Lac-Mac Holdings

What Lac-Mac Holdings does

Lac-Mac Holdings, operating through its legal entity Lac-Mac, Limited, is a privately held Canadian manufacturer of reusable personal protective equipment (PPE) headquartered in London, Ontario. Founded in 1920 as a maker of nursing uniforms, the company has evolved into a specialized producer of flame-resistant, arc-rated, chemical-resistant, and liquid-barrier protective garments sold under two principal sub-brands: R.MOR PROTECTIVE WEAR® for industrial safety applications and R.MOR.Tex® for surgical healthcare textiles. Its core technology platform is built around GORE-TEX PYRAD® fabric, accessed through a 40+ year exclusive partnership with W.L. Gore & Associates, combined with proprietary Polartec® thermal liner integration, aluminized fabric treatments, and in-house pattern engineering including the SAFE-T™ jacket design.

The product portfolio spans 2-Layer and 3-Layer GORE-TEX PYRAD® outerwear, 40 and 75 CAL arc-flash switch suits, multi-hazard garments, chemical splash protective apparel meeting NFPA 1990/1992, and a reusable surgical line including Level 2/3/4 gowns, drapes, wrappers, and table covers. Manufacturing is 100% North American with premium textile sourcing from both North American and German partners, and the facility operates under ISO 9001:2015 certification. Customer segments include electric utilities, electrical consultants and technicians, oil & gas, chemical splash industrial users, cement and molten metal operations, pulp and paper, surgical healthcare, and technical rescue/emergency response.

The business model is a hybrid direct-sales-plus-e-commerce operation. Larger orders flow through a quote-based system with personalized field-rep consultation, custom sizing, and in-house embellishment (barcoding, QR codes, safety-attribute branding). A Shopify-based e-commerce storefront serves mid-market and individual buyers with visible unit pricing (e.g., $48.99 example SKU), while a Wear Trial Program offers one-time discounted trial garments to lower adoption friction. All products are sold as one-time purchases with no disclosed subscription, rental, or managed-service revenue model; recurring revenue, if any, derives from replacement cycles in long-life reusable garments rather than contracted recurring billing.
