Infineon Technologies AG completed the acquisition of the non-optical analog/mixed-signal sensor portfolio from ams OSRAM Group. The transaction, announced in February 2026, has received all necessary regulatory approvals. With the acquisition, Infineon strengthens its position as a leader in sensors for industrial and automotive applications through a complementary portfolio and expands its product range in medical applications.
“This acquisition perfectly supports Infineon’s sensor and radio frequency growth strategy,” says Stephan Zizala, Division President Edge Systems at Infineon. “The acquired business complements our strong existing portfolio. Moreover, by combining ams OSRAM’s sensor portfolio with Infineon’s wafer technologies and mixed-signal IP, we will be able to develop highly innovative new products for our customers. We look forward to scaling and growing our business together with around 230 talented colleagues joining Infineon.”
The acquired business is expected to generate around €230 million in revenue in calendar year 2026 and will support Infineon's profitable growth. The transaction is accretive to earnings-per-share right upon closing with future synergies enabling substantial additional value creation. The acquired portfolio is a strong strategic fit for the newly established Edge Systems (ES) division, where Infineon brings together sensors, compute, connectivity and security to enable integrated system-level solutions at the edge. The teams and assets will be integrated into the existing sensor and radio frequency business within ES.
The acquired Positioning & Temperature Sensors assets strengthen Infineon’s high precision position, capacitive, and temperature sensing for automotive, industrial, consumer and medical applications – such as chassis position sensing and hands on detection in vehicles, angle and position sensing for robotics, and glucose monitoring. The acquired Mixed Signal Products business adds leading medical imaging and sensor interfaces to the portfolio of Infineon, including products for computer tomography and digital X-ray, as well as sensor interface ASICs.
With the closing of the transaction, around 230 employees with expertise in research and development (R&D) and business management join Infineon. As a result, Infineon gains three new locations in Valencia (Spain), Rapperswil (Switzerland) and Hyderabad (India).
