The production line, which
will produce highly-efficient burners for halogen lamps, will be put into
operation next summer. The total investment for the new plant is in excess of Euro
10 million. This follows a similar investment for another new production line that
was commissioned in July.
"Eichstätt is Osram's
leading production site for halogen lamps,” said managing director Klaus Patzak.
“The lamps that are produced here are in great demand all over the world. With
the new production line we are continuing to rely on quality Made in Germany
In addition to
energy-efficient LED lamps and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), halogen lamps
are an important alternative to the traditional incandescent bulb that was
finally taken off the shelves in the EU in September 2012.
"Halogen lamps produce
the same light as conventional incandescent bulbs and their lifetime is twice
as long. They are also infinitely dimmable and light up immediately after being
switched on," says factory manager Markus Siegner. At the end of their
service life, halogen bulbs can be disposed of in the household waste.
The Eichstätt production
site has been in operation since 1962, and now uses highly automated,
computer-controlled high-performance production lines. Each year, around 250
million lamps – including halogen lamps for automotive lighting and xenon
short-arc lamps for use in cinemas – are manufactured in Eichstätt.
