'''Koninklijke Philips [[Naamloze vennootschap|N.V.]]''' ({{literally|Royal Philips}}), simply branded '''Philips''', is a Dutch multinational health technology and former consumer electronics company that was founded in [[Eindhoven]] in 1891. Since 1997, its world headquarters have been situated in [[Amsterdam]], though the [[Benelux]] headquarters is still in Eindhoven. The company gained its [[Koninklijk|royal honorary title]] in 1998.

Philips was founded by [[Gerard Philips]] and his father Frederik, with their first products being [[Electric light|light bulbs]]. Through the 20th century, it grew into one of the world's largest electronics [[Conglomerate (company)|conglomerates]], with global market dominance in products ranging from [[Home appliance|kitchen appliances]] and [[electric shaver]]s to [[Electric light|light bulbs]], [[Television set|televisions]], [[Cassette tape|cassettes]], and [[compact disc]]s (both of which were invented by Philips). At one point, it played a dominant role in the entertainment industry (through [[PolyGram]]). However in the 2010s the company began downsizing, selling its TV manufacturing (becoming [[TP Vision]]), lighting (becoming [[Signify N.V.|Signify]]), and [[home appliance]] units (becoming [[Versuni]]), eventually becoming a healthcare-focused company.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Transforming an electronics group |url=https://www.ft.com/content/5c49f71b-328c-492c-b660-601a516482a5 |access-date=2024-10-15 |newspaper=Financial Times|date=13 September 2020 |last1=Pooler |first1=Michael }}</ref>

As of 2024, Philips is organized into three main divisions: Diagnosis and Treatment (manufacturing healthcare products such as [[Magnetic resonance imaging|MRI]], [[CT scan|CT]] and [[Medical ultrasound|ultrasound]] scanners), Connected Care (manufacturing [[Monitoring (medicine)|patient monitors]], as well as respiratory care products under the [[Respironics]] brand), and Personal Health (manufacturing [[Philishave|electric shavers]], [[Sonicare]] electric toothbrushes and [[Philips Avent|Avent]] childcare products).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Philips Download Centre - Annual Report 2023 |url=https://www.results.philips.com/downloadcenter |website=Philips|date=29 April 2025 }}</ref>

==History==
{{see also|Philips (family)}}
[[File:Gerard philips.jpg|thumb|left|150px|[[Gerard Philips]] (1858–1942), founder]]
The Philips Company was founded in 1891, by [[Dutch people|Dutch]] entrepreneur [[Gerard Philips]] and his father Frederik Philips. Frederik, a banker based in [[Zaltbommel]], financed the purchase and setup of an empty factory building in Eindhoven, where the company started the production of carbon-filament lamps and other electro-technical products in 1892. This first factory has since been adapted and is used as a museum.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.philips-museum.com/uk/|title=Philips Museum|website=Philips-museum.com|access-date=30 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161021024613/http://www.philips-museum.com/uk/|archive-date=21 October 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[File:Philipsfabriekje.jpg|thumb|The first Philips factory in [[Eindhoven]], now a public museum, July 2008]]
In 1895, after a difficult first few years and near-bankruptcy, the Philipses brought in [[Anton Philips|Anton]], Gerard's younger brother by sixteen years. Though he had earned a degree in engineering, Anton started work as a sales representative; soon, however, he began to contribute many important business ideas. With Anton's arrival, the family business began to expand rapidly, resulting in the founding of Philips Metaalgloeilampfabriek N.V. (Philips Metal Filament Lamp Factory Ltd.) in Eindhoven in 1908, followed in 1912 by the foundation of Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken N.V. (Philips Lightbulb Factories Ltd.). After Gerard and Anton Philips changed their family business by founding the Philips [[corporation]], they laid the foundations for the later [[Multinational corporation|multinational]] company.

In the 1920s, the company started to manufacture other products, such as [[vacuum tube]]s. For this purpose the [[Van Arkel–de Boer process]] was invented.

