About Us

For over 130 years, we have been driven by a single, powerful purpose: to improve people’s health and well‑being through meaningful innovation. What began as a humble light‑bulb business in the Netherlands has evolved into a global health technology leader, yet our core belief remains unchanged. We believe there is always a way to make life better. Whether transforming the way you care for your smile, prepare a family meal, or simply start your morning, we put people at the heart of everything we create.

Our journey has been guided by the conviction that technology should serve human needs, not complicate them. From pioneering sonic toothbrush technology that sweeps away plaque with up to 62,000 brush movements per minute, to reimagining home cooking with airfryers that deliver crispy, delicious results with up to 70% less fat, we design every product to solve real problems and enrich daily life.

Today, our portfolio spans the moments that matter most. In personal grooming, we offer tools like OneBlade that adapt to how you want to express yourself, and electric shavers that capture hair from every direction for exceptional comfort. For women, our IPL devices provide an effective, gentle path to long‑lasting smoothness in the privacy of home. In oral healthcare, Sonicare toothbrushes use dynamic fluid action to propel caring microbubbles deep between teeth, offering a clean you can truly feel. Our kitchen appliances empower you to prepare healthy, homemade meals every day—with airfryers that fry, bake, grill, and roast using little to no oil, plus innovative pasta makers, soup makers, and multi‑cookers. For new parents, the trusted Avent range ensures feeding moments are warm, safe, and stress‑free, with bottle warmers and sterilizers designed to fit most baby bottles. And across every product category, we embed sustainability—from paper‑based packaging that reduces material volume to energy‑efficient engineering that minimizes environmental impact.

We are a technology company that cares deeply about people and the planet. Through meaningful innovation—rooted in rigorous research and a relentless focus on customer needs—we aim to touch 2.5 billion lives every year by 2030, including 400 million in underserved communities. This is not just a business target; it is a promise. Every patent filed, every award won, every design refined is a step toward a world where better health and well‑being are within everyone’s reach.

We invite you to discover how purposeful innovation can transform your everyday. Because when we design for people first, everyone lives better.
