On July 2, Infineon Technologies announced the formal completion of the acquisition of ams OSRAM Group's non-optical analog/mixed-signal sensor business portfolio. The transaction, disclosed in February this year, has now passed all regulatory approvals.

The acquired assets focus on non-optical sensing areas such as high-precision positioning, capacitive, and temperature sensing, with applications covering automotive chassis position sensing, steering wheel hand-off detection, robot angle positioning, blood glucose monitoring, and medical and health scenarios such as CT and digital X-ray imaging. Approximately 230 R&D and management employees will join Infineon, along with three new operational sites in Valencia, Spain, Rapperswil, Switzerland, and Hyderabad, India.

Stephan Zizala, President of Infineon's Terminal Intelligence Business Unit, stated that the business is highly complementary to the company's sensor and RF strategy and will develop more innovative products in the future by combining Infineon's wafer technology and mixed-signal IP. The acquired business is expected to contribute approximately 230 million euros in revenue in the 2026 calendar year, enhance earnings per share from the transaction date, and has the potential to create additional value through synergies. The relevant teams will be integrated into Infineon's Terminal Intelligence Business Unit, strengthening its capabilities for integrated sensing, computing, connectivity, and security solutions at the edge.