In 1924, Philips joined with German lamp trust [[Osram]] to form the [[Phoebus cartel]].<ref name="Time_23Jul1945_PhoebusCartel_p1"/>

=== Radio ===
[[File:Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken 1928.JPG|thumb|left|A share of the Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken, issued 14 December 1928]]
On 11 March 1927, Philips went on the air, inaugurating the shortwave radio station [[PCJJ]] (later PCJ) which was joined in 1929 by a sister station (Philips Omroep Holland-Indië, later PHI). PHOHI broadcast in Dutch to the [[Dutch East Indies]] (now [[Indonesia]]). Later{{When|date=March 2025|reason=Prove that this was “later” and if so, when?}} PHI broadcast in English and other languages to the Eastern hemisphere, while PCJJ broadcast in English, Spanish and German to the rest of the world.{{Citation needed|date=August 2022}}

The international program Sundays commenced in 1928, with host Eddie Startz hosting the ''[[Happy Station Show|Happy Station]]'' show, which became the world's longest-running shortwave program.{{Citation needed|date=March 2025}} 

[[File:Philips 930.jpg|thumb|150px|Philips "Chapel" radio model 930A, 1931|alt=Curved, triangular radio with brown wooden cabinet]]
In the early 1930s, Philips introduced the "Chapel", a radio with a built-in loudspeaker.

Broadcasts from the Netherlands were interrupted by the German invasion in May 1940. The Germans commandeered the transmitters in [[Huizen]] to use for pro-[[Nazi broadcasts]], some originating from Germany, others concerts from Dutch broadcasters under German control.

Philips Radio was absorbed shortly after [[Emancipation|liberation]] when its two shortwave stations were nationalized in 1947 and renamed [[Radio Netherlands Worldwide]], the Dutch International Service. Some PCJ programs, such as ''Happy Station'', continued on the new station.{{Citation needed|date=March 2025}}

===Stirling engine===
Philips was instrumental in the revival of the [[Stirling engine]] when, in the early 1930s, company management decided that offering a low-power portable generator would assist in expanding sales of its radios into parts of the world where electricity was unavailable or where there was an unreliable supply of batteries. Engineers at the company's research lab carried out a systematic comparison of various power sources and determined that the almost forgotten Stirling engine would be most suitable, citing its quiet operation (both audibly and in terms of radio interference) and ability to run on a variety of heat sources (common lamp oil&nbsp;– "cheap and available everywhere"&nbsp;– was favored).<ref>C.M. Hargreaves (1991). ''The Philips Stirling Engine''. [[Elsevier Science]]. {{ISBN|0-444-88463-7}}. pp.28–30.</ref> They were also aware that, unlike steam and internal combustion engines, virtually no serious development work had been carried out on the Stirling engine for many years. Philips asserted that modern materials and know-how would enable great improvements.<ref>''Philips Technical Review'' Vol.9 No.4, page 97 (1947)</ref>

Encouraged by their first experimental engine, which produced 16&nbsp;W of shaft power from a bore and stroke of {{nowrap|30 mm × 25 mm}},<ref>C.M. Hargreaves (1991), Fig. 3</ref> various development models were produced in a program which continued throughout [[World War II]]. By the late 1940s, the "Type 10" was ready to be handed over to Philips' subsidiary Johan de Witt in Dordrecht to be produced and incorporated into a generator set as originally planned. The result, rated at 180/200&nbsp;W electrical output from a bore and stroke of {{nowrap|55 mm × 27 mm}}, was designated MP1002CA (known as the "Bungalow set"). Production of an initial batch of 250 began in 1951, but it became clear that they could not be made at a competitive price, besides the advent of transistor radios with their much lower power requirements meant that the original rationale for the set was disappearing. Approximately 150 of these sets were eventually produced.<ref>C.M. Hargreaves (1991), p.61</ref>

In parallel with the generator set, Philips developed experimental Stirling engines for a wide variety of applications and continued to work in the field until the late 1970s, though the only commercial success was the "reversed Stirling engine" [[Applications of the Stirling engine#Stirling cryocoolers|cryocooler]]. The company filed a large number of patents and amassed a wealth of information, which they later licensed to other companies.<ref>C.M. Hargreaves (1991), p.77</ref>

===Shavers===
The first Philips shaver was introduced in 1939, and was simply called [[Philishave]]. In the US, it was called [[Philips Norelco|Norelco]]. The Philishave remains part of the Philips product line-up to the present.

