Employee benefits platform Epassi Group has expanded its UK presence with its latest strategic acquisition of Zest.
Founded in 2004, Zest is a SaaS platform that helps employers manage, communicate, and expand their employee benefits offering.
Zest complements Epassi’s existing operations in the UK and will expand the product suite available to existing and new customers in the UK and Europe.
As part of the acquisition, Matt Russell has been appointed chief executive of the entire Epassi UK business.
“This is a powerful step forward in our pan-European growth journey,” said Pekka Rantala, chief executive of Epassi Group.
“Zest’s advanced platform and strong market position in the UK perfectly complement our vision of a unified, digital-first, multi-benefit experience across all markets.
“We warmly welcome the Zest team into the Epassi family.”
Russell added: “We are thrilled to join Epassi. By combining our strengths, we will be able to offer clients even more value, scale, and product depth.
“This is a hugely exciting opportunity for our people, our partners, and our customers.”
The acquisition of Zest is part of Epassi’s broader strategy to deliver scalable, technology-driven benefit solutions across Europe.
Epassi currently operates in Finland, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, the UK, and Ireland.
