What Equipson does

Equipson is a Spanish developer, manufacturer, and distributor of professional audiovisual equipment, founded in 1995 in Valencia and headquartered in Silla, Spain, on a 10,000m2 campus that consolidates manufacturing, logistics, and administration. The company operates a multi-brand portfolio led by the WORK PRO flagship brand (professional audio including amplifiers, loudspeakers, ceiling speakers, 100V installation systems, audio-over-IP and DSP, and mixers) and supplemented by the LightShark line of DMX-based hardware lighting consoles (LS-Core, LS-1, LS-Wing, LS-NODE), the FANTEK brand of event structures and lifting systems acquired in 2015, and the MUSICSON professional audio brand acquired in 2026. Products are organized across six categories — Professional Audio, Audio Installation, Lighting, Towers and Structures, Accessories and Cabling, and Musical Instruments — and are supplemented by proprietary online configuration tools (acoustic simulator, LED screen configurator, stage configurator, atmospheric attenuation calculator).

The company's business model is B2B hardware sales combined with project advisory and technical support services. Revenue is generated primarily through sale of professional audio and lighting equipment to installers, integrators, rental companies, and freelance technicians, with secondary revenue from configuration, advisory, and custom project support for hospitality, retail, education, events and live entertainment, entertainment/leisure, and broadcast end-markets. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; transactions are quote-based and channeled through a Spain/Portugal/Andorra dealer network for domestic and regional accounts, direct enterprise sales for major projects, and international distribution partners in 100+ countries across five continents for the WORK PRO brand. The company reports 3,000+ active clients and is privately held, founder-led by CEO José Luis Vila and co-founder Remedios Martínez, with no disclosed external funding.
