Which Dutch company is known for lighting up the Winter Palace of the Russian Tsars?

          The Tsar of Russia chose Philips to light up his palace as they produced reliable and cost-effective electric bulbs.

          In 1891, Frederik Philip decided to fund his son Gerard’s dream project to make quality light bulbs for everyone who needed them and thus, Philips was born. After twenty five years of production of carbon filament bulbs, Philips gained royal recognition after which they decided to branch out.

          The company was concerned about the well-being of people and soon got into the medical field, producing X-ray radiation equipment. Around the same time, they began producing radios. The work experience with radios helped them in the manufacture of television. Their product line diversified and started to include Philishave- the revolutionary electric shaver, CDs, DVDs, and so on.

          By the 1990s, Philips channelled their attention towards healthcare. They also produce a range of products like electric kettle, trimmers, and hair straighteners.
