OSRAM clarifies their position. In a message sent to EdisonReport this morning, a spokesperson told us the following:
“OSRAM continues to provide many luminaire brands and product families including Traxon LED fixtures, RT6 LED retrofit down lights, Siteco luminaires and OSRAM KREIOS® theatrical fixtures among others. In addition, last week OSRAM announced the acquisition of Clay Paky, a leading maker of entertainment luminaires for shows and events.”

OSRAM has clarified their position:
“The OSRAM Americas region is taking strategic measures designed to remain competitive in the traditional business that will also allow for investments in profitable growth opportunities. This process involves careful analysis to determine the potential of each aspect of our business. After careful consideration, we have decided to remove certain luminaire product families in the U.S market while we take time to evaluate our future role in this area of the lighting business. This is a necessary step that will enable us to move forward as we pursue our continued leadership in the industry”
Two weeks ago, EdisonReport reported that OSRAM had decided to eliminate 7800 jobs worldwide.
