Philips, early years
In 1891 Gerard Philips founded the company Philips & Co together with his father Frederik Philips. The company was not established in their hometown Zaltbommel, but in Eindhoven. An empty commercial building was available in this place. The first products were incandescent lamps, to which the First Incandescent Lamp Factory still bears witness. This is now a museum.

Originally Philips was a simple assembly factory for carbon filament lamps. Gerard Philips was particularly interested in research and laid the foundations for the Philips' Physics Laboratory (NatLab), whose successor, the High Tech Campus, is still located in Eindhoven.

With the arrival of Gerard's brother Anton Philips in 1895, the management of the company was supplemented by a businessman who was able to grow the company. In 1899 Anton became a partner of the company. In 1907 the NV Philips' Metaalmetaalbollenfabriek was founded in Eindhoven, followed in 1912 by the founding of the NV Philips' Gloeilampenfabrieken, of which Gerard and Anton Philips were the first directors.
