About OSRAM
OSRAM is one of the world's leading lighting manufacturers with over 115 years of heritage, founded in Germany in 1919 through the merger of lighting businesses from Auergesellschaft, Siemens & Halske, and AEG. The iconic name, registered in 1906, combines "Osmium" and "Wolfram" (tungsten) - the materials essential for early light bulb filaments. Headquartered in Munich with operations worldwide, OSRAM has earned its reputation through exceptional durability and energy efficiency in lighting products. From pioneering incandescent bulb technology to becoming a leader in LED and automotive lighting, the brand represents German engineering excellence and innovation in illumination technology. The company was a wholly-owned Siemens subsidiary from 1978 to 2013, later becoming independent before merging with ams in 2021. Today, OSRAM focuses on optical systems across sensing, visualization, and illumination - serving automotive, residential, commercial, and industrial applications with cutting-edge photonics technology. In the UK, OSRAM automotive bulbs are essential for vehicle maintenance - offering reliable headlamp and indicator replacements that meet strict safety standards. Their automotive range, available through UK supermarkets, provides quality OEM-equivalent replacements at accessible prices, ensuring drivers can maintain safe visibility on British roads.