===World War II===
On 9 May 1940, the Philips directors learned that the German [[German invasion of the Netherlands|invasion]] of the [[Netherlands]] was to take place the following day. Being prepared, [[Anton Philips]] and his son-in-law [[Frans Otten]], as well as other Philips family members, fled to the United States taking a large amount of the company capital with them. Operating from the US as the '''North American Philips Company''', they managed to run the company throughout the war. At the same time, the company was moved (on paper) to the [[Netherlands Antilles]] to keep it out of German hands.<ref>{{cite web|title=Philips Electronics NV {{!}} Dutch manufacturer|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Philips-Electronics-NV|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en|access-date=2 May 2018|archive-date=26 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201126171929/https://www.britannica.com/topic/Philips-Electronics-NV|url-status=live}}</ref>

On 6 December 1942, the British [[No. 2 Group RAF]] undertook [[Operation Oyster]], which heavily damaged the Philips Radio factory in Eindhoven with few casualties among the Dutch workers and civilians.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/61/a3537461.shtml|title=BBC – WW2 People's War – Operation Oyster, Part 1|website=Bbc.co.uk|access-date=30 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170212204359/http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/61/a3537461.shtml|archive-date=12 February 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> The Philips location in Eindhoven was bombed again by the RAF on 30 March 1943.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eDoRBQAAQBAJ&q=philips+++eindhoven+++bombed+++march+++1943&pg=PA140|title=The Bomber Command War Diaries: An Operational Reference Book|first1=Chris|last1=Everitt|first2=Martin|last2=Middlebrook|date=2 April 2014|publisher=Pen and Sword|access-date=30 December 2016|via=Google Books|isbn=9781473834880|archive-date=8 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210108141454/https://books.google.com/books?id=eDoRBQAAQBAJ&q=philips+++eindhoven+++bombed+++march+++1943&pg=PA140|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wehrmacht-history.com/timeline/1943/30th-march-1943-wwii-timeline.htm|title=30th March 1943 WWII Timeline|first=Mr A I|last=Bruce|website=Wehrmacht-history.com|access-date=30 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170212105810/http://www.wehrmacht-history.com/timeline/1943/30th-march-1943-wwii-timeline.htm|archive-date=12 February 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[Frits Philips]], the son of Anton, was the only Philips family member to stay in the Netherlands. He saved the lives of 382 Jews by convincing the Nazis that they were indispensable for the production process at Philips.<ref>{{cite news|title=Frits Philips celebrates 100th birthday|date=15 April 2005|access-date=10 January 2015|website=Philips|url=http://www.newscenter.philips.com/main/standard/about/news/news/archive/news2005/article-14959.wpd|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120906042020/http://www.newscenter.philips.com/main/standard/about/news/news/archive/news2005/article-14959.wpd|archive-date=6 September 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 1943, he was held at the [[Herzogenbusch concentration camp|Vught]] internment camp for political prisoners for several months because a strike at his factory reduced production. For his actions in saving the hundreds of Jews, he was recognized by [[Yad Vashem]] in 1995 as a "[[Righteous Among the Nations]]".<ref>''The Encyclopedia of the [[Righteous Among the Nations]]: Rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust: The Netherlands'', Jerusalem: [[Yad Vashem]], 2004, pp. 596–597</ref>

=== Post-WWII growth ===
After the war, the company was moved back to the Netherlands, with their headquarters in [[Eindhoven]].

[[File:Eindhoven Evoluon 03.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Evoluon]] in Eindhoven, opened in 1966, August 2015]]
In 1949, the company began selling [[television set]]s.<ref name=waarom>{{cite news|title=Waarom stopt Philips met zelf televisies maken?|url=http://www.volkskrant.nl/vk/nl/2680/Economie/article/detail/1876925/2011/04/18/Waarom-stopt-Philips-met-zelf-televisies-maken.dhtml|access-date=18 April 2011|newspaper=[[de Volkskrant]]|date=18 April 2011|archive-date=28 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728065743/https://myprivacy.dpgmedia.net/?siteKey=PUBX2BuuZfEPJ6vF&callbackUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.volkskrant.nl%2Fprivacy-wall%2Faccept%3FredirectUri%3D%2Fvk%2Fnl%2F2680%2FEconomie%2Farticle%2Fdetail%2F1876925%2F2011%2F04%2F18%2FWaarom-stopt-Philips-met-zelf-televisies-maken.dhtml|url-status=live |language=nl}}</ref> In 1950, it formed [[Philips Records]], which eventually formed part of [[PolyGram]] in 1962. Philips introduced the [[cassette tape|compact cassette]] audio tape format in 1963, and it was wildly successful. Cassettes were initially used for [[dictation machine]]s for office typing [[shorthand|steno]]graphers and by professional journalists. As their sound quality improved, cassettes would also be used to record sound, and became the second mass media alongside [[vinyl records]] used to sell recorded music.

