In 2004, iQon secured a deal to supply computers for retailer Tesco to be sold in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

In 2006, the company established its iQon France subsidiary based in Toulon to expand sales across Europe.

As of 2007, iQon was Ireland's largest indigenous PC maker and largest PC exporter.

The company sought bankruptcy protection in November 2007 and went into liquidation in January 2008.

As of January 2008, iQon's call center and warranty service divisions continue to operate under a court-appointed liquidator and the company is up for sale.
