Overview
- The sale covers non‑optical sensors for automotive, industrial and medical uses, with completion targeted in the second quarter of 2026.
- About 230 employees will transfer to Infineon, including roughly 70 moving from Premstätten to Infineon’s Graz site, and production locations are not affected.
- The divested business generated about €220 million in revenue and roughly €60 million in adjusted EBITDA last year, and Infineon forecasts around €230 million in 2026 revenue from the acquired portfolio under a multi‑year supply agreement with ams‑Osram.
- ams‑Osram plans to use proceeds to repurchase or repay debt, with part‑sales totaling about €670 million expected to cut pro‑forma leverage from 3.3 to 2.5 and the deal including entities holding roughly €130 million in assets that secure convertible bonds and senior notes.
- Infineon CEO Jochen Hanebeck called the purchase a strategic fit that broadens the company’s analog and sensor offerings and opens opportunities in areas such as robotics and medical imaging.
