Philips sells its one billionth electric male grooming product

Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal #philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced that it has sold its one billionth electric male grooming product – a broad portfolio of products that includes Philips’ shavers, beard trimmers, hair clippers and #oneblade, its revolutionary technology designed to trim, edge, and shave any length of hair. “Our success in male grooming started in the 1930s, when a young #philips engineer by the name of Alexandre Horowitz drew inspiration from Philips' bicycle dynamo technology and created a rotary system with three blades rotating beneath a round, slotted shaving head,” said Jack van Strien, business leader Personal Care at #philips. “Philips changed the face of electric male grooming, and we continue to do so by combining world-beating design, innovation and manufacturing to develop and produce innovations such as #oneblade.”
