AVI-SPL, the global provider of digital enablement solutions, has reached an agreement to acquire Grupo ICAP Global (ICAP Global) of Latin America and Spain. The two entities will merge under AVI-SPL, creating the largest global AV, unified communications and collaboration, workplace management, and experience technology provider able to serve customers across the globe locally.
Founded in 1957 and operating today in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Spain, ICAP Global has a strong reputation for exceptional technology expertise and service as well as value-added distribution, says AVI-SPL. The combined entity will be uniquely qualified to advance clients’ digital experience transformation worldwide with the widest portfolio of AV, UCC, IoT, and managed services backed by the largest global team positioned locally across North America, South America, Europe, and Asia.
With this addition, no other single provider offers the same breadth of digital workplace solutions with the same global support capabilities, says AVI-SPL. This expansion deepens AVI-SPL’s commitment to serving Spanish-speaking markets, where it sees tremendous demand from local and global companies alike.
Previously, AVI-SPL acquired the assets of Multimedia to support growth in Mexico. Now, with ICAP Global’s teams and established business locations, AVI-SPL will offer clients in Latin America and Spain the subject matter expertise to expediently navigate the complexities of doing business there.
“We’ve long admired ICAP Global’s remarkable success and industry leadership,” says John Zettel, CEO of AVI-SPL. “They became the leading AV and UCC service provider in their markets by consistently creating client value through outstanding quality and exceptional service. Now, we’ll work and grow as one as we expand globally to serve our customers locally wherever they need us.”
Martin Saul, CEO of Grupo ICAP Global and Chairman of the AVIXA Board LSC, says, “The AV and Integrated Experiences Technology Industry is undergoing tremendous transformation and growth. We see this as the ideal moment to combine forces with AVI-SPL so we can serve the most clients in the most regions with consistently exceptional services and customer experience, enriched by cultural diversity.”
Heightened customer expectations of the modern workplace have heightened provider requirements. Today, people expect immediate access to robust communications, collaboration, and team productivity technology that interfaces seamlessly across their physical and digital spaces. Yet, network topology, multi-vendor solutions, cloud platform interoperability, and security protocols have greatly increased the complexity of consistently meeting global client needs. AVI-SPL says it is ideally positioned to meet these needs.
As AVI-SPL grows globally, the acquisition expands its domain expertise, regional understanding, and local talent to ensure its clients successfully leverage modern work tools across their organizations.
