“Our goal is to strengthen the knowledge of life threatening efforts and ensure efficient work on fire protection. Safedo’s advanced range of first-aid products and its strong position as an expert in first-aid readiness in Finnish workplaces allow us to further broaden our service offering in Finland as well as the rest of Scandinavia,” says Filip Bjurström, CEO of the Presto Group.

Safedo is the leading supplier of defibrillators in Finland. The company has developed its own innovative product line for first-aid stations and first-aid kits, and it has accumulated a very strong knowledge base of first-aid and security training courses. For now, Safedo will continue to operate as a separate company. The previous company owners, Marko and Minna Parviainen together with the company staff, also will continue to serve the company.

“First-aid readiness in the workplace is one of the key sub-sectors in workplace safety. Quick action, appropriate first-aid equipment coupled with first-aid skills save human lives. We are proud of this acquisition since it will enable us to further broaden our service range. Our intention is that more people will take part in our training courses and this way improve safety in their workplaces,” tells Tero Roivainen, Presto’s Country Manager in Finland.

“Together with Presto, we can offer our customers a much more comprehensive range of safety training courses throughout Finland. Training constitutes an integral part of risk management in all companies. Preventing accidents enhances work safety, which translates into cost savings. As part of the Presto Group, we now also have more resources to develop our extensive range of first-aid products in the Finnish and other Scandinavian markets,” concludes Marko Parviainen, CEO of Safedo Abp.
