The Valvo factory built in Aachen in 1953/54 supplied around 18.75 million black-and-white picture tubes and (from 1967) around 1.15 million color picture tubes by the end of March 1972. Since April 1972, Valvo in Aachen has only produced color picture tubes for the German and European market. The Valvo color picture tube plant in Aachen was the largest of the Philips companies and probably also the largest production facility of its kind in Europe.
