法国Cedip Infrared Systems    
Cedip 红外系统公司是一家法国红外相机及固定万向节系统（stabilized gimbaled systems）供应商。Cedip公司成立于1989年，专为科研及安防市场提供冷中长波红外相机，同时还为各种商业和政府应用飞机提供高性能固定万向节系统。截止到2006年12月31日的财政年度，该公司营业收入近1820万欧元，营业利润近310万欧元。
2007年9月14日，美国FLIR Systems公司宣布对Cedip红外系统公司的控股协议。根据协议，Cedip公司控股人同意出售其股份给FLIR公司。由此，FLIR将掌握有该公司67.8%的股份，全部分摊后，每股为19欧元，整体资金为4140万欧元。

本次收购对FLIR的科研相机市场来说意义重大。收购不仅增强了公司的国际销售网络，还引入了包括冷冻中波红外相机在内的新产品及技术；同时FLIR在欧洲也拥有了重要的生产及技术基地。FLIR预计将通过整合销售网络、以及在部分Cedip产品中采用FLIR红外传感器等方式来降低产品成本。

另外，Cedip公司位于瑞典的Eskilstuna的Polytech分公司，专门生产中型、低成本、高稳定性的固定万向节系统。Polytech的产品将扩大FLIR公司的固定多传感器系统系列，使其在FLIR公司的产品在政府系统及商业视觉系统应用中具有增长优势。

交接一旦完成，Cedip公司的红外相机部门工作将并入FLIR的Thermography部门。而Polytech分公司将并入FLIR的政府系统（Government system）部门。

FLIR公司主席、总裁兼董事长Earl Lewis评价说，“我们非常高兴宣布这次移交。Cedip的公司团队因在高性能相机上良好的设计及制造能力而声名显著。他们的相机对FLIR的产品做出了有益的补充，也促进了公司在世界关键市场的增长。我们欢迎Cedip公司勤奋的员工们加入FLIR公司。FLIR公司人员预计此次收购不会对公司2008年收入产生什么影响，但将惠顾于接下来的几年。
