Home Of Philips

Philips is one of the biggest and most successful electronic companies that gave us different tech gadgets like DVD players and earphones. Founded in 1891 by Frederik Philips and his son Gerard, Philips & Co was created in response to the new possibilities arising from the mass-market introduction of electricity.

And yes, they put up the company in The Netherlands. Gerard’s enthusiasm for science and engineering drove the father-son duo to develop the revolutionary concept of cost-effective, reliable electric incandescent light bulbs. By the 1900s, the company became one of the largest private employers in the industry, hiring more than 2,000 workers.
