What AMRAY does

AMRAY is a family-owned Irish manufacturer of radiation protection equipment for healthcare professionals, founded in 1980 by Helen Johnston and headquartered in Drogheda, Ireland. The company designs and produces lead and lead-free protective aprons (vest/skirt, wraparound, and single-front configurations), thyroid collars, lead glasses, face shields, mobile lead screens, fixed shielding, and storage racks, alongside three core protection materials: standard lead, the Light Plus composite, and the Supreme Lead Free material positioned at roughly 30% lighter than conventional lead. Construction relies on proprietary techniques including the Flex-DC process for seamless bonded layers, and products are certified to IEC 61331-1:2014 and IEC 61331-3:2014, the principal international standards for X-ray protective devices. Each apron ships with a 3-year warranty.

The company sells directly to hospitals and clinics and through international distributors, with a dedicated French subsidiary, AmRay SARL in Villeurbanne (established 2009), supported by a Lyon warehouse opened in 2020. Customer reach spans radiology, cardiology, electrophysiology, orthopedics, dental, pediatrics, veterinary, and nuclear medicine, indicating deliberate breadth across clinical specialties rather than concentration in a single department. Beyond hardware, AMRAY offers the A-Track software application for radiation protection equipment inventory and inspection tracking, positioning the company as a workflow-tools provider in addition to a hardware manufacturer. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, consistent with negotiated B2B hospital procurement channels.
