Image Supply Systems A. V. Limited (ISSAV), a leading Dublin-based provider of professional audio visual solutions and services, has been acquired by the Econocom Group, a European leader in digital transformation with operations in 16 countries and 8,450 employees.
ISSAV, established 30 years ago, specialises in the installation and maintenance of audio visual, video conferencing and digital equipment for clients across the commercial, government, healthcare and education sectors. Headquartered in Dundrum, the company has built long-standing relationships with leading Irish and international organisations including Avolon, KPMG, Glanbia, Three, AerCap, Enterprise Ireland, Vodafone, RCSI, and Uniphar.
The Econocom Group, founded 50 years ago, has been a pioneer in supporting businesses with their digital transformation. Econocom supplies, finances and provides managed services for workplace, audiovisual and infrastructures. This includes equipment purchasing, configuration and customization, maintenance and repair, refurbishment, and end-user support. Econocom achieved €2.744 billion in revenue in 2024. The Group is listed on Euronext Brussels and is part of the Tech Leaders, Bel Small, and Family Business indices.
With Econocom as a majority shareholder, ISSAV’s annual turnover is projected to significantly increase over the next five years, from €10 million to €40-50 million, with client service offering and geographical reach expanding, and employee numbers tripling from 30 to 90. The partnership will also facilitate collaboration with other members of the Econocom Group on larger, more diverse and multi-country opportunities. ISSAV will continue to be led by an extremely experienced local management team.
By combining local expertise with the scale and resources of a European technology leader, ISSAV’s portfolio will incorporate services across Econocom’s four key pillars:
- Workplace: Providing end-to-end solutions for employee productivity, including device management and workplace transformation.
- Infrastructure: Delivering robust, scalable IT infrastructure to support organisations in their digital transformation journeys.
- Audio Visual: Designing and implementing state-of-the-art AV solutions for diverse business needs, from corporate environments to creative industries.
- Finance: Offering customised finance solutions, including Device as a Service (DaaS) and tailored financial models, to optimise IT investments.
Brendan Nourse, Managing Director of ISSAV, said: “Joining Econocom marks an exciting new chapter for Image Supply Systems Ireland A. V. Limited. This partnership allows us to expand our capabilities throughout Ireland and into Europe while continuing to deliver the same high-quality AV solutions our clients know us for. It also opens the door to new opportunities across Europe, giving us access to greater resources, a wider client base, and the support of a global digital transformation leader. We’re particularly excited to be growing our team – tripling our workforce over the next five years – to meet increased demand and deliver more for our clients in Ireland and across Europe.”
The acquisition of ISSAV was part of Econocom’s €225 million Schuldschein-backed investment programme, which aims to consolidate fragmented national AV markets, broaden sector reach, and accelerate the One Econocom transformation plan.
Israel Garcia, Managing Director of Business Development & Strategic Plan and Country Manager UK & Ireland at Econocom, said: “The addition of ISSAV to the Econocom Group is an important strategic step to strengthen our position as Europe’s audiovisual leader. Ireland is an innovative and fast-growing market, and ISSAV’s expertise perfectly complements our capabilities to offer a local service backed by the scale and resources of a European leader. Together, we will accelerate the delivery of next-generation AV solutions that enhance collaboration, creativity, and connection for our clients within Ireland.”
Following Econocom’s recent Global Audiovisual conference in Marbella – which marked a major step in strengthening the Group’s AV leadership across Europe – ISSAV now looks forward to hosting its own milestone event at Trinity College Dublin on 21st October, marking the beginning of a new chapter for audio visual innovation in Ireland under the banner of ‘One Future’.
