Cedip 紅外系統(tǒng)公司是一家法國紅外相機及固定萬向節(jié)系統(tǒng)（stabilized gimbaled systems）供應(yīng)商。Cedip公司成立于1989年，專為科研及安防市場提供冷中長波紅外相機，同時還為各種商業(yè)和政府應(yīng)用飛機提供高性能固定萬向節(jié)系統(tǒng)。截止到2006年12月31日的財政年度，該公司營業(yè)收入近1820萬歐元，營業(yè)利潤近310萬歐元。
2007年9月14日，美國FLIR Systems公司宣布對Cedip紅外系統(tǒng)公司的控股協(xié)議。根據(jù)協(xié)議，Cedip公司控股人同意出售其股份給FLIR公司。由此，F(xiàn)LIR將掌握有該公司67.8%的股份，全部分攤后，每股為19歐元，整體資金為4140萬歐元。
本次收購對FLIR的科研相機市場來說意義重大。收購不僅增強了公司的國際銷售網(wǎng)絡(luò)，還引入了包括冷凍中波紅外相機在內(nèi)的新產(chǎn)品及技術(shù)；同時FLIR在歐洲也擁有了重要的生產(chǎn)及技術(shù)基地。FLIR預(yù)計將通過整合銷售網(wǎng)絡(luò)、以及在部分Cedip產(chǎn)品中采用FLIR紅外傳感器等方式來降低產(chǎn)品成本。
另外，Cedip公司位于瑞典的Eskilstuna的Polytech分公司，專門生產(chǎn)中型、低成本、高穩(wěn)定性的固定萬向節(jié)系統(tǒng)。Polytech的產(chǎn)品將擴大FLIR公司的固定多傳感器系統(tǒng)系列，使其在FLIR公司的產(chǎn)品在政府系統(tǒng)及商業(yè)視覺系統(tǒng)應(yīng)用中具有增長優(yōu)勢。
交接一旦完成，Cedip公司的紅外相機部門工作將并入FLIR的Thermography部門。而Polytech分公司將并入FLIR的政府系統(tǒng)（Government system）部門。
FLIR公司主席、總裁兼董事長Earl Lewis評價說，“我們非常高興宣布這次移交。Cedip的公司團隊因在高性能相機上良好的設(shè)計及制造能力而聲名顯著。他們的相機對FLIR的產(chǎn)品做出了有益的補充，也促進了公司在世界關(guān)鍵市場的增長。我們歡迎Cedip公司勤奮的員工們加入FLIR公司。FLIR公司人員預(yù)計此次收購不會對公司2008年收入產(chǎn)生什么影響，但將惠顧于接下來的幾年。
