SGPS/ShowRig, the global staging, rigging and automation company, has acquired Niscon Inc., the Ontario-based engineering firm behind the widely used Raynok motion-control software. The deal brings together two long-time partners and further consolidates SGPS/ShowRig’s position in live entertainment as a provider of automation solutions for tours, festivals, film/TV productions, and permanent installations.
Under the agreement, Niscon will operate as a division of SGPS/ShowRig from its Canadian headquarters. The integration is being led by SGPS/ShowRig president Ned Collett.
“For years, our touring clients — including some of the biggest names in the industry — have relied on Niscon’s Raynok software to execute jaw-dropping automation,” Collett said in a press release. “Niscon’s reputation for reliability and technical excellence aligns perfectly with SGPS/ShowRig’s legacy of engineering excellence. By bringing this technology in-house, we can offer a truly integrated and powerful solution that will push the boundaries of what’s possible.”
The acquisition also continues the creative vision of SGPS/ShowRig’s late founder Eric W. Pearce, known for championing innovative approaches to show design and safety.
Niscon founder Denis Lefrancois will oversee integration and help guide the merged company’s automation strategy, while co-founder/CEO Joseph Jeremy will remain in a leadership role. Peter Sinkner, Niscon’s co-founder and principal architect of Raynok, will serve as a consultant.
“This is an exciting new chapter for Niscon,” Lefrancois said in a press release. “We will continue to be a proudly Canadian company, providing the same high-quality products and support our partners expect. Joining forces with SGPS/ShowRig allows us to scale our technology and reach new markets by leveraging their extensive network and resources.”
Financial terms were not disclosed. SGPS/ShowRig retained ButcherJoseph & Co. as exclusive financial advisor on the transaction.
