Philips 3000 Series Steam Iron DST3010/39

The Philips 3000 Series Steam Iron, specifically model DST3010/39, is part of a longstanding line of household appliances originally developed under the Dutch conglomerate Philips. While the Philips brand was founded in the Netherlands in 1891, the Domestic Appliances division underwent a significant shift in ownership. In 2021, the division was sold to Hillhouse Investment, a global private equity firm, and subsequently renamed Versuni.

Today, the manufacturing of these steam irons primarily takes place in China, where high-efficiency production lines manage the global supply. Despite the shift in corporate ownership and manufacturing location, the products continue to be marketed under the Philips brand through a licensing agreement, maintaining the technical specifications and design language established by the original company. This ensures that the global standards for quality and performance associated with the Philips name are upheld in markets across the United Kingdom and Europe.
