As home automation reshapes how consumers manage their outdoor spaces, Aiper is anchoring its global operations in Singapore. Best known for its cordless robotic pool cleaners, the company has relocated its operational headquarters to the city-state as it ramps up international expansion and moves into smart yard technology.
From its new base, Aiper will coordinate global operations using a model that combines Singapore’s regulatory stability and infrastructure with scalable operations in neighboring markets. The company already manages a regional ecosystem in the Asia Pacific, covering supply chain, branding, and customer service.
The shift coincides with a significant funding milestone. Aiper has raised USD 100 million from Fluidra, a global pool and wellness equipment manufacturer. Announced at a signing ceremony in Singapore, the investment is Aiper’s largest to date and, according to the company, the biggest single deal in the robotic pool cleaner segment.
While Fluidra provides capital and international reach, Aiper stressed that it will continue to operate independently. The two companies plan to collaborate on technology, branding, and customer service, with the funding supporting the development of a broader smart backyard ecosystem. This includes pool cleaners, smart irrigation systems, and connected yard tools aimed at simplifying outdoor maintenance.
Aiper positions itself around automation and ease of use. Its messaging targets homeowners seeking efficient, low-maintenance products for pool and lawn care. The company reports that its devices are now available in more than 7,000 retail stores across 45 countries, with around two million users globally. Aiper’s design-led products have also received industry recognition through awards from 2023–2025.
At the signing event, founder and CEO Richard Wang described the partnership as a collaborative milestone in Aiper’s expansion. “We will continue to drive progress in product innovation, brand influence, and global service capabilities,” he said. “Our goal is to solve real-world cleaning challenges and empower customers to enjoy a truly smart, worry-free, and effortless outdoor living experience.”
The relocation of strategic functions to Singapore reflects more than a geographic shift. It appears intended to improve flexibility, reduce supply chain risks, and enable faster execution in the region. In a category where margins are tight and friction is high, operational agility is just as critical as product quality.
Aiper’s future growth will depend on its ability to convert its engineering and design strength into lasting customer relationships, especially as it enters high-potential but underpenetrated markets. But with funding secured, infrastructure in place, and a clear focus, Aiper seems ready to evolve beyond poolside convenience and rethink the possibilities of automated outdoor living at a global level.
