Econocom expands UK & Ire reach with two acquisitions
Econocom has anounced the strategic acquisition of Image Supply Systems Audio Visual (ISSAV), a Dublin-based AV integrator, which complements the Smartcomm asset deal completed earlier in 2025.

UK integrator Smartcomm went into administration in February this year.

Combined with existing resources, these businesses now offer consultancy, design, installation, integration, maintenance, and support for AV environments of every scale across the UK and Ireland.

With Smartcomm and ISSAV now part of the Group, Econocom’s AV operations 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.

Smartcomm, now fully integrated into Econocom, brings a strong team and an established presence in AV and infrastructure integration. The team is renowned for delivering large-scale AV projects in corporate headquarters, universities, and public-sector estates, and will continue to provide the same high-quality service under the Econocom brand.

ISSAV, adds a diversified client base of over 150 organisations across the education, public, and corporate sectors. Econocom acquired a 67% stake in the AV integrator, with the previous owners retaining a 33% share. The company brings more than 30 years of integration expertise and a loyal Irish customer base across all sectors.

Both acquisitions form 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.
