Philips

Royal Philips is a Dutch health technology company. In consumer products, its own Personal Health businesses include oral care, male grooming and beauty. Many other products bearing the Philips name are made or sold by separate companies under trademark licences. This entry covers the Personal Health categories rather than every product carrying the brand.

Personal Health products

Royal Philips describes oral healthcare and personal care as parts of its own Personal Health business. Examples include electric toothbrushes, shavers and beauty devices. These categories remain attached to this company profile.

Licensed televisions and audio

Philips televisions and consumer audio are operated by TP Vision under a brand licence. TP Vision has its own company structure and is owned by TPV Technology. The Philips name on a television or headphones does not mean Royal Philips itself made the product.

Licensed household appliances

Philips branded kitchen and floor care appliances are operated by Versuni, formerly Philips Domestic Appliances. The business was sold to Hillhouse Capital and continues to use the Philips name through a licence. The operator should be identified when comparing these appliances.

Other categories

Philips projectors have a separate licensee, Screeneo Innovation. For products such as batteries, the responsible operator should be checked on the specific model documentation. The directory no longer assigns licensed categories to this Royal Philips entry without distinguishing the operating company.
