The Supervisory Board of ams-OSRAM AG has approved the reappointment of Chief Executive Officer Aldo Kamper, agreeing to a new contract effective October 1, 2026, and running through September 30, 2031. His previous term was set to expire on March 31, 2027. Kamper has been CEO of ams OSRAM since April 2023.
Dr. Margarete Haase, Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board of ams OSRAM, stated: “As CEO, Aldo Kamper has strategically realigned ams OSRAM and laid the foundation for sustainable growth. Under his leadership, key milestones have been achieved - from the successful implementation of the ‘Re-establish the Base’ efficiency program to the strengthening of the financial base and the clear positioning of ams OSRAM in the attractive digital photonics field. With the new contract extending through the end of September 2031, the Supervisory Board reaffirms its full confidence in Aldo Kamper and looks forward to continuing this exceptionally successful collaboration.”
Kamper expressed gratitude for the board’s trust and highlighted the team’s accomplishments. “Together, we have established the basis for the next growth phase as a focused technology company. I look forward to continuing along this path with determination and further developing ams OSRAM as the leading company in the fast-growing field of digital photonics,” he said.
Kamper began his career at OSRAM in Regensburg in 1994, holding various leadership positions in LED and specialty lighting in Europe and the United States. In 2010, he became CEO of the Opto Semiconductors business unit, where he pioneered microLED technology, dynamic front-end lighting, and high-performance LED roadmaps, while expanding global manufacturing. In 2018, he joined Leoni AG as CEO, a global provider for energy and data management in the automotive industry.
Since becoming CEO of ams-OSRAM AG in April 2023, Kamper launched the efficiency program “Re-establish the Base” to focus the portfolio and strengthen profitability. Under his leadership, the group streamlined structures, assigned clear responsibilities to business units, took measures to strengthen the financial base, and substantially reduced debt. The sale of the non-optical sensing business was successfully completed as of July 1, 2026, establishing a sound financial foundation for profitable growth in the optical core business and future areas of digital photonics, such as augmented reality and data communication.
This extension signals stability and continuity for ams OSRAM as it pursues growth in digital photonics. For the industry, the company’s focus on areas like augmented reality and data communication positions it to capitalize on emerging technologies that rely on advanced sensing and light solutions. The completion of the non-optical sensing sale also strengthens the company’s balance sheet, enabling investment in core optical technologies that are critical for applications in smart mobility, artificial intelligence, and robotics.
