Philips has been originating and marketing ground-breaking technologies for over a hundred years. This brand has been leading the electronic world since its birth globally. Philips the world’s biggest electronic company was founded late in the year 1891 by its founder Gerard Philips. The company was established in Eindhoven, Netherlands, and manufactured incandescent lamps and other electrical products'. Gerard Philips founded this company to meet the growing demand for light bulbs following the commercialization of electricity.
After inventing and producing the incandescent lamp, and gas discharge lamps which were the need of that era and offered efficient results, Philips first research laboratory started introducing its first innovations in the x-ray and radio technology. In 1923, Philips decided to become a 'systems supplier' instead of a 'components company', and consequently the research organization broadened its scope into radio as well as television.
In the present day with the innovation of almost all products, Philips has mastered in revolutionary developments such as the introduction of the CD, the DVD and Blu-ray Disc. In the medical sphere the company made great strides forward in magnetic-resonance imaging and ultrasound and with our increasing focus on health and well-being, these developments are still ongoing: in 2006, we saw the first commercial launch of a 3D scanner. Today, Philips is at the leading brand name which has made a digital revolution, and has introduced world-class products that are helping to improve people's lives as we continue into the new millennium.
