Vaisala, a global provider of precision measurement instruments and environmental intelligence solutions, has inaugurated a new office in Mumbai under its newly established entity, Vaisala India. This expansion strengthens the company’s presence in Asia and aligns with its long-term strategy to support India’s fast-evolving industrial landscape. The focus lies on enabling key sectors such as life sciences, electric vehicle battery production, semiconductors, and electronic manufacturing services.
India, now the fourth-largest economy globally, offers a promising market for industrial innovation. The Asia-Pacific region has seen steady growth for Vaisala’s Industrial Measurements business, prompting deeper investment in India’s manufacturing ecosystem. The formal opening on 28 May included a traditional lamp lighting ceremony and ribbon cutting, attended by customers, partners, and diplomats, symbolizing the beginning of this new chapter.
Dr Eva Nilsson, Deputy Consul General of Finland in Mumbai, commended the initiative as a testament to strong economic ties between Finland and India. She highlighted Finland’s readiness to contribute world-class technological solutions in support of India’s development goals, including the Viksit Bharat 2047 vision.
Vaisala’s regional leadership emphasized the doubling of business in India between 2018 and 2024 and expressed confidence in future collaborations to generate greater value. The new office will focus on three areas critical to India’s high-tech industries.
First, in the life sciences sector, Vaisala’s monitoring systems support good manufacturing practices, data integrity, and strict environmental control for pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotechnology, and cleanroom operations. Second, the company’s dew point and humidity sensing technologies enhance safety, reliability, and performance in moisture-sensitive electric vehicle battery production. Third, its advanced monitoring solutions for vacuum and humidity help semiconductor and EMS facilities maintain process integrity, optimize yields, and ensure compliance with stringent manufacturing standards.
The launch of Vaisala India marks a significant investment in the future of precision-led, sustainable manufacturing. With nearly 90 years of innovation and a team of around 2,500 experts worldwide, Vaisala remains focused on supporting global industries through intelligent measurement solutions. The company is listed on the Nasdaq Helsinki stock exchange and continues to expand its footprint in regions with high growth potential.
