Vaisala - Company Announcement

Vaisala consolidates activities in the US

Stock exchange release      Vaisala Oyj     11 February 2010 at 6 pm

Vaisala acquired the U.S. based Quixote Transportation Technologies, Inc. (QTT)
in late December 2009 to grow its presence in the global road weather and
information technology business.

To achieve synergy targets related to the acquisition, Vaisala is consolidating
its manufacturing, depot and data services, and finance activities currently
located in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, St. Louis, Missouri and Durham, North
Carolina. The former QTT manufacturing and finance functions will be transferred
to Boulder Operations in Colorado, and the service functions to Boulder
Operations and Boston Office, Massachusetts.  These moves are intended to
improve operational efficiency, quality and customer service.

The proposed consolidation activities will impact approximately 30 positions.
Some of these positions are planned to be terminated, some outsourced and some
relocated.

These consolidation activities are planned to be completed by October 2010.
