Vaisala to divest its wind profiler business to Scintec AG

Vaisala has signed a contract to divest its wind profiler business to Scintec AG in order to better focus on the core product lines in the Weather business area. The divestment is expected to contribute to increased focus in product development and customer service.

Vaisala continues to offer the world leading LAP wind profilers as components in its integrated weather and decision support system offering, but will no longer have the product in its own portfolio.

Scintec AG is located in Rottenburg, Germany. The company develops, manufactures and markets atmospheric sensors using optical, radio wave and acoustic techniques.
