ams OSRAM Extends CEO Aldo Kamper's Term Through 2031

The Supervisory Board of ams-OSRAM AG has approved the reappointment of Chief Executive Officer Aldo Kamper, extending his contract through September 30, 2031. The new term begins October 1, 2026, replacing the previous contract that was set to expire on March 31, 2027. Kamper has served as CEO since April 2023.

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. 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: “I would like to thank the Supervisory Board for its trust and am proud of everything the entire ams OSRAM team has accomplished over the past few years. 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.”

Kamper's career at OSRAM began in 1994 in Regensburg, where he held various leadership roles in Europe and the United States in LED and specialty lighting. In 2010, he became CEO of the Opto Semiconductors business unit, pioneering microLED technology, dynamic front-end lighting, and high-performance LED roadmaps. He also expanded the global manufacturing footprint. In 2018, he joined Leoni AG as CEO before returning to ams OSRAM in 2023.

Shortly after becoming CEO, Kamper launched the “Re-establish the Base” efficiency program to focus the portfolio and strengthen profitability. Under his leadership, the Group streamlined structures, assigned clear responsibilities to business units, and took significant measures to strengthen the financial base while substantially reducing debt. The sale of the non-optical sensing business was completed on 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 the board's confidence in Kamper's strategic direction, which has positioned ams OSRAM as a focused technology company in digital photonics. The company, headquartered in Premstaetten, Austria, and Munich, Germany, achieved EUR 3.3 billion in revenues in 2025 and is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.
