Presto acquires FAST Oy, strengthening Training operations in Northern Finland
A collaboration spanning several years has deepened to a new level as FAST Oy became part of Presto through an acquisition completed in March 2026. The transaction strengthens training operations in Northern Finland and brings together strong local expertise with broader nationwide capabilities.
Founded in Oulu in 2007, FAST Oy is known for its practical and high quality safety and first aid training. The company organizes open training courses in several cities as well as customized commissioned training for companies and organizations. Over the years, FAST has built an extensive trainer network and established itself as a trusted partner in Northern Finland.
“FAST Oy’s strong regional presence and skilled trainer network complement our overall offering extremely well. Together, we can provide our customers with an even broader and more accessible range of training services in Northern Finland. This is a natural and strategic step forward,” comments Tero Roivainen, Country Manager of Presto Finland.
For customers, the change will primarily be reflected in increased capacity and a more diverse offering.
The acquisition is part of Presto’s long-term strategy to grow its training business in Finland and to ensure that high quality safety and first aid training is available to companies and organizations wherever it is needed. This is Presto’s second acquisition in Finland in 2026.
