In line with its long term strategy, Finnish road weather information technology company 144 Vaisala has carried out a review of its products and has sold three non-weather product ranges, distance measuring instruments, portable traffic analysers, and highway advisory radio systems, to its US distributor, 6875 M H Corbin.

M H Corbin is an established Vaisala distributor in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and New York. In addition to the three new product ranges, the company has also been a distributor of Vaisala’s road weather solutions, which will continue.

Vaisala says its goal is to remain the world leader in providing the best road weather sensors, service, and decision support software available to the transportation community.   The company also plans to increase its technical and consultative support.  It believes that its experience in measuring and monitoring weather around the globe, together with research and development that produces state of the art instruments and solutions such as the non-intrusive road condition sensor, and mobile road weather development, means Vaisala is able to solve many road weather challenges.

“We are especially satisfied that the company continuing to serve our customers is experienced and knowledgeable about the divested products and business. This ensures that our customers will be handled professionally and taken care of in the future,” says Antero Jarvinen, director, roads and rail.
