Philips announced the opening of a representation in Yekaterinburg recently.

‘What we see as the key component of this representation’s business strategy is the development at the local level of all the three sectors our company comprises: Lighting Solutions, Healthcare, and Consumer Goods. This will allow us to create a very comfortable and inspiring working environment for our partners, distributors, and Philips customers in the area. In addition to building and improving on our ties with distributors and retail chains, Philips is also planning to develop the maintenance and after-sale services,’ the company reports.
