Our Vision

We exist to make the world a little safer, every day — for our customers, their employees, and the communities around them. Everything we do is guided by our vision “Saving lives, togheter.”

Our values

Together

It's the word in our vision, "Saving lives, together." We work as one group with our customers and each other to prevent accidents and respond when it counts.

Customer focus

Every decision starts with what keeps our customers protected and their day running smoothly — not with what's easiest for us.

Simplicity

Fire safety and compliance are complicated enough. We keep it simple for our customers — easy to book, easy to understand, one relationship they can rely on.

From family business to European leader

Presto was founded in Katrineholm, Sweden, in 1959. What began as a small fire extinguisher manufacturer has grown into an international group with a presence across Europe — driven always by the same core ambition: to protect businesses and save lives by preventing fires and accidents.

Over the decades, we have expanded our product and service portfolio to encompass fire protection, safety training, first aid solutions, and shelter room services — making us a comprehensive safety partner for organisations of all sizes.

Today, Presto is a leading European actor combining its own manufacturing, local presence, and large-scale training operations to protect businesses and save lives.

Growth through acquisition is not incidental to our strategy — it is central to it. Each company that joins strengthens the platform for everyone who comes next.

Sustainability

Protecting the environment and contributing to a safer society

As the leading player in our industry, we're committed to building a safer, more sustainable future — for our customers, our industry, and the generations that follow. Our sustainability work centers on three focus areas:

  • Non-toxic fire protection — phasing out harmful substances like PFAS across our product range
  • Circular solutions — take-back and recycling systems that give fire extinguishers a second life
  • Reduced climate impact — science-based targets aligned with the Paris Agreement

Our goal is clear: to be the most sustainable option for protection against fire and accidents.
