The Supervisory Board of ams-OSRAM AG has approved the reappointment of CEO Aldo Kamper with a new contract effective October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031, extending his tenure beyond the previous expiration of March 31, 2027. This decision underscores the board's endorsement of Kamper's strategic realignment of the company toward digital photonics and the successful execution of the 'Re-establish the Base' efficiency program.
Under Kamper's leadership since April 2023, ams OSRAM has strengthened its financial base, reduced debt, and streamlined operations. The sale of the non-optical sensing business, completed on July 1, 2026, has enabled the company to focus on its optical core and emerging areas like augmented reality and data communication. Dr. Margarete Haase, Chairwoman of the Supervisory Board, stated: "As CEO, Aldo Kamper has strategically realigned ams OSRAM and laid the foundation for sustainable growth. ... With the new contract extending through the end of September 2031, the Supervisory Board reaffirms its full confidence in Aldo Kamper."
Kamper's background includes a long tenure at OSRAM starting in 1994, where he led the Opto Semiconductors business unit and pioneered microLED technology. He later served as CEO of Leoni AG before returning to lead ams OSRAM. He holds a degree in business administration from Maastricht University and an MBA from Stanford University.
The extension signals stability and a long-term commitment to the company's vision as a leader in digital photonics. Kamper emphasized: "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." This continuity is critical as ams OSRAM navigates the competitive landscape of light and sensor solutions, leveraging its portfolio for smart mobility, artificial intelligence, and robotics. The company, with around 18,500 employees and EUR 3.3 billion in 2025 revenues, is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and headquartered in Premstaetten, Austria, and Munich, Germany.
