Founded as “MultiVision” in 1974 by Douglas Elphick, the company originally provided specialized audio visual solutions for corporate boardrooms, museums, planetariums, expo’s, and temporary event installations.

Growing steadily over the first 15 years, MultiVision gained the reputation of providing reliable equipment and stellar service for projects world wide. After securing a multi-million dollar museum installation in Ottawa in 1989, MultiVision was purchased by their long time supplier of audio/video control systems; namely UK based Electrosonic Systems. Mainly due to the inflow of new technology and long standing global relationships, now “MultiVision Electrosonic” had 10 solid years of growth and success.

Ultimately, due to the rate of technological change and unique demands from the customers and dealers in the North American marketplace, it became evident that MultiVision Electrosonic’s Rental Division would benefit by restructuring into a more mobile and flexible firm.  In order to best support the growing service oriented customer base the Rental/Staging Show Division underwent a Management Buyout in 1999 by existing staff to become today’s MVI – MultiVision Inc. and promptly invested in emerging LED video display technology.
