Presto is acquiring Dahl Medical and will thus become a full-service partner within the fire safety and first aid field
“Currently, almost 80 percent of Swedish businesses lack defibrillators in the workplace1 . If someone is experiencing a cardiac arrest, a defibrillator could be the difference between life and death. Through this acquisition, we are now able to provide our customers with a full-service offering that is in line with our vision of “Saving lives together”. That is why this is especially important, and we are looking forward to integrating Dahl Medical into the Presto family and continuing to make a difference together,” says Filip Bjurström, CEO and Group Chief Executive of Presto AB.
Dahl Medical AB was established in 1994 and has its headquarters in Saltsjö-Boo outside of Stockholm. The company operates a nationwide network of CPR instructors and retailers, which will gradually be integrated into Presto's offering. The acquisition means that Presto will be broadening its product portfolio and strengthening its offering within first aid, which constitutes one of the company's most important areas of growth.
“We feel both proud and full of expectation to be part of Presto. Our common objective is to make sure that more lives are saved by always keeping first aid training and equipment close at hand. Every year approximately 10,000 people in Sweden suffer a cardiac arrest and only about 600 survive. If the person affected receives professional assistance within 3 minutes, the chance of survival increases by 75 per cent2 .,” says Henrik Dahl, CEO and founder of Dahl Medical AB.
