History

 

Cellon was first established in 1999, and later reestablished in 2002 when Cellon merged with the spin-off of Philips mobile phone European R&D center. This reestablishment allowed Cellon to leverage Philips’ strengths, and further develop our business and design capabilities. In 2007, after the company MBO, Cellon shifted from a design house business model, forward into the ODM business model that the company follows today.