[[File:PHILIPS D6350.jpg|thumb|right|An early portable compact cassette recorder by Philips (model D6350)]]
Philips introduced the first combination [[Radio receiver|portable radio]] and cassette recorder, which was marketed as the "radio recorder", now better known as the [[boombox]].{{When|date=March 2025|reason=Important to describe the growth and to indicate how rapidly or slowly growth occurred}} Later, the cassette was used in telephone [[answering machine]]s, including a special form of cassette where the tape was wound on an endless loop. The C-cassette was used as the first [[Mass storage|mass storage device]] for early personal computers in the 1970s and 1980s. Philips reduced the cassette size for professional needs with the [[Mini-Cassette|mini-cassette]], although it was not as successful as the [[Olympus Corporation|Olympus]] [[microcassette]].{{Clarify|reason=Provide a comparison in concrete numbers or else restate based upon a properly cited reference.|date=March 2025}} The mini-cassette became the predominant dictation medium up to the advent of fully [[Dictation machine|digital dictation]] machines.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}} Philips continued manufacturing computer products through the early 1990s as [[Philips Computers]].

In 1972, Philips launched the world's first home [[videocassette recorder]], in the UK, the N1500.{{Citation needed|date=March 2025}} Its relatively bulky{{Vague|reason=“Relatively bulky” compared to what? Can you instead provide actual dimensions?|date=March 2025}} video cassettes could record 30 minutes or 45 minutes. Later one-hour tapes were also offered. As the competition came from [[Sony]]'s [[Betamax]] and the [[VHS]] group of manufacturers, Philips introduced the N1700 system which allowed double-length recording. For the first time, a 2-hour movie could fit onto one video cassette. In 1977, the company unveiled a special promotional film for this system in the UK, featuring comedy writer and presenter [[Denis Norden]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/105150|title=BFI – Film & TV Database – The Philips Time Machine (1977)|work=The [[British Film Institute]] Web Database|access-date=16 February 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090919185932/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/105150|archive-date=19 September 2009|url-status=dead}}</ref> The concept was quickly copied by the Japanese makers, whose tapes were significantly cheaper. Philips made one last attempt at a new standard for video recorders with the [[Video 2000]] system, with tapes that could be used on both sides and had 8 hours of total recording time. As Philips only sold its systems on the PAL standard and in Europe, and the Japanese makers sold globally, the scale advantages of the Japanese proved insurmountable and Philips withdrew the V2000 system and joined the VHS Coalition.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Philips Video 2000 – Virtual tour of Museum of Failure |url=https://collection.museumoffailure.com/philips-video-2000/ |access-date=30 May 2024 |language=en-US |archive-date=30 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240530121244/https://collection.museumoffailure.com/philips-video-2000/ |url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[File:Philips CD-100.JPG|thumb|right|Philips CD-100, the second ever commercially released CD player (after partner Sony's [[Sony CDP-101|CDP-101]])]]
Philips had developed a [[LaserDisc]] early on for selling movies, but delayed its commercial launch for fear of cannibalizing its video recorder sales. Later Philips joined with [[MCA Inc.|MCA]] to launch the first commercial LaserDisc standard and players. In 1982, Philips teamed with Sony to launch the [[compact disc]]; this format evolved into the [[CD-R]], [[CD-RW]], [[DVD]] and later [[Blu-ray]], which Philips launched with Sony in 1997<ref>{{Cite magazine|title=Compact Disc is 25 Years Old|language=en-US|magazine=Wired|url=https://www.wired.com/2007/08/compact-disk-is/|access-date=21 September 2021|issn=1059-1028|archive-date=1 October 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221001052203/https://www.wired.com/2007/08/compact-disk-is/|url-status=live}}</ref> and 2006 respectively.

In 1984, the Dutch Philips Group bought out nearly a one-third share and took over the management of the German company [[Grundig]]. Also in 1984, Philips split off its activities on the field of [[Photolithography|photolithographic]] integrated circuit production equipment, the so-called wafer steppers, into a joint venture with [[ASM International]], located in [[Veldhoven]] under the name [[ASML Holding|ASML]]. Over the years, this new company has evolved into the world's leading manufacturer of chip production machines at the expense of competitors like [[Nikon]] and [[Canon Inc.|Canon]]. 

