Insta's growth story

Insta is a diversified Finnish family company that ensures critical security and functionality within industry, defence, software development, and cyber security. We are a reliable partner that our customers can always rely on when society needs to run smoothly.

For decades, Insta’s solutions have been worth your trust, as we have the experience, capabilities, and a can-do attitude. When water, electricity, and data move, factories produce, cyber threats are kept at bay, and society keeps running, we – more than one thousand Insta team members – have shown ourselves to be worthy of the trust placed in us. This is decisive security for the future.

The company has transformed from a small firm into a group with over a thousand employees, developing and utilizing cutting-edge technology.

This year, Insta celebrates its 65th anniversary. Discover the key milestones of our history below.
