Inspired by the fast-growing electricity industry and the promising results of son Gerards own experiments to make reliable carbon filaments, in 1891 Frederik Philips financed the purchase of a modest factory in Eindhoven. Their plan? To bring cost-effective, reliable electric incandescent light bulbs to everyone who needed them. Over the years since then, we have continued to improve peoples lives with a steady flow of ground-breaking innovations.
