'''Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.''' (''Royal Philips Electronics [[Incorporation|Inc]].''), usually known as '''Philips''', ({{Euronext|PHIA}}, {{NYSE|PHG}}) is one of the largest [[electronics]] companies in the world, founded and headquartered in [[the Netherlands]]. In 2006, its sales were €26.976 [[1000000000 (number)|billion]]<ref name=2006r/> and it employed 125,500 people in more than 60 countries.<ref name=2006r/> Philips is organized in a number of sectors: Philips Consumer Lifestyle (formerly [[Philips Consumer Electronics]] and Philips [[Domestic Appliance]]s and [[Personal Care]]), Philips Lighting and Philips Healthcare (formerly Philips Medical Systems).
==History==
The company was founded in 1891 by [[Gerard Philips]], a maternal cousin of [[Karl Marx]], in [[Eindhoven]], [[the Netherlands]]. Its first products were [[light bulb]]s and other electro technical equipment. Its first [[factory]] remains as a museum. In the 1920s, the company started to manufacture other products, such as [[vacuum tubes]] (also known worldwide as 'valves'), In 1927 they acquired the British electronic valve manufacturers [[Mullard]] and in 1932 the German tube manufacturer [[Valvo]], both of which became subsidiaries. In 1939 they introduced their electric [[razor]], the ''[[Philishave]]'' (marketed in the USA using the [[Norelco]] brand name).
Also on March 11th, 1927 Philips went on the air with a station called PCJ now known as Radio Netherlands. It was broadcast to the Dutch East Indies. The host of the first broadcast was Eddy Startz and from 1927 until he retired in 1969 hosted a show called Happy Station. The only time the station went off air was when the Nazis invaded Holland. At the end of the war PCJ changed its name to Radio Netherlands and has been broadcasting to this day.
The company was also instrumental in the revival of the [[Stirling engine#Twentieth century revival|Stirling engine]].
===World War II===
[[Image:Philips old logo.svg|left|80px|Philips shield]]
On [[May 9]], [[1940]], the Philips directors were informed about the [[Germany|German]] [[Battle of the Netherlands|invasion]] of the [[Netherlands]] to take place on [[May 10]]. They decided to leave the country and flee 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 itself was moved to the [[Netherlands Antilles]] (just on paper) to keep it out of German hands.
It is also believed that Philips - both before and during the war - supplied enormous amounts of electric equipment to the German occupation forces, which has led some people to think that the company [[collaborationism|collaborated]] with the [[Nazism|Nazis]], like many other firms in their day. However, there is no evidence to suggest that Philips itself or its management ever sympathized with the Nazis or their ideologies. The only Philips family member who did not leave the country, [[Frits Philips]], saved the lives of 382 [[Jew]]s by indicating to the Nazis that they were indispensable for the production process at Philips<ref>[http://www.newscenter.philips.com/about/news/section-13674/article-14959.html About Philips - Royal Philips<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>. In 1996, he was awarded the [[Yad Vashem]] reward by the [[Israel]]i ambassador for his actions. There is little Philips could have done to prevent the Germans from abusing their production facilities and forcing their employees to perform slave labor during the occupation. The production facility in Eindhoven was the only Dutch industrial target that was deliberately bombed by the allied forces during the war.
===Postwar era===
After the war the company was moved back to the Netherlands, with their headquarters in Eindhoven. Many secret research facilities had been locked and successfully hidden from the invaders, which allowed the company to get up to speed again quickly after the war.
Philips introduced the [[compact audio cassette]] tape in 1963 and was wildly successful, though its attempt to set a standard for [[video cassette recorder]]s, the [[Video 2000|V2000]], was unsuccessful in the face of competition from the [[Betamax]] and especially [[VHS]] standards. It had introduced a video cassette recorder system in the early 1970s, the N1500 could record/play for about 30 minutes while the N1700 extended this to over 1 hour.
In 1982, Philips developed the [[Compact Disc]] in partnership with [[Sony]].
In 1991, the company's name was changed from N.V. Philips Gloeilampenfabrieken to Philips Electronics N.V. At the same time, North American Philips was formally dissolved, and a new corporate division was formed in the U.S. with the name Philips Electronics North America Corp.
In 1997 the decision was made to move the headquarters from [[Eindhoven]] to [[Amsterdam]], along with the corporate name change to Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V. The move was completed in 2001. Initially, the company was housed in the [[Rembrandt tower]], but in 2002 they moved again, this time to the [[Breitner tower]]. In a sense, the move to Amsterdam can be considered a return to the company's roots, because [[Gerard Philips]] lived in Amsterdam when he came up with the idea of building a [[light bulb]] [[factory]]. He also conducted his first experiments in the field of mass production of light bulbs there, together with Jan Reesse. Philips Lighting, Philips Research, Philips Semiconductors (spun off as [[NXP Semiconductors|NXP]] in September 2006) and Philips Design, are still based in Eindhoven. Philips Healthcare is headquartered in [[Andover, Massachusetts]], United States (since moving from [[Best]], Netherlands in 2002).
