The company produces lighting products for industrial, entertainment, medical, and smart building and city applications, as well as products for the automotive aftermarket and original equipment manufacturer markets.
Osram Sylvania completed a move of its regional headquarters from Danvers, Massachusetts, to Wilmington, Massachusetts, on October 12, 2015.
