Premstaetten, Austria, and Munich, Germany (1 July 2026) – ams OSRAM closes the sale of its non-optical analog/mixed-signal sensor business to Infineon for EUR 570 million in cash.

“With the successful closing of this transaction, a decisive step in strengthening our balance sheet has been achieved, while continuing to sharpen our strategic focus to build the global leader in Digital Photonics,” said Aldo Kamper, CEO of ams OSRAM. “The divestment allows us to further concentrate our resources on our core business and on our growth opportunities. Moreover, we are convinced that Infineon provides an attractive home for the divested business and the transferring employees.”

Strengthening strategic focus on core photonics business

On 4 February ams OSRAM announced its strategic refocusing towards creating the Leader in Digital Photonics, outlining its ambition to emerge as a focused semiconductor photonics powerhouse and the pure-play leader in Digital Photonics. Digital Photonics means the digitalization of light emission and optical sensing, combining advanced, pixelated emitters and sensors as well as electronics for higher integrated and differentiated products, driving a set of mid-term growth opportunities supporting the new 2030 financial targets. The transaction, with the EUR 570 million cash consideration received at closing, is a further step in ams OSRAM’s broader portfolio refocusing towards core digital photonics growth vectors and supports its accelerated deleveraging plan.