=== 1980s–2000s: Decline ===
Philips partnered with Sony again later to develop a new "interactive" disc format called [[CD-i]], described by them as a "new way of interacting with a television set".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.org/details/ACE_Issue_33_1990-06_Future_Publishing_GB|title=ACE – Issue 33 (1990-06)(Future Publishing)(GB)|date=10 June 1990|via=Internet Archive}}</ref> Philips created the majority of CD-i compatible players.

In the 1980s, Philips's [[profit margin]] dropped below 1 percent, and in 1990 the company lost more than US$2 billion (biggest corporate loss in Dutch history).

[[File:PhilipsMarkham.jpg|thumb|Philips headquarters in Markham, February 2020]]
Philips Canada was founded in 1941 when it acquired Small Electric Motors Limited. It is well known in medical systems for diagnosis and therapy, lighting technologies, shavers, and consumer electronics. The Canadian headquarters are located in [[Markham, Ontario]].

For several years, Philips manufactured lighting products in two Canadian factories. The [[London, Ontario]], plant opened in 1971. It produced A19 lamps (including the "Royale" long life bulbs), [[Parabolic aluminized reflector light|PAR38]] lamps and T19 lamps (originally a [[Westinghouse Electric (1886)|Westinghouse]] lamp shape). Philips closed the factory in May 2003. The [[Trois-Rivières]], Quebec, plant was a Westinghouse facility which Philips continued to run it after buying Westinghouse's lamp division in 1983. Philips closed this factory a few years later, in the late 1980s.

Philips Healthcare is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and operates a health-tech hub in [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]] with over 1,000 jobs.

From the early 1940s, [[Philco]] was legally able to prevent Philips from using the name "Philips" on any products marketed in the United States, because the two names were judged to sound similar enough to cause consumer confusion and potentially lead to claims of trademark infringement.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IVCCUSyJzNgC |title=Corporate Mergers Transitioning the American Economy: Corporate Buyouts and a Junk Bond Market Out of Control |last=Reeves |first=Jayson |date=2012-10-01 |publisher=iUniverse |isbn=9781475937831 }}</ref> This was made official and legally binding on January 19, 1943, when the court ruled in favor of the plaintiff in the corresponding case of ''Philco Corporation v. Philips Mfg. Co.'', that allowed Philco to prevent Philips from using their name on their products sold in the US.<ref>[https://casetext.com/case/philco-corporation-v-phillips-mfg-co] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240622171144/https://casetext.com/case/philco-corporation-v-phillips-mfg-co|date=22 June 2024}}, Casetext.com listing for Philco Corporation v. Philips Mfg. Co.</ref> As a result, Philips instead used the name '''Norelco''', an acronym for "'''Nor'''th American Philips ['''el'''ectrical] '''Co'''mpany".  Philips continued to use that name for all their U.S. products until 1974, when Philips purchased The [[Magnavox]] Company.  Philips then relabeled their U.S. [[Philips Consumer Electronics|consumer electronics]] products as Magnavox, but retained the Norelco name for their other U.S. products.  When Philips bought Philco in 1981, Philips was able to freely use the Philips name for all of their U.S. products, but they chose to retain the Norelco name for personal care appliances, and the Magnavox name for economy-priced consumer electronics.

By mid-1980s, the company used different brand names for its products in the United States - Magnavox, Sylvania, Philco, Norelco and even Philips - holding 10% of the American color television market, 9% of the compact-disk player market and 9% of the video cassette recorder market, selling VCRs made by [[Matsushita]]. In December 1986, Philips took direct control of its United States units - the North American Philips Company and the Signetics Corporation, which had been legally owned by a trust set up during World War II that was controlled by Philips. Philips tightened its operations and centralized its planning functions to prevent being "picked off piecemeal by the Japanese".<ref>{{Cite news| title = Global push by Philips begins in U.S.| first1 = Peter | last1 = Maass| date = 16 March 1987| work = New York Times| access-date = 7 July 2025| url = https://www.nytimes.com/1987/03/16/business/global-push-by-philips-begins-in-us.html }}</ref>

In 2007, Philips entered into a definitive merger agreement with the [[Genlyte Group]], which provided the company with a leading position in the North American [[luminaire]]s (also known as "[[lighting fixture]]s"), controls and related products for a wide variety of applications, including [[solid state lighting]]. The company also acquired Respironics, which was a significant gain for its healthcare sector. On 21 February 2008, Philips completed the acquisition of Baltimore-based VISICU. VISICU was the creator of the [[eICU]] concept of the use of Telemedicine from a centralized facility to monitor and care for ICU patients.{{Citation needed|date=November 2025}}

