維薩拉公司（VAISALA）是環(huán)境與工業(yè)測量的全球領(lǐng)導者。在75年經(jīng)驗和創(chuàng)新基礎(chǔ)上，公司從一個小型家族企業(yè)成長為一家獨具特色的全球性企業(yè)，客戶群涵蓋氣象與水文機構(gòu)、公路與航空機構(gòu)、風能提供商及制藥業(yè)與電力行業(yè)等等。我們每年為全球150多個國家和地區(qū)的客戶提供服務。
我們是如何取得今天的輝煌成就的？一切都要歸結(jié)為創(chuàng)新和技術(shù)。不斷進行突破性的技術(shù)創(chuàng)新鞏固了維薩拉所取得的成功，其中包括20世紀30年代的無線電探空儀、20世紀70年代的薄膜濕度傳感器技術(shù)與第一套機場氣象系統(tǒng)；20世紀90年代的二氧化碳與露點傳感器、21世紀初的雙偏振氣象雷達與上個月剛剛問世的移動道路氣象應用系統(tǒng)。
維薩拉來到中國也已經(jīng)有很長一段歷史。我們曾經(jīng)在20世紀50年代中期向中國交付了無線電探空儀和探測設(shè)備，并于20世紀70年代開始了更為持續(xù)的合作。維薩拉于1994年在北京開設(shè)首個中國代表處，從事中國的業(yè)務聯(lián)絡(luò)，銷售及售后服務工作。在此期間，我們已經(jīng)認識到，中國和維薩拉有許多共同之處，比如雙方都認為堅持不懈、創(chuàng)新及科技發(fā)展是促使中國在近幾十年中取得顯著增長的強大動力。
今天，中國依然是維薩拉的一個非常重要的焦點市場。我們也在探尋在中國加大研發(fā)活動的可能性，以便能夠開發(fā)出我們的中國客戶真正需要和賞識的環(huán)境監(jiān)控技術(shù)和測量方法，以此向中國的現(xiàn)代化進程作出我們的貢獻。
Vaisala is a global leader in environmental and industrial measurement. Building on 75 years of experience and innovation, the company has grown from a small family business into a unique global corporation with customer groups that vary from meteorological and hydrological institutions to road and aviation authorites, and from wind energy providers to pharmaceutical and power industries. Each year we serve customers in 0ver 150 countries.
How did we get where we are today? What it all comes down to is innovation and technology. The groundbreaking technological innovations that have solidified Vaisala's success include the first radiosonde in the 1930s, thin-film humidity sensor technology and first airport weather systems in 1970s, carbon dioxide and dewpoint sensors in the 1990s, dual polarization weather radar in early 2000s, and a mobile road weather application launched just last month.

Vaisala's history in China goes back a long time as well. We delivered radiosondes and sounding equipment here already in the mid-1950s, and started a more continuous cooperation in the 1970s. First Vaisala office in China was opened in Beijing in 1994. During all this time, we have come to realize that China and Vaisala have a lot in common in the sense that perseverence, innovation and technological development have also been strong drivers for the remarkable growth China has achieved in the recent decades.
Today China remains a very important focus market for Vaisala. We are also investigating possibilities to increase our research and develoment activities in China to be able to develop exactly the kind of environmental monitoring technologies and measurement approaches that our Chinese customers need and appreciate. Doing this, we offer our contribution to the great course of China’s modernization.
