It was founded in 1962 as the Grammophon-Philips Group by Dutch corporation Philips and German corporation Siemens, to be a holding for their record companies, and was renamed "PolyGram" in 1972.

The company traced its origins through Deutsche Grammophon back to the inventor of the flat disc gramophone, Emil Berliner.
