A-Katsastus Group is Finland’s leading provider of vehicle inspection, drivers’ examination, registration and road traffic licensing services. The company has nationwide station network and it provides drivers’ exams and license services under an exclusive nationwide governmental contract with Traficom.
A-Katsastus Group returned to Finnish ownership as MB Funds acquired a majority stake of the company from a foreign private equity firm in the summer of 2019.
Over the past years the inspection industry has experienced notable transformation due to the development of service concepts and regulatory reforms in the industry.
In February 2021, the entire share capital of A-Katsastus Group Oy was sold to Tradeka-Yhtiöt Oy
