Most people don't realize that the Dirt Devil vacuums are made by a company called TTI Floor Care North
America, originally known as Royal vacuum cleaners. We just know it as Dirt Devil.
The Royal Vacuum Company has had a convoluted past and actually started in 1905 as the P.A. Geier
Company. They are among the oldest vacuum manufacturers in this country.
The very first hand-held vac was introduced in 1937 and was called the Royal Prince. Geir's company was
sold in 1953 to an investment group that changed the name to Royal Appliance Manufacturing. It changed
hands again in 1954 and again in 1981.
The new group of investors brought a fresh approach to sales and marketing efforts and was able to
increase the company's sales volume substantially. They decided to mass market their product line through
retail stores like Wal-Mart and KMart.
The Dirt Devil Hand Vac
The Dirt Devil was an enormous hit when it came on the market in 1984. It was so important to the
company that it has been their signature product ever since. It is the top selling hand-held vacuum in the
U.S. with over 23 million sold since they came on the scene.
The Dirt Devil created its own brand line of products. It's a recognizable brand that continuously
maintains a 98% brand name awareness in the hand held vacuum market. They are now sold throughout the
world. The Dirt Devil vacuum cleaners continue to be marketed through major retailers in USA.
The company that manufactures the Dirt Devil is now called TTI Floor Care North America. The Dirt Devil
brand has become a household name over the years since the vacuum was brought into the marketplace.
It continues to thrive as an excellent manufacturer of small, lightweight vacuuming products that are
backed by excellent warranties. Anyone interested in purchasing a Dirt Devil product can be confident that
they will be purchasing a quality item.
