PhilipsRoyal Philips (NYSE: PHG; AEX: PHIA) 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.
