OSRAM Sylvania Inc. is the North American operation of lighting manufacturer OSRAM. It was established in January 1993, with the acquisition of GTE’s Sylvania lighting division by OSRAM GmbH.[1] In 2016, OSRAM spun off its general lighting business to LEDVANCE which received a license to sell lighting products under the OSRAM and Sylvania names.[2]

The company produces a wide range of lighting products and solutions for industrial, entertainment, medical, and smart building and city applications, as well as products for the automotive aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer markets. In the Americas, OSRAM sells Automotive products under the Sylvania brand name and uses the brand OSRAM for all other products.
