      This acquisition will expand business ventures by leveraging Process Instruments’ industrial process instrument business oriented primarily around refinery and petrochemistry solutions in the United States and HORIBA’s global sales network.

      此次收购将利用Process Instruments的工业过程仪表业务，主要面向美国的炼油厂和石油化学解决方案以及HORIBA的全球销售网络，从而扩大业务。

      The integration of Process Instruments’ robust devices and data analysis capabilities cultivated in oil markets with HORIBA’s lineup of highly accurate spectroscopy solutions is expected to realize the high-precision real-time monitoring that has typically been difficult to achieve in industrial processes. Even outside of the oil industry, we will create new value in process monitoring for pharmaceutical, material, and other such sectors, with the goal of accelerating our growth in these important markets.

      Process Instruments在石油市场培养的强大设备和数据分析能力与 HORIBA 的高精度光谱解决方案系列相结合，有望实现工业过程中通常难以实现的高精度实时监控。即使在石油行业之外，我们也将在制药、材料和其他此类行业的过程监控中创造新的价值，目标是加速我们在这些重要市场的增长。

        Business Field and Background

        Expanding Process Instruments businesses via the HORIBA global network

        Controlling the state of a product material through real-time monitoring of its chemical reaction process is becoming more important than ever to achieve not only fast but also high-quality production in every industry, which is currently driving demand for industrial process monitoring. Especially at refinery and petrochemical sites, companies are pursuing efficient measurement of a wide variety of streams in harsh environments.

      业务领域和背景

      通过 HORIBA 全球网络扩展过程仪表业务

      通过实时监控产品材料的化学反应过程来控制其状态变得比以往任何时候都更加重要，以实现每个行业的快速和高质量生产，这推动了目前对工业过程监控的需求。特别是在炼油厂和石化厂，公司正在寻求在恶劣环境中对各种流体进行有效测量。

      As one core product of Process Instruments, its Raman process spectroscopy is highly competitive and holds a large share of the North American market due to superior robustness and the ability to analyze dozens of streams with a single instrument. By taking advantage of HORIBA’s global sales and support network, we will be able to expand Process Instruments’ industrial process monitoring business from North America to the rest of the world.

      作为Process Instruments的核心产品之一，其拉曼过程光谱具有很强的竞争力，由于卓越的稳健性和用一台仪器分析数十个流的能力，在北美市场占有很大份额。通过利用 HORIBA 的全球销售和支持网络，我们将能够将 Process Instruments 的工业过程监控业务从北美扩展到世界其他地区。

    Opening channels to new markets by integrating HORIBA and Process Instruments technologies

     The integration of technologies from both our companies brings with it tremendous potential. Raman process spectroscopy is not only one technical strength of HORIBA as a superior analysis solution at a molecular level but also a distinct feature of core Process Instruments products. In comparison with chromatography and near-infrared spectroscopy, which are two other predominant analysis solutions, industries are showing even broader needs for Raman spectroscopy in industrial process monitoring due to its high-precision analysis capabilities.

     通过集成 HORIBA 和过程仪表技术打开通往新市场的渠道

     我们两家公司的技术整合带来了巨大的潜力。拉曼过程光谱不仅是 HORIBA 作为分子水平上卓越分析解决方案的技术优势之一，也是过程仪器核心产品的显著特征。与色谱和近红外光谱（另外两种主要分析解决方案）相比，由于其高精度分析能力，工业界对拉曼光谱在工业过程监测中的需求更加广泛。

     Moreover, HORIBA provides a lineup of high-precision spectroscopy solutions amassed over many years across a wide range of applications in addition to Raman spectroscopy. The integration of Process Instruments’ robust devices and data analysis capabilities cultivated in oil markets with HORIBA’s lineup of highly accurate spectroscopy solutions is expected to realize high-precision real-time monitoring as well as create new applications for Raman spectroscopy.

      此外，除了拉曼光谱之外，HORIBA 还提供一系列多年来在广泛应用中积累的高精度光谱解决方案。Process Instruments在石油市场培养的强大设备和数据分析能力与HORIBA的高精度光谱解决方案系列相结合，有望实现高精度实时监测，并为拉曼光谱创造新的应用。

     The fierce development race within sectors experiencing a lot of investment is driving the need for faster and more accurate process monitoring, particularly high. For example, the amazing evolution of biotechnologies is generating enormous competition to develop new drugs and biomedicines in the bio-healthcare sector. Competition from the pursuit of miniaturization and weight reductions to more refined and highly functional materials is strikingly remarkable in cutting-edge material and other such fields pitting researchers against one another.

      在经历大量投资的行业内，激烈的发展竞争正在推动对更快、更准确的过程监控的需求，尤其是高端应用。例如，生物技术的惊人发展正在为生物保健领域的新药和生物药物开发带来巨大的竞争。从追求小型化和轻量化到更精细、功能更强大的材料的竞争在尖端材料和其他此类领域引人注目，研究人员相互竞争。

      We will create new applications for our technologies in industrial fields experiencing fiercely competitive development by promoting a synergistic effect between HORIBA and Process Instruments technologies. We will broaden our perspective as well to create applications for carbon-neutral fields. The development of a wide range of applications in step with the three megatrends in the Energy & Environment, Bio & Healthcare, and Materials & Semiconductor markets will help revolutionize manufacturing.

     我们将通过促进HORIBA和过程仪表技术之间的协同效应，在竞争激烈的工业领域为我们的技术创造新的应用。我们还将拓宽视野，为碳中和领域创造应用。随着能源与环境，生物与医疗保健以及材料和半导体市场的三大趋势，广泛应用的发展将有助于彻底改变制造业。
