Royal Philips is a Dutch multinational conglomerate founded in 1891 by Gerard Philips and his father Frederik in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Originally a light bulb manufacturer, Philips grew to become one of the world's most recognized electronics and healthcare technology companies. Today, Philips focuses primarily on health technology, including diagnostic imaging systems, patient monitoring, image-guided therapy, and personal health products. The company's consumer product divisions, now partially spun off, include Philips Domestic Appliances and Philips Personal Health, offering shavers, oral care products like Sonicare toothbrushes, kitchen appliances, and air purifiers. Philips was instrumental in co-developing the compact disc, the CD-ROM, and the DVD format. The Philips Hue smart lighting system has become a market leader in connected home lighting. The company's legacy in electronics spans over 130 years, and it continues to innovate at the intersection of technology, healthcare, and consumer wellness with operations in over 100 countries.
