Starting today, Aldo Kamper is succeeding Dr. Rüdiger Müller who, after heading the optoelectronic semiconductor business for 22 years at OSRAM and formerly at Siemens, is retiring. Kamper started his professional career at OSRAM in 1994 after completing his business administration studies. Between 1999 and 2006, he held executive positions at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors in the fields of automotive and visible LEDs. Since 2006, he has held the post of Executive Vice President & General Manager, Specialty Lighting at OSRAM Sylvania in the U.S. With his technological and business-administration expertise, he has all the right credentials to further extend the company’s role as global technology driver in very close review and coordination with its customers.
Dr. Rüdiger Müller’s retirement brings an era to an end at OSRAM Opto Semiconductors and in LED technology. Müller headed the optoelectronic semiconductor business at Siemens from 1988 and, in 1999, was also founding CEO of OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, in which Siemens’ LED and infrared business was pooled with OSRAM’s lighting competence.
