A lot was destroyed. Everything had to be rebuild and therefor the centre is a rather new one. Modern buildings are arising more and more, giving Eindhoven the image of a real big city. This slogan says everything about Eindhoven. It is the technical center of Holland.
Many industries cover mechatronics, automotive and electronics.
Philips of course is the main one. Old Philips factories near the centre of Eindhoven. Some of the old Philips factories have been replaced and the old buildings are used for different uses. In this old factory the public library of Eindhoven is located. Besides Philips we have the DAF factory.
