Osram
Manufacturer of energy efficient lighting products
Overview
OSRAM is giant in the lighting market that has been around for over a century. The world famous name from 1906 was created from the names of the two materials that were needed at the time to produce filaments - initially Osmium and later Wolfram (or tungsten as it is now more commonly known). 13 years later (on July 1, 1919) it became part of a company name: OSRAM Werke GmbH Kommanditgesellschaft. At the time, Auer-Gesellschaft, AEG and Siemens & Halske AG combined their lamp production activities; since 1978 Siemens has been the sole shareholder. (Spinoff & IPO imminent)
