Irish audio visual and broadcast technology company Ion Solutions has been acquired by Creative Technology Group for an undisclosed sum.
The Dublin-based company specialises in indoor and outdoor live events, conferences and exhibitions, and the design, supply, installation and integration of audio-visual communications equipment, broadcast television systems, digital video production and computer graphics systems, and digital signage.
The deal will mean the company becomes part of CT Europe & Middle East group and is set to be rebranded as Creative Technology (CT) Ireland.
Under the terms of the deal, the existing management team of Ion Solutions will continue to run the day-to-day business.
