuum cleaners and other home appliances, currently employs more than 1,400 people in Singapore, of which 560 are engineers and scientists.
Singapore was also chosen as the location for its advanced automotive manufacturing site due to Dyson’s existing footprint and team in Singapore, combined with the nation’s significant advanced manufacturing expertise.
