Director of Strategy & Transformation
About Versuni
In 2021, Philips Domestic Appliances became an independent company and announced its new brand name, Versuni, in February, 2023. Versuni offers a fresh perspective on the word ‘universe’ with a focus on how our life at home unites us, no matter where we live. The company’s vision is to make life as simple and convenient as possible for consumers by developing products that make our houses truly feel like home.
Versuni is now fully owned by Hillhouse Capital, a private equity firm, but remains a licensee of Royal Philips. As such, they continue to use various well-known brand names in the market like the Airfryer, Espresso Machine with LatteGo, PerfectCare Steam Generator, Air Purifier or AquaTrio Cordless Vacuum. As a recently formed independent company with a new name and visual identity, Versuni is now undergoing a crucial scale-up phase to position itself as a key player in the global domestic appliance market.
The company is highly entrepreneurial and encourages employees to always stay curious and explore new ideas. Its products use some of the most innovative technology on the market and are recognized worldwide for their excellence within the industry. Looking ahead, Versuni will develop products using more sustainable materials that are easier to repair, refurbish, re/up-cycle, and help to reduce environmental waste.
