Founded in 1891; present in Spain since 1926 (Lámparas Philips, S.A.E.)
Philips was founded in 1891 by Gerard Philips and his father Frederik in Eindhoven (Netherlands) as a manufacturer of carbon-filament light bulbs. It was established in Spain on 25 March 1926 under the trading name Lámparas Philips, S.A.E., operating initially as an importer and distributor of lighting products. Over the 20th century it extended its range to radios, televisions, household appliances and electric shavers (Philishave, launched in the 1930s), becoming one of the most recognisable brands in Spanish homes. In 1965 it ran one of the most popular advertisements on Spanish television and radio of the time, hiring the actress and singer Carmen Sevilla as the face of the campaign.
