Dyson Ltd is a British technology company, founded in 1993 by James Dyson, who designs and manufactures vacuum cleaners, hand dryers and other electronical devices. Dyson machines can be found in over 45 different countries and it has always been a global company. At first Dyson struggled to find someone who wanted to buy the design of the hover DC01, companies such as Hoover didn’t want to license the design, probably because the vacuum bag market was worth $500m, so the Dyson (DC01) was a threat to their profits. But in 1983 there was a breakthrough, a Japanese company named Apex licensed James design and built the G-Force, which appeared on the front cover of Design Magazine the same year. After making a good amount of profit of the G force using the income from the Japanese licence, James Dyson set up his now known Company Dyson and he also opened a research centre and factory in Wiltshire, England in June 1993. Which now is Home to fewer than 650 engineers, the Dyson Research Design and Development Centre in Wiltshire was designed by architect Chris Wilkinson. It was also engineered to reduce environmental impact which means there's no air conditioning, displacement ventilation is used to blow cool air in at floor level while warm air naturally rises and is dispersed through vents in the roof. Dysons first production of a dual cyclone vacuum cleaner featuring constant suction was the DC01, sold for £200. The DC01 became the biggest selling vacuum cleaner in the UK in just 18months. After the introduction of the cylinder machine many more improved models of the DC01 where in action this then led onto air-powered technologies such as, the Air Blade hand drier, the Air Multiplier bladeless fan and Dyson Hot, the bladeless fan heater.
