ams AG (SWX:AMS) wants to look for a buyer for the digital division of OSRAM Licht AG (XTRA:OSR). “The digital business of Osram doesn't really fit in ams, so we are looking for a better location for the business” Chief Financial Officer Michael Wachsler-Markowitsch told Reuters on February 11, 2020. The division deals with big projects like lighting of stadiums and industrial facilities.

In general, ams wants to run businesses which can bring sustainable growth and returns in the long term. The purpose of the takeover of Osram by ams isn't about the expected effects of synergy amounting to €300 million ($327.417 million), but about developing joint products. There are no plans for reduction of employment.
