Signify Philips Lighting

Signify is a global leader in lighting, providing high-quality lighting products, systems, and services. The company was originally the lighting division of Philips (Royal Philips), a Dutch technology company with a heritage dating back to 1891. In 2016, the lighting division was spun off as a separate legal entity, and in 2018, it changed its name to Signify. Despite the name change, the company continues to use the iconic Philips brand for its portfolio of lamps and lighting products under a long-term licensing agreement.

Today, Signify operates as an independent, publicly-traded company headquartered in Eindhoven, Netherlands. Its manufacturing operations are spread across numerous countries globally, including China, Mexico, Poland, and Hungary, to serve regional and international markets. The brand focuses heavily on innovation through its Philips Hue smart lighting line and professional IoT lighting platforms.

As the ultimate owner of its proprietary brands like Hue and Interact, and the licensed user of the Philips name for lighting, Signify remains the largest lighting manufacturer in the world. It maintains a presence in over 70 countries and continues to lead the transition from conventional lighting to LED and connected lighting technologies.
