PREMSTAETTEN, AUSTRIA and MUNICH, GERMANY - 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, 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 and outlined his vision: '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.'
The extension underscores the board's approval of Kamper's strategic direction.

Under his leadership, the group streamlined structures, assigned clear responsibilities to business units, and took measures to reduce debt. The sale of the non-optical sensing business was successfully completed as of July 1, 2026. This has established a sound financial foundation for profitable growth in the optical core business and future areas such as augmented reality and data communication.
Kamper began his career at OSRAM in Regensburg in 1994, holding various leadership roles in Europe and the United States in LED and specialty lighting. He became CEO of the Opto Semiconductors business unit in 2010, pioneering microLED technology, dynamic front-end lighting, and high-performance LED roadmaps. In 2018, he joined Leoni AG as CEO. Kamper holds a degree in business administration from Maastricht University and an MBA from Stanford University.
The decision to extend Kamper's term signals stability and long-term commitment to the company's strategy. ams OSRAM, a global leader in innovative light and sensor solutions, specializes in digital photonics.
