The first time a company wins both awards in the same year
Guildford, UK – Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG; AEX: PHIA) announced today that it has won Sleep Therapy Manufacturer and Sleep Diagnostic Manufacturer of the Year at the Association for Respiratory Technology and Physiology (ARTP) Awards 2017. This is the first time for a company to win both awards. Philips is proud to have won the Sleep Therapy Manufacturer of the Year award previously in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The prestigious awards were presented at the annual ARTP conference, this year held in Belfast. The ARTP has been presenting the awards to top suppliers for the past 10 years. The awards are presented to those who demonstrate excellence in the areas of equipment, sales, after sales and service based customer feedback in the annual Manufacturers Survey. The survey asked ARTP members across the UK to rate their suppliers on the quality of equipment - including reliability, ease of use and performance, the quality of the service team, and the quality of clinical and technical support.
“We are delighted to have been recognised as the leading Sleep Therapy Manufacturer and Sleep Diagnostic Manufacturer”, said Robin van Rozen Market Leader Personal Health Philips UK & Ireland. “Philips has 40 years’ experience in research and innovation in sleep and a history of creating innovative technologies clinically proven to improve adherence and the overall patient experience.