===Former operations===
Philips subsidiary {{ill|Philips-Duphar|nl}} manufactured pharmaceuticals for human and veterinary use and products for crop protection. Duphar was sold to [[Solvay (company)|Solvay]] in 1990. Since then Solvay sold off all divisions to other companies (crop protection to UniRoyal, now [[Chemtura Corporation|Chemtura]], the veterinary division to Fort Dodge, a division of [[Wyeth]], and the pharmaceutical division to [[Abbott Laboratories]]).

[[PolyGram]], Philips' music television and movies division, was sold to [[Seagram]] in 1998 and merged into [[Universal Music Group]]. [[Philips Records]] continues to operate as record label of UMG, its name is licensed from its former parent. In 1980, Philips acquired [[Marantz]], a company renowned for high-end audio and video products, based at Kanagawa, Japan. In 2002, Marantz Japan merged with Denon to form D&M Holdings and Philips sold its remaining stake in D&M Holdings in 2008.

Origin, now part of [[Atos]] Origin, is a former division of Philips. [[ASML Holding|ASM Lithography]] is a spin-off from a division of Philips. [[Hollandse Signaalapparaten]] was a manufacturer of military electronics. The business was sold to [[Thomson-CSF]] in 1990 and is now Thales Nederland. [[NXP Semiconductors]], formerly known as Philips Semiconductors, was sold a consortium of private equity investors in 2006. On 6 August 2010, NXP completed its [[IPO]], with shares trading on [[Nasdaq|NASDAQ]].

Ignis,{{Citation needed|date=January 2023}} of [[Comerio]], in the [[province of Varese]], Italy, producing washing machines, dishwashers and microwave ovens, was one of the leading companies in the domestic appliance market, holding a 38% share in 1960. In 1970, 50% of the company's capital was taken over by Philips, which acquired full control in 1972. Ignis was in those years, after Zanussi, the second largest domestic appliance manufacturer, and in 1973 its factories numbered over 10,000 employees only in Italy. With the transfer of ownership to the Dutch multinational, the corporate name of the company was changed, which became "IRE SpA" (''Industrie Riunite Eurodomestici''). Thereafter Philips used to sell major household appliances ([[whitegoods]]) under the name Philips. After selling the Major Domestic Appliances division to [[Whirlpool Corporation]] it changed from '''Philips Whirlpool''' to '''Whirlpool Philips''' and finally to just '''Whirlpool'''. Whirlpool bought a 53% stake in Philips' major appliance operations to form Whirlpool International. Whirlpool bought Philips' remaining interest in Whirlpool International in 1991.

Philips Cryogenics was split off in 1990 to form the Stirling Cryogenics BV, Netherlands. This company is still active in the development and manufacturing of Stirling cryocoolers and cryogenic cooling systems. North American Philips distributed [[AKG (company)|AKG Acoustics]] products under the AKG of America, Philips Audio/Video, Norelco and AKG Acoustics Inc. branding until AKG set up its North American division in [[San Leandro, California]], in 1985.  (AKG's North American division has since moved to [[Northridge, California]].)

==Logo evolution==
The Philips logo with the stars and waves was designed by Dutch architect Louis Kalff (1897–1976), who said that the emblem had been created as a coincidence as he did not know how a radio system worked.<ref>[https://www.20thdesigns.com/louis-kalff-y-el-logotipo-de-philips/ Louis Kalff, y el logotipo de Philips] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211027151421/https://www.20thdesigns.com/louis-kalff-y-el-logotipo-de-philips/ |date=27 October 2021}} by Jordi Noddings on 20th Designs website, 10 July 2019.</ref>

== Respironics recall ==
{{further|Respironics#Hazardous foam and product recall}}

