Welcome to Presto

As an owner, you’ve built something remarkable—a company that protects lives and has earned the trust of customers and employees alike. The decision to sell isn’t just about finding a buyer; it’s about finding the right partner—one that respects the foundation you’ve built and has the scale, vision, and resources to take your business, and your people, to even greater heights.

Why become a part of Presto?

We’re a company that has stood the test of time – more than 66 years in business, growing responsibly and strategically to become a leader in fire and life safety. Like you, we believe in doing the job right and taking care of our customers.

We've had an impressive growth journey - acquiring more than 90 companies - made possible by one consistent principle: preserving what works. We protect the culture, keep the entrepreneurs, and invest in people and quality. We know what it takes to build a successful business, and we'll ensure the progress you've made becomes the platform for what's next

We look for owner-led companies in fire protection, first aid, safety training, and closely related safety services, with a strong local reputation and a team that wants to keep building.

Company size and exact geography vary — what matters most is a shared commitment to quality and safety, and a willingness to grow as part of something bigger. We're currently most active across the Nordics and Northern Europe, with an appetite to keep expanding.

With over 90 completed acquisitions since 2018, we are an experienced acquirer and can complete the transaction in an efficient manner and with minimal disruption to operations
