What Ultraray does

Ultraray Group Inc. is a family-owned Canadian manufacturer founded in 1985 and headquartered in Oakville, Ontario, that designs, manufactures, and installs lead-based radiation protection materials, shielding products, technology, and equipment. The company operates through three divisions: Ultraray Radiation Protection (shielding materials, modular/mobile shielding, and consulting), Ultraray Medical (radiation protection apparel and imaging accessories), and Ultraray Metals (lead sheets, bricks, counterweights, and custom fabricated components). Core products include 99.9% pure sheet lead and lead rolls, lead-lined drywall and plywood, lead bricks, lead glass, lead acrylic, high-density concrete blocks, borated polyethylene neutron shielding, lead-lined doors and windows, mobile barriers, modular X-ray control booths, nuclear medicine hot lab equipment, and distributed MAVIG ceiling suspension systems.

The company's technology is built around lead-based attenuation of X-ray, gamma, and neutron radiation, manufactured to standards including ASTM B749, QQ-L-201F, DIN EN 61331-1, and IEC 61331-1. Ultraray operates three manufacturing facilities and multiple warehouses across North America with 100 tonnes of sheet lead in stock, supporting rapid fulfillment to customers in Canada and the United States. It serves healthcare facilities (hospitals, imaging centers, nuclear medicine departments), construction contractors, nuclear/industrial sites, security/defence applications, equipment OEMs, and architects/engineers. Strategic distribution partnerships include a certified Canadian distributorship for MAVIG GmbH premium products and a US nuclear medicine sales arrangement with Advanced Medical & Metals.

Ultraray operates a sales-led, quote-based business model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue streams include one-time sales of shielding materials, custom CNC fabrication, professional installation services, consulting (pre-specification review, drawing coordination, inspection readiness), and modular/mobile shielding product sales. Go-to-market relies on a professional website with a Lead Weight Calculator and Modular Control Booth Builder configurator, a resource library, LinkedIn presence, and a client care team reachable by phone (1-877-338-6857) and request-a-quote forms. The company is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investment.
