OSRAM LICHT AG:

Lamps and lighting systems from OSRAM provide the basis for a beautiful view of things, ensure safety and comfort, allowing for the efficient use of resources. For more than 100 years, OSRAM has been "passionate about intelligent light". As a globally operating company, we also explicitly encourage socially and environmentally responsible policies around the world - as well as sponsoring art and culture at home and abroad.

OSRAM is one of the two leading light manufacturers in the world. The company’s portfolio covers the entire value chain from components to electronic control gears as well as complete luminaires, light management systems and lighting solutions.

OSRAM is a leading player across the entire lighting value chain. This holds true both for classic lighting as well as new technologies. With LED-based products making up a share of about 25 percent of the total turnover, the company is setting significant trends with regard to technological changes in the lighting market. The expenditure for research and development is at approximately 5.5% of turnover.

In the home, at work or in public spaces, in leisure, travel or education – today, modern, urban life is all but inconceivable without electrical light The highest sales are achieved by the General Lighting division. OSRAM is the world's number one supplier of automotive lamps and LED for vehicles. OSRAM is also one of the market leaders in the field of electronic control gear (ECG) for lamps. Business with optical semiconductors is growing rapidly and has taken on major strategic importance. The special display-optic lamp sector is also characterised by a high rate of innovation.

The OSRAM brand name was registered way back in 1906 and is one of the oldest trade names still recognised throughout the world.On July 1, 1919 AEG, Siemens & Halske AG and Deutsche Gasglühlicht AG (Auer Gesellschaft) merged their light bulb production activities. Today, Siemens AG remains the minority shareholder in OSRAM GmbH.

86.924: This was the register number in the Trademark Directory, the start of an exciting story in the history of German industry. It is one of the most traditional brand names in the world, synonymous with light around the globe and first saw the light of day itself more than one hundred years ago. On April 17, 1906 the brand name of OSRAM was entered in the Trademark Directory of the Imperial Patent Office in Berlin.

Who would have thought in 1906 that one day OSRAM would produce sales of 5 billion euros ? Who would have thought hundred years ago, that the electronic in light sources – not exclusively in light emitting diodes (LED) and other opto-semiconductor products – would play a bigger role in the lighting market?

What has happened since 1906 you can see in the OSRAM history overview.

The brand name of OSRAM was "born" in 1906 and registered by the Deutsche Gasglühlicht-Anstalt (also known as Auer-Gesellschaft). The world famous name from 1906 was created from the names of the two materials that were needed at the time to produce filaments - initially Osmium and later Wolfram (or tungsten as it is now more commonly known). 13 years later (on July 1, 1919) it became part of a company name: OSRAM Werke GmbH Kommanditgesellschaft. At the time, Auer-Gesellschaft, AEG and Siemens & Halske AG combined their lamp production activities. From 1978 to 2013, Siemens has been the sole shareholder. Since then, the Group has been listed on the stock exchange as OSRAM Licht AG.

In 1919, the world famous picture logo with the light bulb also made its first appearance.

Today, the stylised lamp in our picture logo is a symbol not only for light but also for good ideas and our passion for intelligent light.

Today light is more than lighting - who would have thought 100 years ago for example,
that light could protect us against diseases?

Pure drinking water is and always will be one of our most precious commodities. With the Puritec UV system from OSRAM water can be disinfected without the use of chemicals.

Today light is more than lighting - who would have thought 100 years ago for example that intelligent light sources would be used in vehicles to enhance our safety?
Whereas early cars had no more than two light sources, if at all, a modern car has around 250. Infra-red technology is used to control rain sensors, lane guidance systems and night vision aids.
Today light is more than lighting - who would have thought 100 years ago for example that a light source saves up to 80% of energy?
1985 OSRAM integrates as the first manufacturer the electronic ballasts (ECG). Today OSRAM Dulux EL Longlife energy-saving lamps last ten years or more. And consume up to 80% less energy than ordinary light bulbs.
