In 1901, Frank Poor began a small company that renewed burned-out light bulbs by buying old bulbs, cutting off the glass tips, replacing the filaments, and resealing the bulb. By 1909, Poor and his brother were running Hygrade Incandescent Lamp Company selling new carbon-filament and tungsten filament light bulbs. In 1931 Hygrade merged with another company to form the Hygrade SYLVANIA Corporation. The company sold lamps under the Hygrade name, and radio tubes under the SYLVANIA name. In the 1940s and 1950s, the company witnessed enormous growth, as new plants were opened. In 1959, SYLVANIA merged with General Telephone and became known as General Telephone & Electronics and later, GTE. In the 1970s and 1980s, the division gradually moved out of consumer electronics. In recent decades, the company developed products with longer life, better light, and greater energy efficiency.

SYLVANIA is redefining the role of light in a connected world that crosses borders, geographies, and cultures, and links everyone together. They are advancing light by developing new technologies that offer unlimited potential in how light impacts their customers’ lives and how they control their environment.
