Grooms Director of Marketing Xylem Analytics, NA A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTOR Welcome to our fifth edition of Mission: Water! As always, the magazine is packed with thought provoking application stories and infographics, brought to you by our customers and partners. I wanted to take this opportunity to share an important milestone for our team. I’m proud to announce YSI will have its 70th anniversary in 2018. Yes, we are 70 years young! There’s an important correlation between people and a company’s success. YSI, and its many talented people, have many years of experience and it’s used every day to provide you with the highest quality advice, support and solutions to solve the world’s water challenges. In other words, with age comes wisdom. When a company thrives as long as YSI, it's because along the way it built trust and loyalty with customers. Thank you for trusting us as your partner and for changing the world with our industry leading technology and solutions. Keep your eyes and ears open for special announcements and promotions throughout the year and please join us in celebrating YSI’s 70 year milestone!
