Year 2009

Year 2009 marked the beginning of the new market driven strategy execution for Vaisala. As a company, this meant a big change of culture and attitude for us. Going forward, strategy execution will require further significant investments.These will lay the foundation for our future growth objectives, and strengthen Vaisala's position as the leader in environmental measurement.

Businesswise the year was challenging for Vaisala, and as a result, we did not reach our net sales and profitability targets. Despite the declined net sales the company managed to maintain its market shares.
