FAST

FAST Group has vast experience of developing, testing, and selling products distributed to sales channels and retail chains in the Czech Republic and abroad, including its own PLANEO network and distribution channels in Hungary, Poland, and many other countries. PPF Group holds a 50% stake in FAST Group, with the remaining shares held by EC Investments.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FAST Group&rsquo;s long-term priority is to strategically expand its product range in established segments and strengthen the position of its core brands, with a particular focus on SENCOR, Philco, Fieldmann, Lamart, Yenkee, Catler, Buxton, Bayby, Retlux, and Stell. It currently owns 15 DIY and consumer electronics brands. With SENCOR, its most profitable and established brand, FAST concentrates on innovating, developing, and improving its product portfolio and supporting end customers. In addition to overseeing its own brands, FAST handles distribution for over a hundred other brands, which includes exclusive representation of global leaders such as Sage and SodaStream.

FAST&rsquo;s robust business model and traditionally strong market position form the foundation of its ongoing drive to maximise sales and profit. It is in the process of building an extensive retail network, improving its quality, and planning for further sustainable expansion. It is seeking viable retail sites in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, while closely monitoring, analysing, and improving the profitability metrics of its individual shops.

Planeo store

In recent years, FAST Group has capitalised on the accelerated growth of e-commerce and focused on vigorously pursuing the development of its own B2C online sales platforms. In 2023 and 2024, it successfully propelled PLANEO&rsquo;s e-commerce business forwards by assembling a team and building online infrastructure, enabling it to grow even in an otherwise shrinking market. This move handed FAST a dominant market share in high-growth categories such as e-mobility, professional weather stations, and mobile air-conditioning, where its own SENCOR-branded products have proven successful.&nbsp;&nbsp;
FAST continues to invest in the digitalisation and automation of its operations in order to enhance customer support, improve the overall customer experience, and increase its technological edge.
