About Sysco / What We Do?

Sysco is a leader in the design and delivery of Audio Visual Technology Solutions for some of the world's most celebrated immersive visitor experiences.

For us, space is both the challenge and the opportunity to tell a beautiful story. In exhibitions, museums, stadia or theatres, space is our blank canvas to engineer a story and our foundation for re-imagination. We started off in the pre-digital age as theatre and concert designers, working with light and sound to create experiences for artists such as Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix. Now we use AV technology to bring our visions for different spaces to life, to create experiences that provoke human emotion and create long lasting memories.

We are intent on doing things differently, being unique, and making our work our play.