=== Sale of semiconductors ===
As a chip maker, Philips Semiconductors was among the [[Worldwide Top 20 Semiconductor Sales Leaders]].
In December 2005, Philips announced its intention to make the Semiconductor Division into a separate [[Juristic person|legal entity]]. This process of "disentanglement" was completed on [[1 October]][[2006]].
On [[2 August]] [[2006]], Philips completed an agreement to sell a controlling 80.1% stake in Philips Semiconductors to a consortium of [[private equity]] investors consisting of [[Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.]] (KKR), [[Silver Lake Partners]] and [[AlpInvest Partners]]. The sale completed a process, which began December 2005, with its decision to create a separate legal entity for Semiconductors and to pursue all strategic options. Six weeks before, ahead of its online dialogue, through a letter to 8,000 of Philips managers, it was announced that they were speeding up the transformation of Semiconductors into a stand-alone entity with majority ownership by a third party. It was stated then that "this is much more than just a transaction: it is probably the most significant milestone on a long journey of change for Philips and the beginning of a new chapter for everyone – especially those involved with Semiconductors".
In its more than 115 year history, this counts as a big step that is definitely changing the profile of the company. Philips was one of few companies that successfully made the transition from the electrical world of the 19th century into the electronic age, starting its semiconductor activity in 1953 and building it into a global top 10 player in its industry. As such, Semiconductors was at the heart of many innovations in Philips over the past 50 years.
Agreeing to start a process that would ultimately lead to the decision to sell the Semiconductor Division therefore was one of the toughest decisions that the Board of Management ever had to make.
On [[21 August]] [[2006]], [[Bain Capital]] and [[Apax Partners]] announced that they had signed definitive commitments to join the expanded consortium headed by KKR that is to acquire the controlling stake in the Semiconductors Division.
On [[1 September]] [[2006]], it was announced in [[Berlin]] that the name of the new semiconductor company founded by Philips is [[NXP Semiconductors]].
Coinciding with the sale of the Semiconductor Division, Philips also announced that they would drop the word 'Electronics' from the company name, thus becoming simply '''Koninklijke Philips N.V.''' (Royal Philips N.V.).
==Corporate affairs==
In 2004, Philips abandoned the slogan "Let's make things better" in favour of a new one: "Sense and Simplicity".
[[ASML Holding|ASM Lithography]] is a [[spin-off]] from a division of Philips.
[[Origin]] now part of [[atosorigin]] is a former division of Philips.
Its record division, [[Polygram]], was sold to [[Seagram]] in 1998 to form [[Universal Music Group]].

===Sports, sponsorships and naming rights===
Traditionally Philips has a vested interest in sports, originally as a means to provide a healthy form of recreation for its employees. In 1913, in celebration of the Centenary of Dutch independence from France, Philips founded a sports club called ''Philips Sport Vereniging'' (Philips Sports Club), or [[PSV Eindhoven|PSV]], as it is now known. The sports club
encompasses all kinds of sports, but is currently most famous for its Premier League football team and its swimming team. Philips owns the naming rights to [[Philips Stadion]], located in [[Eindhoven]], which is home to Dutch football team [[PSV Eindhoven]].
Abroad, Philips sponsors and has sponsored numerous sport clubs, sport facilities, and events. Since the [[Football World Cup 1978]], held in in Argentina, Philips has been an official sponsor of the [[FIFA World Cup]]<ref>http://www.fifa.com/es/marketing/partners/index/0,3517,8,00.html FIFA.com<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>.
Furthermore, Philips owns the [[naming rights]] to the [[Philips Arena]] in [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]] and to the ''Philips Championship'', the premier [[basketball]] league in [[Australia]], traditionally known as the [[National Basketball League (Australia)|National Basketball League]]. Between 1988 and 1993 Philips were also the major sponsors of The Balmain Tigers, an Australian rugby league team.
Outside of sports Philips sponsors the ''Philips Monsters of Rock festival'', held in many countries all over the world.
==Worldwide presence==
Philips also used to sell major household appliances (whitegoods) under the name '''Philips'''. After selling the Major Domestic Appliances division to [[Whirlpool Corporation]] it changed via '''Philips Whirlpool''' and '''Whirlpool Philips''' to ''' Whirlpool''' only. Whirlpool bought a 53% stake in Philips' major appliance operations to form Whirlpool International. Whirlpool bought Philips' remaining interest in Whirlpool International in 1991.
