Ams Osram sells non‑optical business to Infineon for €570m
Ams Osram has closed the sale of its non‑optical analogue/mixed-signal sensor business to Infineon for €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 (pictured above), 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.”
On 4 February 2026, 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 pure play leader in the digitalisation of light emission and optical sensing, combining advanced, pixelated emitters and sensors as well as electronics for higher integrated and differentiated products.
It says it is driving a set of mid-term growth opportunities supporting the new 2030 financial targets. The transaction, with the €570m 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.
