In 1951, Philips started in Singapore as a trading firm with a staff of four that imported and sold lighting products, radios and gramophones. With this humble beginning, Philips introduced Singapore to its world. A strong global brand with a solid reputation in Europe and the USA, the Philips name was a big draw for potential customers and the company expanded steadily.
A pioneer investor in Singapore, Philips has grown in tandem with the nation’s economic development over the last six decades, guided by its philosophy of partnership, and a passion to improve the quality of people’s lives through timely innovations. In addition to creating jobs and contributing with investments, Philips has also helped to build Singapore’s infrastructure and technology base. Today, Singapore is the regional headquarters and competence centers for Philips’ three sectors – Lighting, Healthcare and Consumer Lifestyle. The company also undertakes various global product development, training and production activities in Singapore.
