Munich, Germany Feb-4th-2026Infineon Technologies AG has announced a definitive agreement to acquire the non-optical analog and mixed-signal sensor portfolio of ams OSRAM Group for €570 million in a debt-free, cash-free transaction, further strengthening Infineon’s position in automotive, industrial, and medical sensing markets.

 

The acquired business is expected to generate approximately €230 million in revenue in calendar year 2026 and is anticipated to be immediately accretive to Infineon’s earnings per share upon closing. Additional synergies are expected over time as the portfolio is integrated into Infineon’s broader system and sensor offerings.

 

The transaction is structured as a fabless asset deal and includes sensor products, related intellectual property, R&D capabilities, and associated test and laboratory equipment. As part of the agreement, Infineon and ams OSRAM will also enter into a multi-year supply arrangement to ensure continuity for customers.

 

Around 230 employees, primarily from research & development and business management functions, are expected to transfer to Infineon as part of the acquisition.

 

According to Infineon, the acquired portfolio significantly expands its sensor capabilities, adding medical imaging and sensor interface solutions (including X-ray technologies), as well as sensors for valve control, building automation, and metering. The transaction also strengthens Infineon’s offering in high-precision positioning, capacitive, and temperature sensing technologies used across automotive, industrial, and medical applications.

 

Infineon CEO Jochen Hanebeck stated that the acquisition complements the company’s existing analog and sensor portfolio and supports its strategy to deliver broader system solutions to customers. He also highlighted opportunities in emerging applications such as humanoid robotics.

 

The acquisition aligns with Infineon’s long-term growth strategy for its sensor business under the Sensor Units & Radio Frequency organization, which was established in 2025 within the company’s Power & Sensor Systems division.

 

The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second quarter of calendar year 2026. Infineon plans to finance the acquisition through additional debt under its general corporate financing strategy.
