Dyson to Build P11 Billion High-tech Manufacturing Site in Batangas, Creating Hundreds of Engineering Jobs

Global tech brand Dyson is set to invest £166 million or around P11 billion in a new plant in Sto. Tomas, Batangas, to expand its operations in Asia and Europe. 

The facility, located in First Philippine Industrial Park, will be one of the country’s largest and most advanced technology manufacturing centers, spanning the equivalent of 92 basketball courts. 

The new plant will house Dyson’s research, development, and advanced motor manufacturing capabilities under one roof and is expected to be operational in the first half of 2024.

“The new campus in Sto. Tomas, Batangas, will be one of the largest investments and most advanced technology manufacturing centers in the country and underscores the growing importance of the Philippines in Dyson’s global ambitions,” Dyson said. 

The new campus will prioritize air quality, natural light, and greenery to support collaboration and generate new ideas. It will include leisure and sports areas, laboratories, and offices. 

“The new state-of-the-art facilities are the most significant of their kind in the Philippines for Dyson,” it added. 

Dyson is looking to hire an additional 400 engineers and over 50 graduate engineers, with research and development teams focusing on software, AI, robotics, fluid dynamics, and hardware electronics.

Dyson has engineering, research, development, manufacturing, and testing operations in Singapore, the UK, Malaysia, Mexico, China, Poland, and the Philippines.