In June 2021, Philips announced a voluntary recall of several of its Respironics ventilators, BiPAP, and CPAP machines due to potential health risks. Gradual degradation of foam in the devices, intended to reduce noise and vibrations during operation, could result in patients inhaling particulates or certain chemicals.<ref name="FDA-recall">{{cite web |title=UPDATE: Certain Philips Respironics Ventilators, BiPAP Machines, and CPAP Machines Recalled Due to Potential Health Risks: FDA Safety Communication |url=https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safety-communications/update-certain-philips-respironics-ventilators-bipap-machines-and-cpap-machines-recalled-due |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220519203053/https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/safety-communications/update-certain-philips-respironics-ventilators-bipap-machines-and-cpap-machines-recalled-due |url-status=dead |archive-date=19 May 2022 |website=US Food & Drug Administration |access-date=30 January 2024}}</ref> The recall involved around 3 to 4 million machines which, in addition to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], contributed to a supply chain crisis impeding the availability of these devices to patients.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Owens |first1=Robert L. |last2=Wilson |first2=Kevin C. |last3=Gurubhagavatula |first3=Indira |last4=Mehra |first4=Reena |date=15 October 2021 |title=Philips Respironics Recall of Positive Airway Pressure and Noninvasive Ventilation Devices: A Brief Statement to Inform Response Efforts and Identify Key Steps Forward |journal=American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine |language=en |volume=204 |issue=8 |pages=887–890 |doi=10.1164/rccm.202107-1666ED |issn=1073-449X |pmc=8534631 |pmid=34461022}}</ref> Originally, Philips described the risks as potentially "life-threatening" but that there had been no reports of death as a result of the issues.<ref>{{cite web |last=Mell |first=Rodney |title=URGENT: Medical Device Recall - Philips Respironics Trilogy 100, Trilogy 200, Garbin Plus, Aeris, LifeVent, BiPAP V30, and BiPAP A30/A40 Series Device Models |url=https://www.philips.com/c-dam/b2bhc/master/landing-pages/src/update/documents/philips-recall-letter-2021-05-a-2021-06-a.pdf |website=Philips |access-date=30 January 2024}}</ref> Since then, the [[FDA]] has received 385 reports of death allegedly caused by the foam issue.<ref name="FDA-recall" />

In 2023, [[ProPublica]] and the [[Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]] reported that Philips had received thousands of patient reports and returned machines affected by the degrading foam as far back as 2010, and many of these reports were not disclosed to the FDA as Philips was legally obligated to do.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last1=Cenziper |first1=Debbie |last2=Sallah |first2=Michael D. |last3=Korsh |first3=Michael |last4=Robinson-Johnson |first4=Evan |last5=Sager |first5=Monica |date=27 September 2023 |title=Philips Kept Complaints About Dangerous Breathing Machines Secret While Company Profits Soared |url=https://www.propublica.org/article/philips-kept-warnings-about-dangerous-cpaps-secret-profits-soared |access-date=6 November 2023 |website=ProPublica |language=en}}</ref>

In October 2022, dozens of lawsuits against Philips related to the safety concerns were consolidated into one class-action lawsuit.

===Greenpeace ranking===
In [[Greenpeace]]'s 2012 Guide to Greener Electronics that ranks electronics manufacturers on sustainability, [[climate and energy]] and how green their products are, Philips ranked 10th of 16 companies with a score of 3.8/10.<ref name="Greenpeace Guide">{{cite web |url=http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/toxics/electronics/how-the-companies-line-up/ |title=Guide to Greener Electronics |website=Greenpeace International |access-date=24 November 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121129032858/http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/toxics/electronics/how-the-companies-line-up/ |archive-date=29 November 2012 |url-status=live}}</ref> The company was the top scorer in the Energy section due to its energy advocacy work calling upon the EU to adopt a 30% reduction for [[greenhouse gas emissions]] by 2020. It was also praised for its new products which are free from [[Polyvinyl chloride|PVC]] plastic and [[Brominated flame retardant|BFRs]]. However, the guide criticized Philips' sourcing of [[Pulp and paper industry|fibres for paper]], arguing it must develop a paper procurement policy which excludes suppliers involved in [[deforestation]] and [[illegal logging]].<ref name="Greenpeace Guide" />

Philips has made progress since 2007 (when it was first ranked in the guide started in 2006), in particular by supporting the Individual Producer Responsibility principle meaning that the company is accepting the responsibility for the toxic impacts of its products on e-waste dumps around the world.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/toxics/electronics/Guide-to-Greener-Electronics/companies/Philips/|title=Philips Greenpeace International|website =Greenpeace International|access-date=7 January 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101031133232/http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/campaigns/toxics/electronics/Guide-to-Greener-Electronics/companies/Philips/|archive-date=31 October 2010}}</ref>
