About us

Our philosophy remains the same as it was 27 years ago when James Dyson invented the first cyclonic vacuum cleaner. We remain family-owned. We don’t bow to outside shareholders or report to the stock exchange. Instead, we plot our path, unshackled from conventional thinking. At Dyson, we constantly strive to find more pioneering ways to solve everyday problems.
