Verto invested in Presto Engineering in 2018 with the goal of accelerating its growth and reinforcing its position as a European leader in the ASIC market. During our ownership, we supported the relocation of the company’s headquarters to France and its international expansion into Denmark, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Asia.

We played an active role in strategic development, including the acquisition of Delta Microelectronics in 2020, and worked closely with the management team to strengthen the organisation.

Under our ownership, Presto’s revenue grew from €20 million to over €60 million, with more than 50% of sales generated internationally. This growth was driven by increasing demand in digitalisation, AI, and the Internet of Things, alongside Presto’s ability to serve global clients as a one-stop-shop for ASIC solutions.

Verto exited Presto in 2024, having helped the company scale significantly and establish itself as a market leader with a strong platform for continued success.
