Philips Shaver

Philips shavers are among the most recognized personal grooming products globally. The brand originated in the Netherlands, where the first 'Philishave' rotary electric shaver was introduced in 1939. This innovation revolutionized male grooming by offering a portable and convenient alternative to traditional wet shaving.

Manufacturing for Philips shavers is distributed across several key global locations. High-end models, such as the Series 9000, are often still engineered and manufactured in the Netherlands (specifically Drachten), while entry-level and mid-range models are typically produced in specialized facilities in China and Indonesia to serve international markets.

Today, the shavers are owned by Philips (Koninklijke Philips N.V.), a company that has strategically shifted its focus from consumer electronics to becoming a leader in health technology. Despite selling off various other divisions like domestic appliances and televisions, Philips has retained its Personal Health portfolio, ensuring that its shaving and grooming products remain under the core Dutch umbrella.
