Philips Lighting and
Buy American Compliance

Act (ARRA) contain provisions (“Buy American Provisions”) which restrict where goods or
supplies for public use or purchased with public funding can be made? Philips Lighting is
experienced with these provisions, can help you understand how these provisions impact
your purchasing decisions, and, with our extensive United States manufacturing operations,
can provide a wide range of products that are fully-compliant with these provisions.
