Before 1997, SACO had never worked in entertainment or architecture and was making control panels for nuclear and hydro power plants. When we were in the final stage of developing the world’s first LED screen, using colored pixels to create images, we were approached by the legendary Irish rock band U2 to design and manufacture a giant 50 ft X 150 ft LED video screen for their PopMart tour. This was the world’s first LED touring screen and is listed in the Guinness World Records for largest screen ever toured. Since this tour, SACO has been committed to creating the future of LED video technology.
In this video, Fred Jalbout, Chairman & CEO of SACO, talks about creating the new technology and gets a thank you from Bono, U2’s Lead Vocalist, onstage at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal, Canada on November 2, 1997.
