Question Re: What was Stella?

Does anyone know who Stella were and why they existed, rebadging these Philips chassis?

Just curious...
Long, long time ago, it was suggested to me that since Philips wanted to distribute thier products under a different name - as several members have said here - the name "Stella" was dreamed up by Philips marketing on the basis that the Philips logo features a star (you've all seen it, yeah ) So, star = stella . . .

Sounds highly plausible to me!
