EICKEMEYER® Canada

What EICKEMEYER® Canada does

EICKEMEYER® Canada (legal entity: Eickemeyer Veterinary Technology for Life Inc. Corporation) is the Canadian operating subsidiary of the German family-owned veterinary medical technology company Eickemeyer – Medizintechnik für Tierärzte KG, headquartered in Stratford, Ontario. Founded originally in 1961 and now in its third generation of family ownership, the Canadian entity distributes and develops veterinary medical equipment, surgical instruments, and consumable supplies serving primarily small animal veterinary clinics, with secondary segments in equine veterinary practices and veterinary education institutions across Canada and into the Continental USA. The company operates over 1,120 products through a WooCommerce-powered e-commerce storefront alongside a four-territory regional field sales force covering Central, Eastern, Western Canada, and Quebec, with bilingual (English/French) capability.

The product portfolio blends proprietary in-house brands — Dentanomic™ dental instruments, EickView endoscopy systems, Pawsitioners positioning aids, Eickloxx orthopedic implants, Zlig cruciate ligament replacement, EickSonic ultrasonic cleaners, EickWarm Air patient warming, EickTron electrosurgery, and FreezPen cryosurgery — with authorized distribution of global brands including Midmark (anesthesia and workflow equipment), Mindray (patient monitoring, IV/syringe pumps), Icare (tonometry), Millpledge (consumables and pharmaceuticals), Flight Dental Systems, HEINE Optotechnik (ophthalmology diagnostics), and AESCULAP (clippers). The largest product categories by SKU count are Anesthesia (155), Orthopedics (168), Consumables/Surgical Clothing (154), General Instrumentation (151), and Ophthalmology (112).

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time sales of capital equipment (anesthesia machines, monitors, surgical tables, endoscopy, orthopedic implants), recurring reorders of consumables (sutures, catheters, bandages, surgical clothing, dental and pharmacy supplies), and continuing education services (hands-on courses, webinars, conferences hosted at veterinary colleges). Pricing is account-based — customers must log in to access negotiated pricing — with no public list price. Distribution combines direct inside sales and customer support by phone, email, and fax with a 24/7 online store and a field sales team providing personalized account management across regional territories.
