Philips Fabrikk Norsk

Philips Fabrikk Norsk was a lightbulb manufacturing company in Oslo, later Arendal, Norway.

It was established in 1936 by Jo Polak, a Dutch immigrant who in 1923 had founded Norsk Philips, the Norwegian branch of Philips. The factory produced incandescent light bulbs for the corporation.[1][2] The production facility was at Brenneriveien 9 near Akerselva until 1948, when it was moved to Arendal. It was later closed,[3] around 1983.[4]
