Image Supply Systems Audio Visual joins Econocom

Econocom, a European leader in digital transformation for public and private organisations, announces the acquisition of a majority stake in Image Supply Systems Audio Visual (ISSAV), a leading Dublin-based audiovisual integrator. This transaction marks a significant step in strengthening Econocom’s ability to deliver full-lifecycle, high-performance AV integration services across Ireland.

Founded in 1991, ISSAV has built a strong reputation for delivering reliable AV integration and maintenance services to over 150 organisations, including educational institutions, public bodies, and corporate clients. Its portfolio spans from small-scale meeting room solutions to complex AV environments, underpinned by long-standing client relationships and a commitment to service excellence.

As part of Econocom, ISSAV will gain access to enhanced resources to meet rising demand for integrated AV and IT infrastructure solutions across Ireland. This includes AV-as-a-Service financing options, expanded engineering support, a broader vendor ecosystem, and streamlined project execution capabilities—enabling the team to scale and support projects of increasing complexity.

“ISSAV exemplifies our strategy of building strong local capabilities backed by the scale of a pan-European AV integrator,” said Israel Garcia, Managing Director Business Development & Strategic plan and Country Manager UK & Ireland at Econocom. “Their technical expertise and trusted client relationships make them a valuable partner in Ireland. By joining Econocom, they retain their local agility while benefiting from the Group’s broader resources—this is how we deliver the best of both worlds.”

Brendan Nourse, Director of ISSAV, added: “This marks an exciting new chapter for ISSAV. Joining Econocom allows us to expand our capabilities while continuing to deliver the same high-quality AV solutions our clients rely on. It also opens the door to new opportunities across Europe, giving us access to a broader network, greater resources, and a wider client base. We’re looking forward to the opportunities this brings for our team and our customers across Ireland and beyond.”

This acquisition follows Econocom’s earlier 2025 acquisition of Smartcomm, a leading UK audiovisual integration provider known for delivering complex AV solutions across corporate, education and public sectors. Together, these investments form a robust platform for delivering end-to-end AV projects across the UK and Ireland.

Both transactions are part of Econocom’s strategic investment programme, supported by a €225 million Schuldschein private placement. The Group is deploying targeted capital to consolidate fragmented AV markets, expand sectoral reach, and accelerate the rollout of its One Econocom transformation plan.

With ISSAV and Smartcomm now part of the Group, Econocom’s AV activities in the UK and Ireland join a series of recent acquisitions in Spain and Germany – contributing to a more than €300 million European AV business and delivering global capability with local service.
