The company’s portfolio spans a broad range of products, including photonic semiconductors, light sensors, light sources and illumination modules, serving industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, industrial automation, medical and smart building applications.
Key offerings include miniaturized sensors for proximity, ambient light and color detection, high-performance LEDs and laser-based illumination systems, and LiDAR components for autonomous driving. These technologies enable next-generation features such as facial recognition in smartphones, adaptive automotive lighting, augmented reality devices and precision medical diagnostics. ams-OSRAM’s integrated system solutions facilitate streamlined development cycles for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and provide end users with enhanced energy efficiency and reliability.
The company emerged from the strategic combination of AMS AG, an Austrian sensor specialist founded in 1981, and OSRAM GmbH, a German lighting pioneer with roots dating back to 1919. Following AMS AG’s acquisition of OSRAM in 2020, the unified entity rebranded as ams-OSRAM in 2023 to reflect its expanded capabilities across sensing and illumination. This consolidation has strengthened its research and development capabilities, enabling a more holistic approach to photonic innovation.
Headquartered in Premstätten, Austria, ams-OSRAM maintains a global footprint with production facilities and R&D centers in Europe, Asia and North America. The company’s leadership team, led by CEO Alexander Everke, emphasizes collaboration with strategic partners and continuous investment in next-generation optical technologies. Through its global network, ams-OSRAM aims to drive advancements in connectivity, safety and sustainable lighting solutions across multiple end markets.
